Angelo .. yes, you have to apply the effect every time. It’s a fairly laborious thing to do for multiple images. So it might need to be duplicated as an action if you intend running this for a number of images.

Further to the above, and something I should of mentioned or better explained.
I have followed the above steps and get the achieved result as described.
In better detail, I should have asked, after every Topaz adjustment, you must hit the apply and ok buttons.
Can I short cut flicking between the two programmes and just access the Topaz actions within PS only.
Can I drag the plug ins, directly into PS and click an action just the same as the “tools for processing” and “shadow range” as downloaded in another of your tangents.

I have downloaded a trial version of Topaz Adjust, prior to purchasing.
I understand that it is a plug in for PS, and it does appear in my filter menu.
My question is though, when I use the smooth and flat, I cannot return to PS.
How are you making the adjustments via PS, which is what I see in the above tangent.

It’s a bonus to have a place to start with the software, thanks to your tutorial. Also took a little time to rummage through your extensive postings – good stuff!

Openly sharing your knowledge and techniques (and the time it takes to do so) is most generous of you, Neil.

Thom, as mentioned there, I used them in the most simplistic way, at their default settings. Which also means I haven’t even scratched the surface of what is possible.

Great info!

What settings do you set the filters within Tobaz: Smooth & Flat, Clarity & Portrait Drama.
