Description

I recently acquired the Topaz Suite (Adjust, Denoise and Simplify), a Photoshop plug-in. I played around with it this weekend, using several presets, to create this image from a picture I took at a local boys high school basketball game recently. Let me know what you think!

Canon 85 f/1.8; ISO 1600; 1/320; f/4; cropped and resized.



Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 85.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

This so works Ronald! I think it is the first application of Topaz on B&W I have seen. Only this afternoon I was thinking about purchasing Topaz and I think you may have pushed me over the edge. Which of the Topaz suite actions and plugins were used on this image ?
