I have been thinking about getting a detail enhancing software for a while. Using algorithms originally developed by NASA, those software can extract incredible details from dull photos and create unbelievable art effects (a proof that there's a science in art). Some photographers dislike them because the enhanced photos look more like a Norman Rockwell painting than a real photo. However, I think they are incredible creative tools to be added to every photographer's arsenal.Here is a photo "enhanced" using the Topaz Adjust software. I took this photo in a cloudy day so the light was kind of flat. With enhancement the photo looks more exciting. Of course, it's no replacement for good lighting. I don't think I will use it for landscape (which feels too much like cheating), but I think it will be very useful for portrait (which always needs more embellishment) or architecture (which requires more details) types of work . What do you think?
