I chose those presets based wanting the photo to "pop".īoth programs offer quite a huge amount of flexibility, and I'm literally grabbing two simple presets with no further editing (blend modes, opacity, masking, etc). Bottom right, Clarity with "Fur and Feathers II" preset. Top Left, Adjust with the "Photo Pop" preset. I thought you might find this somewhat useful: I did a small edit on the jpeg provided using luminosity blends in RGB and color adjustments in L*a*b. Photoshop by itself can provide the subtle type of enhancements that can provide pop without destroying the the original details and nuances. The paintshoppro site have 20% off these just now, couple of weeks ago it was 50%. This pic is done in Clarity with some minor tweaks just för show. I'm new to Topaz, got Adjust, Clarity and Detail recently, so can't really answer your question due to minimal experience so far. Here is a typical shot taken on a very cloudy day - it has been fully pp'd and re-sized /export sharpened but I didnt want to push the clarity slider in LR5 any more. I know I can download a trial but to use them properly, I would need a few days on each. Which is the best plug-in to use, Clarity or Adjust? I've watched the videos and understand that Clarity gives more natural 'pop' but know a few people who use Adjust. I am using LR5 and Photoshop CC for my pp and like the look of the Topaz products (using de-noise at the moment). I have convinced myself I need to get more pop into my bird shots for days when the sun is not shining! Unfortunately, birds will not wait until the light is right.
