TOPAZ CLEAN PRESETS FULL

The way I’ve found this styling to be most effective is to export your full sized file to an output size of roughly 1000 pixels on the long side (I think this was a 1024 pixel long file) which means that my image is squished down into smaller dimensions ultimately enlarging each effective pixel which allows this type of effect to take hold giving it this whimsical style. The catch here, is that because Clean 3 is basing all of its adjustments on pixel based measurements, the larger the overall file, the less intense this effect (because the pixels are relatively smaller). While I wouldn’t want every picture I take to end up looking like this, I am drawn to it in certain situations as I’m always looking for fun and creative ways to play with my imagery. Not one that will garner praises from photojournos or purists, but luckily, I’m neither.

Largely due to the fact that the main software plugin that accomplishes this is a PC only plugin, so being on a mac immediately eliminates my potential patronage, until now… There is a catch which I’ll explain below, but I’ve also figured out a decent workaround for said catch.Ĭertainly an abstract application. This is an effect I’ve seen but, until now, not been able to replicate. Let’s move to the other trick that Clean 3 has up it’s sleeve. While I wouldn’t say it is geared to provide the results or fine tuning that other, more expensive plugins are built for, the price is great for what it provides. Software plugins are available to aid and assist a program like Photoshop to do the lion’s share, and until using Topaz Clean 3, I’ve not found one that can be employed as effectively at such a low cost.

Skin retouching is an art in and of itself, and there are many tactics that professional retouchers use to make images look “magazine ready” so to speak. This is also done without any cloning done before hand, which of course you’d want to do to take care of the major blemishes. I wanted to show the default here without any manipulation other than masking out the eyes and lips, but I think I’d probably use a soft brush at about 15% opacity to just slightly bring back a little more in those areas as opposed to dropping the overall opacity of the layer which would bring back more of the texture in her near cheek, which I think looks good, relatively natural and much better than it did before. I think overall though, for a quick couple of clicks, it does pretty damn well. While the default setting looks good, I think with a little light masking, you could bring back some more natural texture in the chin and far cheek. So I hope that you found my little review of Topaz Clean useful.Using the Skin Even preset in Topaz Clean 3 Sometimes the random results can be quite interesting and even attractive! In any case, it’s fun to see if you produce a happy accident with your image. There is also an “I Feel Lucky!” button which chooses a new set of random settings every time you click on it.

On the right side of the window you can manually tweak all of the settings, which gives you quite a bit control over your image. Here is the same image of my cat processed with the “I Feel Lucky” Button: I Feel Lucky Topaz Clean Here is the processed result using this preset: Stylize Details Topaz Clean Presets can be found on the left side of the window, which is the same for all of the Topaz plug-ins.

Here is the original image open in Topaz Clean: Topaz Clean Screenshotįirst, I chose the “Stylize Details” preset. My test image is of my cat (I’m now officially a “cat lady” thanks to this little guy). I hate feeling confused by software and wasting lots of time looking through help menus and Online forums in order to use it. This software is extremely easy and intuitive to use, which is important me personally. Topaz Clean has the same easy and attractive user interface as all of the companies other Photoshop plug-ins. I have a license for the software Bundle but I just literally downloaded Topaz Clean today, and decided to write a quick review of the software. So far I am really liking the Topaz plug-ins in general.
