Topaz????

[Hardrock]

So I use photoshop CS3 and it doesnt seem to do a great job of noise reduction when I shoot a 3200 with my 50D. So IM looking to get Topaz noise reduction 4(whatever there latest version is). It cost $80 dollars and the bundle cost $180. So my question is... Is it worth it for me to get the bundle or just the noise reduction. Also is it necessary to get the bundle if I already have cs3? What can Topaz do that cs3 cant? Thanks!

topaz is pretty much a filter add on. But I love it! Might as well buy the whole thing. $80 just for noise reduction is a rip off. They are just trying to make you think it is a good deal to buy all of them for $180. Also, google Topaz coupon. YOu will see a code to give you 10% off

Regarding noise reduction, even with topaz your picture will soft a little.

Download some of the Topaz trials and find out. I have CS5 and the entire Topaz bundle though I use Noiseware Pro from www.imagenomic.com for most of my de-noise work.
