I have been working on few black and white conversions of some recently captured images and was about to prepare a blog post for them, but then I was notified of a cool new photoshop plug-in available from Topaz Labs called Restyle. Here I chose to reduce the opacity significantly so that the rays of light were just becoming visible through the misty conditions of the morning. Since the overlay is on its own layer the Opacity of that layer can be adjusted to taste easily as well. Once the overlay is brought into Photoshop I can easily maneuver the rays around using the Move Tool or the Transform Tool. In the below photograph of a misty morning on Horseshoe Lake near Parry Sound, Ontario I chose to apply the same Light Rays overlay that was used in the Hattie Cove image above. Converting the image to black & white was not my initial intention but I felt it brought the image together for a natural look.

By applying a Light Rays overlay I was able to give the sunburst a more pronounced and dramatic appearance within the scene.

In the fisheye scene above of Hattie Cove on Lake Superior in Ontario’s Pukaskwa National Park I composed the early morning scene to catch a sunburst effect with the fisheye lens. When the right image is chosen to apply one of these overlays the result can be pleasing and not over-the-top in terms of it’s creative effect. I was drawn to the Light Leaks and Light Rays overlays for their effectiveness in regards to enhancing the sun for a “natural” creative look. Recently I was given the opportunity to try some overlays by Sleeklens on my landscape imagery.

Sleeklens Light Rays Overlay Applied for Creative Effect Without question, this ReStyle gets a standing ovation at the curtain call.Hattie Cove on Lake Superior in Ontario’s Pukaskwa National Park This is especially true when you "remaster" both newer and older images.
#TOPAZ RESTYLE OLD VERSION TRIAL#
Download the free trial version and see how many moving images you can create, but be warned: You may lose yourself in the role as you see what you can do with your own images. In other words, you can reproduce what your mind's eye saw when you shot the initial photo.įrom dynamic-lighting effects to delicate tonal tweaking with each well-labeled slider, this plug-in takes you from its first act to the finale, leaving you wanting more. Between the creatively named presets and its ability to mask/select specific photo elements, ReStyle performs well from just the presets, or it can really dig into the role with blended, customized variations that look the part.

From the familiar interface that Topaz fans know, ReStyle does what its name suggests: It allows the user to introduce seemingly limitless combinations of tones and visual styles. ReStyle from Topaz Labs makes its debut to fill that need and set the scene for creating photos with compelling richness and quality. It can make the difference between another nice landscape, skyline, or portrait and one that can hang on a museum wall. Just as in a playhouse that changed its footlights from tungsten to LED to reduce heat and create beautiful environments, digital photos offer richer, clearer, and more dynamic overall image quality however, the control over each facet of the subject's lighting, color, and clarity also needs to improve.
