Starting off with an old one, my first work with Topaz, with help from Kelli.
Some additional work beyond this did go into it and a similar shot is now the cover of a catalogue.

I hope it's okay if I jump in now and then :-) Kelli introduced me to TA in December, and I finally got the new version. Fun! |

I went nuts on side challenges and PAD on Flickr, so I am a bit late on these.

Here is one I did with my horse. Tried to mask out the halos but still has some around the ears.

I'll play.
I have used Topaz Adjust on quite a few images. I like some of the effects I get with it.
Here are a few:

Well, you are and you aren't... Look at the two images side-by-side and notice how much more *dimensional* the restaurant shot is. That's partly due to the sense of perspective, of course, but a major component of it is the luminosity, the light vales v the dark values, there's just a sense of modeling or molding that's lacking in the tequila shot... Hedre's a variant of it where a duplicate layer was set to soft light mode, then some burning was done on the left; nothing else...

This is a 665nm IR image that I just played around with.

I like how the sky looks in this one. |

Here is mine I used Topaz adjust the Spicify adjustment in layers and lowered opacity some. I cropped it a lot to get a close up so it was a little soft thought the spicify worked well with the chestnut color of the horses.

This method of processing is like potato chips. "Ya can't eat just one."
Here is my latest but it was difficult to decide which one to display as I've found several more to play with.

Hi guys - thanks for all the comments! The connection I have in this hotel is not the best so I'm not able to view pics here. Hopefully the 'net will be a bit better in my next hotel so I can see what you've been up to! And maybe by then I'll have a flower or two Topaz'd to share as well. :-) |
