Topaz anyone......?

Your views ?????

I infrequently use Topaz Adjust to mimic HDR with a single image. It does a nice job.

I have the full suite of plugins. I like it, I find it easy to use, and I like the fact that upgrades are free.

I think they have a month trial for the software. It might be worth downloading one at a time to give you a good chance to see if you like each one.

I've been using a few of them for several years now. Great stuff.

I have their B/W Effects, which I like quite a bit.

My first love (after Photoshop itself) is still NIK Tools, but in my experience Topaz software is absolutely top-notch.

Have them all. Really only use clarity and detail.

For anyone interested, coupon code: TOPAZ2015 will get you a 35% discount.

The code is supposed to be good until December 31st.

I happened onto a copy of their stuff. As a toolset goes I much prefer the Nik Collection. With that said, Impression, Glow and Simplify have become a welcome set of chisels in my toolbox. They're really easy to overuse, but judicious application can really make an otherwise OK image pop, and using Simplify with the right layer blend mode can help define lines in your image that would otherwise only get pulled with an over-use of a structure or clarity slider that impacts things you don't want and cannot easily mask. I can easily live without them, but like I said, every tool in your box shouldn't be a hammer.

I haven't tried the Texture tool yet, but with the 35% off I may give that a shot - thanks for the code.

I have been using Topaz for a while now, I cannot afford Nik........
