For those without topaz

Heres a way to create a kind of topazey effect.

1. (new layer) Apply image
2. Go to Filters > Noise > Reduce noise, and play around with the settings
3. (new layer) Apply image
4. Go to Filters > Other > High pass
5. Set layer on soft light
6. Play around with opacity

Hope this helps someone!

Will try this out and see.

The high pass part is used on almost all my photos. Works like a charm!

Yeah I used high pass before I had topaz too, it works well.

Before I had topaz I did smart sharpening. If you sharpen your tag the right way you can give it a topazed effect.

people thought i used topaz whenever i used the high pass filter on my old sigs

Topaz noobs! Topaz is crap :D.

Thanks for zee share I doubt I will ever use it though

Yes that is true, but its also because I hardly ever use PS :P

ignore fur. he doesn't know what he's talking about.
thank you for the share! It would be better if you had the real topaz filter tho because you could actually play around with the effects that topaz vivacity could add.

Fur knows what he's talking about.

People seem to just use the topaz denoise program there is so much more to topaz then just the shitty denoise filter that all the idiots use.
