Anyone use NIK software or topaz? Do you guys recommend it? I have never use plug ins before and thinking maybe its time for me to buy one of the bundle.

Any opinion?

I used Topez De-Noise to remove the Noise from High ISO shots, does a pretty good job.

I don't think you will go wrong with either one. I tend to lean toward Topaz most of the time, especially Adjust 5, and Clarity looks like it will be interesting to use also. Nik software is superb: HDR Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro are my faves, and Color Efex Pro is great also. Now that I rely on Photoshop more and more, I tend to use Nik software less and less, and Topaz Adjust more. But everyone else's mileage will vary, I am sure.

IOW, both bundles are worthy, and will really help your enjoyment of the hobby.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
