![]() It does such a great job of tone mapping a single JPEG or TIFF, which isn’t a strong point for most HDR software in my experience. Some are straight from the camera and a few are obvious photo-manipulations processed in Photoshop:Īdjust is the first plug-in I downloaded and tried from Topaz Labs and I fell in love with it instantly. Here are the original images used to evaluate the plug-ins. Yes, the sheer number of images in this review might be a bit much! Topaz Labs Bundle Review Also, I will include a screen-shot of the processing window, and will include any random thoughts I may have. I have processed quite a few photos in each of the Topaz Labs plug-ins which will be included in this review. This can potentially save a lot of time as you don’t have to open your images in Photoshop first. ![]() Also included in the bundle is Fusion Express, which allows you to use the plug-ins within Aperture, Lightroom and iPhoto. There are now a total of eight Topaz Labs Photoshop plug-ins, which are all included in the software bundle. The trial versions are fully functional and they do allow you to save your images without watermarks. You can download the bundle of Topaz Labs plug-ins and use them free for a full thirty days. While it makes huge economic sense to purchase the entire bundle of plug-ins, you can purchase each plug-in separately if you don’t need all of them. I’ve written a few short reviews on a handful of Topaz plug-ins, but this is my first comprehensive review of the entire bundle. The Topaz Labs bundle of photography software is my absolute favorite image processing tool. Hope you enjoy it!….Category: Featured, Photography Software Reviews Tags: coupon, featured, topaz Leave a Comment An Inner Glow Layer Style was added for the vignetting using a Blend Mode of Normal, Opacity of 30%, White color and Size of 250 and a Stroke was set around the outside using black at 3 pixels Inside. Text was placed in a text bounding box created by selecting the Text Tool and dragging out a box that fit the size needed. To find this humorous poem, click on Ode to a Gerbera Daisy. For the text I found this cute poem by Leanne Wildermuth, a pet portrait artist photographer and web developer, that had just the right sentiment. The Layer Mask of the flower was now applied to the layer by right-clicking on the Layer Mask and selecting Apply Layer Mask. A New Layer was placed underneath this layer and filled with a nice Fall brown color. Next a Layer Mask was added to the duplicated flower layer where the selection was turned into the layer mask of. Since now the flower was selected and I wanted the background selected, the whole selection had to be inverted by going to Select -> Inverse. ( Localized Color Clusters checked, Fuzziness set to 19, and Range 100%.) Then back in Photoshop used the Lasso Tool – pressed the ALT key to remove the little flashing spots in the middle – pretty fast process. On a duplicated background layer the Sampled Colors eyedroppers were used to sample the yellow flower and as much of the center as possible. (I also discovered while processing this image that my plant has bugs! Ugh!) I wanted to add a little text to it so I had to isolate the daisy from the background – used my new learned tricks from my How To Use the Color Range Command with CS4 Through CC 14.1 blog. I am a big fan of Gerbera Daisies and since I had this little beauty popping up in a pot on my back porch, I decided to photograph it.
