Have you been formally introduced to Topaz Lens Effects yet? I recently had my introduction and I am more than pleased with the results I am receiving. I formerly thought Lens Effects was for selective blurring and fixing common lens problems like vignetting and aberrations. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is packed tight with effects that are pretty time consuming to conceive on my own, from selective bokeh to cross processing, Lens Effects has it all!
In the tutorial today I shine my light on a couple of effects that I think are extremely powerful for your HDR workflow.
f.64 Academy and f.64 Elite are the brainchildren of Blake Rudis. While he is a landscape photographer, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!

Thanks for the tutorial. With the temporary sale, I’ve been thinking about picking up Lens Effects, mostly for the bokeh and focus placement presets, which aren’t as easy to do in Photoshop or ACR as the cross process and grad filter adjustments are. Was helpful to see an example of how they work. May have to download the trial and take it out for a spin. Thanks.
Glad you got some use out of it. It is a pretty awesome piece of software, especially for someone who may only own photoFXlab. It adds a lot of powerful tools and effects that can be time consuming in PS. Anyway you can speed up your workflow is good right?
