These two very closely related, but differently treated images are going in as a pair. |

This was an outtake from "Orange". Tried some subtle usage of Adjust to bring out the details. Not sure if it would have done any better than the actual entry.

Topaz Denoise followed by Topaz detail, with about 90% desaturated and the small, medium and large detail sliders each about three-quarters of the way to the right. Finished with levels and brightness/contrast adjustments.
ETA: I didn't notice earlier how much halo'ing there is around the branches. I have two versions.. I may have submitted the wrong one. LOL!!

What's a better subject for Topaz Adjust than a rusty old truck?

This is from the FS. I took this in Boston.
I used Topaz Clean (to smooth out the blur) and then Topaz Detail (to emphasize the... detail!)
Then I think that I resized it and used Topaz Adjust to put more emphasis on the color and that bird on the right. The bird on the right stood out in the original, but now it pops :) |

The first shot is my daughter giving me her funny face. The second shot is my wife around the same age. The shot of my wife was taken by father-in-law who was a photographer and photo journalist at the time.

I've been so busy (and getting over a cold) that I haven't had a chance to do anything new for this sc, but I did use Topaz Adjust for this, among other things.

This one's a little strange, I think...
