I used TA (enhance contrast preset) to bring out the details and contrast in the buds, masked the rest. Followed by some dodging and burning. This is usually how I use it, but I look forward to digging deeper in to the software.

ETA: fixed the link

One last example from my TA style. I used multiple layers with TA, utilizing dramatic, enhance, and crisp, to varying degrees and areas of the photograph.

I don't like the extra noise I get with TA, but I'm adjusting. It's faster than multiple curve layers.

This SC ought to generate some great discussion of PP ideas and tips. Hopefully the release version will install properly for me.

Does this mean that we have to refer to Michelle as "Her Royal Highness"?

Yup. Just find 'em in the folder Topaz stores the presets in, and send 'em on their way. Mine's at C:\Program Files\Topaz Labs\Topaz Adjust 3\Presets

Here's a link to some more: ATNcentral . Some fun ones are there.

I've learned a lot from the Topaz Flickr group.

Thanks Michelle and Bear!!

I personally like Topaz Princess, but somehow I upgraded her to Topaz Queen today!

Requesting Princess of Pigeons, if that's not too presumptious. And I may actually try to shoot and Topaz at least one pigeon during the month of May.
