    I know that many people on this site are not fans of HDR or pseudo-HDR imagery but I thought that I'd give Topaz Adjust a try. I was going for an advertisement style look on this shot. First time to use this plugin and I just grabbed an image that I had handy on my hdd.What do you think?:confused:

    The original looks like it has more dynamic range than the processed one.

    I use topaz before some black and white conversions to bring out some of the shadows, all these things have their place.

    I like Topaz Adjust and find it much more useful than Photomatix - As always I guess its a matter of taste , how much is too much etc . No doubt its fun to use with a bit of novelty factor :) here a couple Ive processed tonight

    Where do you get the Topaz Adjust button, or function would probably be more like it. I use Picasa but it doesn't seem to have this function. Is there a free down loadable...eh...button...or dial for this function?

    tut *cough* pirate *cough*

    Never tried Topaz plug in, is it really any better than Photomatix? [which I've only used about 5 times]

    It's $50, which is about €37. There's also a trial version available from their website.:)
