I had the pleasure of using an advanced copy of Topaz Clarity back in 2013. The latest version is called Clarity in Studio and you can download a free, fully functional trial version and use it for a full 30 days. So, you have nothing to lose by trying it out. I try out a […]

I recently purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud membership. To be honest, I was still pretty darn happy with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3. However, since I write reviews of photo software and make things like Lightroom presets to both give away and sell, it made sense to upgrade for professional reasons. Adobe Cloud – Ideal for […]

I’m not sure if there is photography software that I like as much as the Topaz Labs bundle. Well, besides my forever “can’t live without” it Photoshop of course!

Don’t just take my word for it though. You can download the entire bundle, or just one of the products […]

If you’re looking for a break from those breathless Adobe Photoshop CS6 reviews, you’re not going to find it here. The newest release from the Adobe Creative Suite is just as good as everyone says, improving on features that needed it while leaving the best features alone. Yep, can you imagine that? A release from a computer […]

I know that I have already written a review of Portrait Professional Standard, but I now have a license for the Studio version, which is an upgrade.

I have just finished reading Trick Photography and Special Effects by Evan Sharboneau, and have started the process of watching some of the 9 hours of videos that can be purchased with the book. I am very picky about what I will spend my money on, and highly critical of most Online information products. However, […]

I just downloaded the trial version of Portrait Professional. I love it! I try a lot of different photography software and most of it ends up uninstalled and not purchased, since I usually find that what I already have is better. At this point my entire arsenal of photography software includes: Photoshop CS6 Adobe Illustrator […]
