Nik software is very compatible as a plug-in with Elements 10. I use it all the time in Elements 10 and even used it in Elements 6 before I upgraded.

At first I read "watch your nose" and that made me cross (eyed). You sound like the type of person who would warn, don't kiss any one, disease you know, yuck.. !!! :lol:

As with ANY of the edit programs if you push parameters too far you will get grain, blotching, and so on; this is NOT limited to TOPAZ. To be a nay sayer is easy and not constructive and dashes cold water on enthusiasm. :XD: :thumbdown:

If one indeed has found a problem, then one should give a detail, and a solution; as in a pretend comment... "Noise can be a problem if you push too far, so pick a ++ and view an area in the sky where a slider too far will show up. Good advice for any adjustment, but in the mean time, push those controls to the limit to see just what the effect will be, fun, then back off if you are serious about the shot."

One of their Webinars was specific to work flow. As I recall deNoise was the first program you run so that you do not amplify noise that was there in the original photo. If there is excess noise in the original, it will be treated as a fine detail as one would expect. So, Pounder35, enjoy playing with Topaz and if you get board or are working with one of those fun 3D programs, then indeed, "Watch your Nose". :lol: :idea: :thumbup:
