Scott, the organizer of the Vero Beach photography group, better known as Adventure Photography Workshop, left his camera unattended, so I snuck in a few shots of his gear while he was away. I really liked how this HDR shot came out. I was extremely impressed when I applied Topaz Adjust, I can’t really explain the results so I will post a before and after photo with this article. I’ve been very happy with the extra detail that Topaz Adjust has added to my work. I was amazed with my rocking chair photo. I used vibrance preset for that image and wow, I was speechless. This doesn’t happen with every image.
