Fisherman

The strength of the personality of this old fisherman needed a little assistance.

For the task I chose .....

Topaz 'Detail'

And from the extensive menu,
I selected
'Interior Strong Detail'

Notice the increase in
micro-tonal delineation.
The hands in particular reveal a greater sense of 'character'

 

'Reduced Circumstances'

I wished to emphasise the distressed state of this one-time opulent hotel

To achieve the effect I required
I used a combination of two
Topaz Plug-Ins from the
Topaz 'Adjust' menu:

Adjust 'Simplify'
&
Adjust 'Neutraliser'

'Eglise de Cabenac'

I felt this picture required a more painterly and romantic appearance

I selected Topaz 'Simplify' and used 'Underpainting'

   

'Portal'

The observant will have noticed that variations of 'Portal' appear on the Topaz introduction page

For this particular variant I used a combination of two Topaz
Plug-Ins:

Topaz 'Adjust' - Auto-Exposure Correction
and
Topaz 'Simplify' - Underpainting

   

'Waste Oil'

I wished to convey a sense of grime and waste coupled with the apparent outlines factory buildings

To achieve the result I used
Topaz 'Detail' selecting 'Mono Contrast Enhancement'

   

'Duo'

I opted for a warm, romantic style of treatment with a painterly look

I chose Topaz 'Simplify' and from the menu selected 'BuzSim'

'Refuge'

This is perhaps a little more subtle in treatment.

I chose Topaz 'Detail' and selected 'Microcontrast' from the menu

'Topaz 'Detail' allows fine adjustments in contrast and sharpening. Topaz plug-Ins are designed to avoid introducing annoying halo artifacts
