I'll say this again.

Many people cannot afford Topaz. All Photoshoppers, IMO, need to learn how to use the native PS tools to get the best results they can. If you look at the render I made, it does not have all the imperfections you are pointing out Tom. I can see some cleanup that needs to be done with some of the white within the headdress, and I thought egosbar's render was pretty darn good, even if he overlooked the grass BG showing through in a couple spots.

I'm not putting down Topaz plugins. They do some great things, though I think there is quite a learning curve, but what difference to people who have climbed their way up the PS ladder of learning . . .

Just my two cents for Photoshop basics. Learn 'em first, then tackle the ancillaries.
