| Thanks for sharing your steps. I haven't tried using that many, although I have combined about three. The texture of the eroding stone is emphasized well. |

| Thanks for the info Robert. Typically I use Topaz in a cumulative fashion: process a layer then dupe that layer to add another effect. Sometimes I do what you say and process a layer, and then mask the area that doesn't look good with that effect. I'm going to download those two tools you mentioned. |

That's an interesting approach. I've used it to some degree, but never so extensively. I'm more likely to do a mask on the second layer and paint out what I don't like than I am to do more than 2 layers.
Something useful you might want to try: OnOne software has a free download of just a few of their tools, and included is a "Dynamic range painter" tool, that literally allows you to brush in more dynamic range in the areas you need it. They also have a great "golden hour" preset that's the best warming filter I've ever used. |
