![]() Same basic processing as the two previous images using Topaz Adjust and the Spicify preset. As with the previous image I added that small black border I have come to like for these sorts of images. The previous image started out as a 2 stops underexposed frame and this normal exposure produced even more iridescence when the Spicify preset was applied in Topaz Adjust. Here’s another version of the same car from another frame that I captured with a normal exposure value. I finished it with a small black border that just felt right to me when I applied it. As you can see I was well rewarded and captured some incredible textures and colors in this image. ![]() I knew from experience that the Spicify preset in Topaz Adjust would reveal a rainbow of iridescent colors in weathered dark paint that is streaked with iron oxides from the rust around it. I decided to stop anyway and shoot some rusty vintage tin for processing with Topaz Adjust. It was around 12 o’clock and the sun was pretty high in the sky which is almost always regarded as a poor time to shoot anything. On my motorcycle ride up US 31 yesterday I came across a 1940 Chevrolet sedan sitting outside BABBS Auto Collision Center in Sellersburg Indiana.

One of the things I like about how ReStyle worked was the way it didn’t create or amplify any noise in the dark areas of the image. I intentionally allowed the exposure to be dark in the foreground to lend an air of mystery to the final image. In this second version I used Topaz ReStyle and selected the Fiery Night Preset to really change the sky colors.As you can see it has an entirely different feel from the first image The only difference was the Topaz program I chose to use on the original image. Spaghetti Junction Sunrise (Topaz Restyle Version, Fiery Night Preset Version) The Clarity version allowed me to bring out the colors in the sunrise sky and the reflection in the foreground while still keeping the equipment subdued yet readable. I opted to use this frame because I liked the way it emphasized the sky and obscured the foreground. In the each version I worked the underexposed frame from the bracket set I shot for HDR processing. Today I’m sharing two versions of the same image to show how Topaz Clarity and Topaz Restyle can be used to create different feeling images from the same exposure. Spaghetti Junction Sunrise (Topaz Clarity Version)
