DeNOISE

Topaz DeNoise's technology works completely under the hood. It automatically detects the correct amount of noise reduction for each image and gives the user a simple control to increase or decrease the amount of reduced noise in the image. Users can quickly tweak this single parameter and see major results.

Topaz DeNoise also includes many different presets and the ability to save and create your own presets. Included presets like Raw Normal, sRAW Normal, and JPEG HQ make processing photos more efficient, and many user groups share useful presets and settings with each other.

ReMASK

Topaz ReMask takes advantage of familiar built-in Photoshop functions and users' existing knowledge of masking techniques to make masking as fast and painless as possible. In fact, it's probably the closest software out there to a true one-click masking solution.

Topaz ReMask is specifically engineered to supercharge the masking and extraction workflow for photographers and designers within Photoshop. Other masking tools, both within Photoshop and other third party filters, require intricate brushing, sampling, and refining for a detailed mask. Topaz ReMask, on the other hand, does all the heavy lifting while requiring a minimum of user input. It really is fast — and does a great job.

If you can find a masking plugin that does a better and faster job, Topaz Labs will actually give you the product for free! See below.

CLEAN

This portrait was done using the 'SkinEven' preset included with Clean 2, which intentionally only removed medium-sized discolorations and blotches while preserving major facial features and tiny but important skin texture.

You can do much more with Topaz Labs' Clean plugin, though — edge sharpening and artistic effects to create painterly effects.

DETAIL

Topaz Detail is designed to give you full creative control over all aspects of detail enhancement without creating edge artifacts or those horrible halos when you sharpen. It internally separates the image into three detail sizes - small, medium, and large details - and offers fine control over the precise manipulation of each detail type.

In addition to halo-free detail enhancement and sharpening, Topaz Detail also offers selective tone control that increases luminance based on color families. This makes it easy to convert color images into stunning black and white photos.

SIMPLIFY

Turn any regular photo into a beautiful painting with the sophisticated Topaz Simplify plug-in tool for Photoshop. Blur the distinction between photographic realism and art to give your viewers something truly unique to look at: Topaz Simplified photo pieces blend your digital photography work and the handiwork of a painter. Although I've never tried printing to Giclee, it would be bound to produce something amazing.
