Tricolor Splash

CS4/Topaz Clean2
Topaz Clean2 smooths, yet preserves details in images. It seems to work especially well with liquids, like the splash of a tricolored heron going after a small fish.
comments and critique welcomed. ~Bill

Very nice Splash Bill! I really like this Topaz plugin! Does this plugin work with CS3? I looked at the www but couldn't find this info.

[WIlliam Maroldo]

Dan: Probably works with CS3, but I don't really know. You could download a fully functional 30day trial from Topazlabs.com and find out though. ~Bill

Holy moly! THis is great Sir William. I wish only for a little more room behind. And crop a bit from above, but those are subjective anyway.

I love the TOPAZ treatment very much! :)

[WIlliam Maroldo]

Thanks Akos. I don't think your cropping suggestions are as subjective as you might suppose. I thought of more room behind, but it would have been at the expense of part of the splash. As far as cropping goes I always try to maintain a 3/2 ratio. regards~Bill

Bill, Wow!! I love this!! The splash is sort of surreal, I love the way it's just hanging in mid-air!! The treatment is done very well as always. I do agree w/ a bit off the top and a bit extra in the rear-but do understand your constraints, and would not want to lose any of the splash:)

I'm impressed by Topaz Clean2 as to how it can smooth out feathers, water, etc. and if don't ever so slight make such a wonderful subtle difference. Well done.

Another good one Bill, I really like the effect you are getting with Topaz. The splaxh is pretty cool too. Thanks for posting the specs.
