Topaz Adjust 5

January 26, 2012 • Blog, Tech Tips

I try a ton of new software as it comes out, either for reviews in articles I write or because something looks really good.  Topaz Adjust 5 is better than just good, it is fantastic!  This plugin offers a variety of actions and effects, but what I  really like is the effect it has on my landscape shots.

Here is an example.  This image was taken last week in Yellowstone.  We had a lot of overcast skies, so there wasn’t much contrast and pop to the images.  I ran the ‘heavy grunge’ HDR effect on this shot, and one click I had a much nicer image (the image at top).  This program is inexpensive, and a great way to spice up your image with one click.  I also use Alien Skin Exposure 3 to add effects.  My favorite is their Velvia action.
