I then duplicated this Layer in Photoshop and named my new layer Topaz Adjust and then went to Filter ► Topaz Labs ► Topaz Adjust, which opened up Topaz Adjust and I then selected an effect called Blue.Īgain, I played around with the effect sliders and once I was happy with my edits, I clicked OK and Topaz Adjust automatically applied my edits to the Photoshop Layer that I had called Topaz Adjust. This is the image after adding Topaz Texture Effects and the image I would use when using Topaz Adjust. When I was happy with my edits I then clicked OK and Topaz Texture Effects saved my effects and automatically applied my edits to my duplicated layer that I had previously renamed Topaz Texture Effects. I clicked on the colour and again using the Pick Screen Colour I picked a colour from the image… as I only wanted this colour to affect a certain part of my image, I selected the Spot Luminosity Mask, inverted the mask and increased the size and the colour range. I then added my own adjustment with a Colour Overlay. Again I didn’t change much with regards to the settings… as I liked the effect it was giving my image.

I then selected the Light Leak Layer and played around with the sliders leaving the actual light leak as the original one selected by the effect. I then selected the Texture Layer and I liked the texture of this effect so I just played around with the Brightness levels and no other settings. I knew I didn’t want to do much to this Layer… basically, I wanted to keep the effect as close to the original settings as possible. My next task was to play around with the sliders in the Basic Adjustment Layer.

From there I clicked on Pick Screen Colour and choose a colour from the image… I then played around the sliders to change the strength size and roundness of the vignette. have been used.įor this particular photograph, I wanted to change the colour of the Vignette so I clicked on the Colour which bought up a colours palette. Once you have clicked on that 3 lined icon you will be taken to a panel which shows you what elements have been applied to that particular effect and what textures, light leaks, etc. And any changes you have made to a particular effect you can save as a new effect for future use! That three lined icon gives you the opportunity to change settings, amend the textures used or add extras to that particular effect to make it your own. A 3 lined icon will appear once you click on that effect.

The versatility of Topaz Texture Effects is brilliant, you can create your own effect or use an effect you have previously saved use an effect that is already installed or an effect that you have downloaded from the Topaz Community… You can use an effect you have saved, a preinstalled effect, or one downloaded from the Community by clicking on the effect. This is how I quickly add Peeling Paint Texture to my images. I then selected Filter ► Topaz Labs ► Topaz Texture Effects. This opened my duplicated layer in Topaz Texture Effects. My first task on my duplicate layer was to rename that layer to Topaz Texture Effects. In Photoshop, I duplicated the background layer by using Control+J as I don’t work on the background layer and I like to do my edits non-destructively. And as I knew I would be doing a couple of different edits to the image, so instead of Lightroom creating multiple files for my edits, I decided to send my image to Photoshop so that I could work on my different edits as layers.
