I'll take another look at that Topaz tonight. I didn't see that it would work with PSE at all. I would buy that right away if it does.

I use several of the Topaz plugins with PSE7 bud, no problems at all.

The splurge on the main site doesn't directly say it works with Elements, my thoughts were it doesnt say it won't work with Elements either. DL the trials and play :)

Well that was cool! I found and installed a trial version of Topaz Simplify. A truely neat program. I might have to look into getting the whole suite. And yes, it does work with PhotoShop as well as PSE 1-8.

So here's my latest effort, this time run through the Topaz Simplify plug-in.

I didn't use the Watercolors filter, instead I liked the looks of the Buzslim filter and then made some of my own adjustments to the preset image. This is more like what I was thinking, like a painting, but with some photo qualities still. I also reduced the red amount just a bit before going through Topaz. I didn't like the way the BG was so close to the color of the flowers.

Thoughts?

Looking good :)

I have the Topaz Bundle myself, i find i use Adjust, Simplify and Denoise more than the others but for the price the bundle package is worth it. All imo of course :)

Yeah, I've been wanting a deNoise program for a while. Do you like it?

It's good enough for my needs. Other people will say to use other software but this one is fine.
