it basically depends on the image that ur using

i mostly use topaz clean

DeNoise is awesome for like a grainy stock/render
topaz sharpen is a good one too
and ive never trued the enlarge/2x option yet

just run topaz clean after your done with your tag and maybe sharpen to support depth or so .. 2x is used to enlarge pictures that are small with less quality loss that what would photoshop cause ...

but remember DONT over use topaz or your work will look too artificial which is a bad thing.

I normally just Topaz Clean my stocks before I start, then put that layer on 30-50%. That way it's not overboard. If you want your effects to look topaz'd, then just topaz clean it again after you add effects, and erase the focal.

He means it's been whored way too much and can often make good tags look like crap.

Remember, use in moderation :)

Don't use it. It's not that hard to understand?!

Just don't use Topaz at all.. You fuck up all the signatures by making them so "clean" and shit.
Your just oversharpening them and making them look bad.

But hey, try if you want to.

Google, Topaz Vivacity.
