I went back into some old shots from 2005 and tried a bit of Topaz editing on the original JPEGs I took. Topaz Adjust Portrait Dramatic really seemed to work nicely to pull detail and contrast with out a lot of work. The sun was high and harsh when I was at this spot and I have never been entirely happy with this set of photos. This is one of the better edits I have gotten out of those old images.

A bit oversharpened here but it looks better at higher res without the web sharpening...

Wow! This is gorgeous. I am amazed at the editing. It seems so real - like I can reach out and touch it. Beautiful!

Talk about adding some wow-factor! I think it was a good shot before. I'll have to now try Topaz on some of my Sandia Mountian shots from march.

I think Julie Andrews is atop that mountain singing "The Sound of Music. " :~)

Grand shot. I'd love to see the original of this before Topaz.

Awesome detail in the rock face, especially in the shadow areas. The clouds look a bit artificial to me though. Not sure if it is because they are too white or the sky too blue... Very nice image all in all.
