Ok we all love Topaz but the original idea came from a plugin called lucisart for years this plugin has not really been available to the average user as the cost of it was so high and only really aimed at professionals at several hundred dollars.
Ok Topaz in my opinion and what I have seen seems to do the same thing and has greater control with adjust 5 so possibly even greater than lucis.
However they have a sale on for windows versions it is $279
But they have a fantastic deal on the Mac 32 bit version for only $20 yes that is not a typo it is on offer for $20 I dont know why there is such a great price difference in the sale (lets face it we rarely see windows based machines more expensive than apple apart from microsoft office vs osx).
I honestly would recomend topaz over this due to the fact it offers so much more but if it is only $20 what have you got to loose.
Check it out here I would be interested in seeing a before and after picture using it and then compared to a topaz version so if you have it please do post some results.
