About the Image(s)
Wanted to get fall colors. I tried. The images are HDR with the Drone. Initial image is one of the HDR Images. I combined them in Lightroom then masked in Lightroom. I imported to Topaz Studio 2 and adjusted the image. I used the Style and Impression adjustments on the background to try and make it painterly.

Hi Harley,
My husband likes working with HDR, but he displays then only on his iPad, which is capable of it. Once you convert an HDR to jpeg, and then display it on the PSA site, the image is no longer HDR. I think taking it into Topaz Studio (which I believe converts to TIFF) causes the HDR to be crushed to standard.
In any case, I like the perspective of this image and the compositional elements, namely the diagonal road and the large estate. To my eye, the colors are a bit hot. I liked the house better when it was white rather than the blue cast.
I use Topaz Studio a lot. I find that sometimes turning the effect to, say 40 or 50%, works well. What settings are you using?

Thanks Bunny. Always informative. I was not that methodical. More random settings. The Studio is new to me. It was recently offered for free with Topaz Photo AI early purchasers. It did convert to Tiff. Will have to try the settings. Thanks Again.
