I received an email with a 20% off coupon for Topaz software during this month. ; I've been debating buying one or more of the individual packages or possibly the whole bundle.

Do any of you use Topaz? ; Any recommendations?
 
the noise reduction denoise is very highly rated. I use it and so does Tim. I also use adjust
I have simplify and clean also but haven't really used them yet
 
Denoise and adjust are totally worth it. ;

Kind of a stupid question, but what is Topaz? ; Is it editing software? ; All I have is Elements so I do not do much in the line of post processing yet.
 
Topaz is a company that makes Photoshop plugins. ; They may work for elements as welll. ; Go to topazlabs.com

; ; *ReMask is only compatible with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro. ReMask is NOT compatible with iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Photo Impact or Irfanview.
 
Thanks for the recommendations. ; If anyone wants the coupon code, send me a PM before noon on Oct. 31, 2010 as it expires at midnight that day.
 
Thanks for the explaination. ; I am assuming that since I still do very little post processing I should not run out to purchase this? ; I should spend more time learning to use what I have already? ; I am glad that it is compatible with Elements. ; I do not think my laptop can handle Photoshop. ; I believe my processor me not be up to snuff.
 
Topaz Adjust is a fun tool and can create many interesting images, I love it. ; I use it as a plug in to Lightroom 3, very convenient. ; Lightroom 3 noise reduction is so good, there is no need for me to use any 3rd party noise reduction.
 
the key with using the topaz plugins is to be subtle. ; minor enhancements are great, large heavy adjustments make the photo look like you are trying to compensate for a bad exposure. ;


1st step is to always dupe the background layer... ; (ctrl+j) in windows.
