The paintshoppro site have 20% off these just now, couple of weeks ago it was 50%. This pic is done in Clarity with some minor tweaks just för show. I'm new to Topaz, got Adjust, Clarity and Detail recently, so can't really answer your question due to minimal experience so far. Here is a typical shot taken on a very cloudy day - it has been fully pp'd and re-sized /export sharpened but I didnt want to push the clarity slider in LR5 any more.

I know I can download a trial but to use them properly, I would need a few days on each. Which is the best plug-in to use, Clarity or Adjust? I've watched the videos and understand that Clarity gives more natural 'pop' but know a few people who use Adjust. I am using LR5 and Photoshop CC for my pp and like the look of the Topaz products (using de-noise at the moment). Thanks for your questions.I have convinced myself I need to get more pop into my bird shots for days when the sun is not shining! Unfortunately, birds will not wait until the light is right.

I recommend you get a free trial of one of the plugins and try it out to see how it works.

When you’re finished, the altered image will be in Lightroom for you. But a lot of people simply go from Lightroom and open a photo with one of the plugins. In that product, you’ll be able to use all of the plugins within one interface. Topaz also has a new product that is in Beta right now called Topaz Studio. You can do this without using layers though. Sometimes I will then make a copy of that layer and apply a second Topaz plugin to that layer. What I usually do is all the processing I can in Lightroom, then I open the photo in Photoshop Elements, make a copy of the background layer, and then use one of the Topaz plugins on that layer. I actually hardly ever use Photoshop unless I’m using it for the purpose of the topaz plugins! I am just in the habit of using photoshop elements with plugins because I like how the layering works in PSE. I wouldn’t say that Topaz is a replacement for Photoshop, but you can do things more easily in Topaz because of all the built in presets. But these are all things that you either cannot do in Lightroom at all, or you can do it a lot better and more efficiently with the Topaz plugins. Hi Allan, that’s right, if I could do it in Lightroom, I probably would because I love Lightroom. Remember, you can pick up a free trial of the Topaz Collection, or any of the individual plugins, and give them a try before you buy. There are a few presets for subtle changes, some for more dramatic effects, some painterly effects, and even some Black and White effects. The reason that I like it is because it has a little of everything. Topaz Adjust – this is where I started and the plugin I still recommend for anyone just getting started with Topaz. Read my review on Topaz B&W Effects If you’re only going to buy one Topaz B&W Effects – you’ll get a lot more than black and white too! Processed with Topaz B&W Effects. Topaz Impression – if you like painterly effects, you’ll be impressed with this one. Topaz Texture Effects – the easiest way to create beautiful images with texture overlays Processed with Topaz Texture Effects Topaz ReStyle – offers dramatic colour adjustments that give your image an entirely new look and feel Processed with Topaz Restyle Read my review on Topaz DeNoise If you like more dramatic adjustments Topaz DeNoise will remove noise from the less detailed parts of your image while leaving the detailed areas sharp. Topaz DeNoise – if you’ve been looking for the best way to remove noise in your photos this is it. Topaz Clarity – gives subtle adjustments to colour, contrast and clarity that make your photos pop Processed with Topaz Clarity There’s so much to choose from! Here are my recommendations: If you like subtle adjustments The Complete Collection includes 17 different plugins that you can use in conjunction with Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or PhotoFXlab.īut if you’re not ready to go all in with the Complete Collection, you might be wondering which plugins you should get. The thing I love about Topaz Plugins is that they cover everything you would want to do with your images from subtle adjustments that make your photos pop to some not-so-subtle impressionist, HDR and texture effects.
