Cheers Dennis - way ahead of you! LOL! I think that I'll be buying the whole bundle. What a great bunch of plugins!!!! Thanks so much for the heads-up!
I'll give the MT-160 shot a burl, but I still reckon that yours is massively spectacular and deserves to be the one!
I agree! The plugin set looks really good. I almost bought it yesterday after Dennis' recommendation in this thread!
The black space makes it look like I’m on a close approach trajectory, heading for lunar rendezvous on an Apollo mission. I love the smoother tones on this one - in contrast my shot has that photojournalistic look about it. A bit like me – rough and gritty!
The plug in seems to work on the edges and make adjustments at the molecular level. I’ve just been using the default settings so far and blending in the effect on a separate layer.
Using the plug in is almost as good as watching your 1st print gradually come up in the dev tray in the darkroom.
Sorry to add it to your thread, but I'd like to emphasize the results that the Topaz set that you've introduced to us give. That shot has a slight "Denoise" applied to it as well, which resulted in the lower terminator smoothness. Very impressive.
Only problem with these darn things is that the bar is raised so much furhter each time they're developed! LOL!!
Sorry to add it to your thread, but I'd like to emphasize the results....
Hi Chris
I’ve just spent the whole of the previous night, ‘til the wee hours of the morning, punching some older (terrestrial) photos through Topaz Adjust and Topaz Detail and where the original’s tones and detail support the actions of the plug-ins, the new output really pops!
Way too much data, a veritable plethora of software tools and sooo many adjustment settings….sigh….will I ever see daylight again!
Cheers
Dennis
PS – no need to apologise, from what I have seen on IIS your posts are always characterised by a professional, courteous and thoughtful manner and add value to the discussions.
I am truly amazed at the image and the processing capabilities. I will definitely need to look at the Topaz plugins. To me they give a warmness a natural look and clarity that I have not seen before.
New version of Topaz Detail - just received from Topaz labs via email:

Notification: Topaz Detail 1.1 available as a free upgrade. Major improvement: processing speed!
We've had a lot of great feedback about detail enhancement plug-in Topaz Detail. One of the recurring themes was that you loved the effect... but the processing speed was too slow! This update addresses this concern and cuts the time required to pre-process an image on most computers in half. It also addresses some stability and compatibility concerns, and is overall a highly recommended update.
Download Topaz Detail v1.1
Click the Mac or Win button to download the update. Windows users should uninstall their older version and re-install the newer version from the website. Mac users need only install the new version on top of the old one. Your existing license key will work for this update.
Also, check out some samples from the Topaz Gallery that were enhanced using Topaz Detail!
Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback on Detail (or any of our other products) - it's your advice that makes it possible to constantly improve our products. Enjoy the free update, and please let us know what you think by replying to this email!
Best regards,
Eric from Topaz Labs
