Topaz Detail

Topaz Detail is a plugin designed to help you put on emphasis on the details in landscapes or portrait pictures that you process using Photoshop, PhotoFXLab, Irfanview, Lightroom or Paint Shop Pro.

The addon comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that consists of three tabs, the largest one being the working space where you can check out the modifications you make in real time. You have several categories of presents to choose from, from the smooth collection that could go well with portraits to highlighting details that can work with landscapes, for instance.

You will be happy to learn that the presents are customizable and hence, you can tweak the shadow, highlight and details from the right tab. Simply put, you can enhance the emphasis on the small, medium or large details and boost the ones that you want to draw attention to.

Generally speaking, sharpening tools are focused on enhancing the edge contrast, thus making the output appear not as clear as it should. What makes the plugin stand out is the fact that it lets you highlight the details that already exist in the picture and consequentially, make the image look more defined. Needless to say that you do not have to worry about edge halos, artifacts and other side effects.

Regardless of the object or subject you focus, the tool enables you to underline the depth and richness. The direct advantage is that you can make even the most monotonous component appealing and vivid.

If you are looking for a tool that enables you to apply detail sharpness to the details you want to draw the attention to without having to worry about artifacts and halos, then perhaps you can consider giving Topaz Detail a try.
