That is when you canВ really SEE the difference.

I wasВ until I did a bit of experimenting with both plug-ins вЂ“ separately and in conjunction with each other. There is also a tone section that works on exposure, whites, blacks, contrast, highlights and shadows, along with color adjustments (Cyan-Red, Magenta-Green, Yellow-Blue), and the ability to add grain. Topaz Detail affects small, medium and large amounts of detail in the overall, shadow and highlight areas of the image. This program is best used for Creative and Output Sharpening. uses a unique size based technology to separate your images into multiple detail levels, then individually enhances a particular detail size. There is also a masking feature which is more advanced than the masking features found in Detail. The technology behind this program is different in that you can push the sliders over more without receiving halos or artifacts (just donвЂ™t push them too far!). There is also an HSL tool for Hue, Saturation and Luminosity adjustments. Topaz Clarity intelligently enhances contrast and clarity using a proprietary technology which eliminates the common problem of artifacts and halos.В With Clarity, you can quickly manipulate your micro, midrange and overall contrast without halos or noise, all while maintaining a natural feeling and tonality in your image.

What exactly do the terms clarity, contrast, and sharpening mean and how do they apply to TopazвЂ™s software? The simple answer may leave you scratching your head.В I know it did for me. Simply said вЂ“ Topaz Clarity works with contrast and Topaz Detail is an output sharpener. To get the best results for my photo, should I use Topaz Clarity or DetailвЂ¦or both? IвЂ™ve asked myself this question many times. What is the difference between Topaz Clarity and Topaz Detail?
