And easy solution to this is duplicate your base layer and apply the sharpening to the second layer. So when I sharpened my image, the foreground was right but the background was too sharp. Now note here, what was mostly out of focus was the foreground as people walking closer to the camera will cover more distance in the frame of the camera, during the opening of the shutter, than the people far away. The Detail plug-in will restore your blurry photos to something respectable.Īnd it works pretty well, here you see below a photo that was really out of focus with probably some motion blur to it since it was taken with a slow shutter speed at night and people were walking. This plug-in is not so much to sharpen your photos that are already in focus but it was developed to sharpen photos that are either out of focus or photos with a slight motion blur to them. I particularly like the presets under the Creative Detail Collection and here are below a few of them. As the same says, you want to use this plug-in when you need to enhance the details in your photos. If you feel limited by Photoshop’s options for sharpening than this plug-in might be for you. Note that after denoising your image, you can then sharpen it for better results.ĭetail is a great plug-in to be used to add sharpness and contrast to your photos. The presets are separated into 2 categories, JPEG and RAW depending on the photos you are working on and effects go from subtle to stronger.īelow is an example of what the plug-in can do. This is especially useful for darker skies and night or low light photos.

It basically turn your photos into cartoons but you can also use those presets to quickly smooth out any skin which can be a real time saver. Topaz Clean is probably my favorite plug-in. This plug-in is especially useful when you want to add contrast to your image but don’t want to increase the highlights. There are 9 collections to choose your effects from for specific types of photos: Architecture, Documentary, Fashion, General, Landscape, Macro, Nature, Portrait and Wedding. With close to 100 effects to choose from, I find that it is most effective when you apply a subtle boost to the contrasts like in the images of the old man below. The Topaz Clarity plug-in enhances contrasts. Here’s below the best effect I could find, it is called “Aged Effect” and it was within the Stylized Collection.

If for whatever reason you want to give your photos the “vintage” look and aren’t too confident in Photoshop, then this plugin might be for you. Frankly, I wasn’t too impressed with this plug-in, I think you can get much better B&W in Photoshop with just a bit more effort. The black & white collection has also about 100 effects. I tested out a few presets for you below, starting with the ‘Blueprint’ effect. Interesting also is for each preset, you can easily adjust the settings so you get an effect that is just right for your photo.

I find this plug-in especially great for tone mapping and fake HDR effects while I’m sure beginners will like how fast they can edit and add some “pop” to their photos without spending too much time in Photoshop. Topaz Adjust is for both professionals and amateurs. It also includes cool effects like the ‘Blueprint’ effect you see below.
