This image has been run through various flavors of Topaz Adjust several times. As best I can remember, it's got "detailed", then it's got "portrait smooth", then it's got "crisp", then it's got "smooth and flat", then it's got Topaz Denoise, then adamus sharpening applied to a merged layer.
The end result is to bring a since of huge, bursting *dimensionality* to the image. I'm not happy with the residual noise/artifcating in the dark areas of the tomato, but on the whole I'm pleased.
Here's the original:

This is cool. It no longer looks like a tomato. Looks like a growing orb. The details and texture on the tomato give the impression of a kind of convergence into the center. Interesting!
What still amazes me about these processing changes,is that there is SO MUCH detail in the images we shoot that doesn't come out until these programs are applied. You can practically take your thumbprint off this image!
:-))
Or Attack of The Killer Tomatoes. Very different look and treatment of an object. Not particularly fearsome, but a wonderfull image that should be given some recognition as such.
