pretty much the perfect photoshop plugin for extreme macro It means you can mask in an area, fiddle with the effect over that area and adjust it on the fly in a non-destructive manner. This makes it even more effective in the hairy areas of insects, which is always quite a challenging area of an extreme macro image to work on.
#TOPAZ CLARITY REVIEW UPGRADE#
Topaz Detail 3 introduced as a free upgrade in December 2012 which is a substantial improvement on Detail 2, with localised detail brushing now included. Once you've got some nice settings then it's always worth remembering to save the settings as you'll find that it saves you time in subsequent works. I've never had much use for the de blur tab as it seems to create a lot of background crinklies. superb detail enhancing tool that's always one of the first tools I use on any extreme macro image The tonal sliders are usually the settings that make the most difference by making the colours pop for whatever reason I find them easier to use than photoshop controls. I personally always tend to use Topaz Detail in a duplicate layer of the original, and build it up gradually by having every setting at 0 and starting from the top down, detail adjustment first. This is perhaps why Topaz detail also includes some colour control adjustment gauges that enables you to bring the colours back to where they were before adjustment. But by altering micro detail, you'll often have some colour shifts as well, and they can be tricky to control. One of the things about Topaz Detail is that it has very fine detail adjustment gauges. So by preserving a range of settings you can make sure that you get exactly the effect that you want. What's nice about Topaz Detail is that you can remember the settings that you used and store it as one of your memory presets. Brings out the detail in shots like nothing else I know.
#TOPAZ CLARITY REVIEW SOFTWARE#
Topaz Detail, probably my favourite software for photography projects. It brings out detail and sharpens by adjusting micro contrast in a manner that no other imaging tool seems to be capable of. Topaz of this clarity is available affordably ( under $100- depending on other factors.Topaz Detail is a superb detail enhancing tool that's always one of the first tools I use on any extreme macro image. There are no visible inclusions or haziness. Perfect Clarity: This topaz has perfect clarity. However, the clarity is still not perfect: we can see small specs of inclusions in the insed of the stone. Good Clarity: This topaz is clear enough to be faceted. The haziness inside this stone prevents it from sparkling as much as a clearer stone. Poor Clarity: The topaz in this ring is cut en cabochon – a cut only used for topaz with poor clarity. Since very clear peices of topaz are so available, there is no reason to buy peices of such poor clarity. (For this reason, they were made into beads rather than being faceted). Terrible Clarity: These topaz beads are so heavily included, they are almost opaque.

These topazes are usually cut en cabochon or made into beads. Topaz with less-than-perfect clarity tends to look milky or slightly opaque. Fortunately, topaz of such clarity is relatively easy to find. The Best topaz gemstones are perfeclty clear without any inclusions (internal impurities or cracks) whatsoever.
