Topaz Labs has released Version 2 of the Topaz Detail Photoshop plug-in, featuring a user-requested speed boost, a totally redesigned user interface, and more detail enhancement tools and presets.
“It represents a huge advancement in both technology and product usability and is sure to greatly enhance any photographer’s workflow.†says Dr. Albert Yang, president of Topaz Labs. “Since the release of Detail 1, users have responded with overwhelming feedback about the unique capabilities of this new technology. However, many customers felt that it was too slow. In this new release, we were able to push the technology further and triple the speed of the program.â€
Dr. Yang adds that Topaz Detail’s underlying algorithm provides the unique ability to enhance detail and micro-contrast, with no over-sharpening, edge artifacts or halos, which often occur with other sharpening tools. Topaz Detail features three levels of detail control, high-quality image sharpening, natural feature enhancement, and black and white conversion.
