    Default First Try at Topaz Lens Effects

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This was my first try with the new plug-in from Topaz. It was easy to use and fun. Modifications included; Center Focus; Pinhole, Creative Blur and Fisheye.

    I liked the effect of the flower in glass that this gave. I will be playing with this more, in the near future. Neat program and some awesome effects are possible. I would highly recommend it to those Topaz fans. One of their best. I did this in about 15 minutes after downloading the program.

    Not selling the program, but it is $30 off until 5/27. If you're interested.

    Enjoy!

    Mark, nice effect. I like the perspective and the black bg really sets off the colors. Nice one

    Mark, It looks like a flower in a vase. Neat! I think the black background is a nice choice.

    Mark, I totally agree about the plug-in! When I saw their introductory offer I jumped on it and I really like it a lot.

    You got a great effect here and I really like the perspective and colors. It reminds me of those cool blown glass creations. Good job!

    Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    It isn't perfect, as noted it was my first try at it and I really didn't take the time to fine tune it like I will in the future, but it was fun and I think, as you all noted, the effect is interesting and there are many more options to explore with it.

    Again thanks ... heading for the Cape for the morning Shuttle launch. Back again later.
