"I've been using Topaz Adjust/Simplify/Denoise for a few months now and I find that I use either Adjust or Simplify on most of them. I typically use Adjust to add just a bit of extra 'crispness' to an image and I use Simplify to add a painted look. My approach with Simplify is to use it only on parts of the image. I'll often use it as a way of drawing focus to my main subject. Instead of a vignette or shallow DOF, I'll let Simplify de-emphasize certain element, while at the same time making them more interesting. I love what Simplify does with grass, trees and people."
