    Default Work Flow Suggestions w/ Detail 2

    I just purchased Detail 2 after trying it for awhile.
    I am impressed with the plugin.

    Here's my work flow and I was wondering if there is a better way.

    Work flow suggestions welcomed.
    I'm using Win 7/64 with CS4 64

    1. Import my RAW file and make necessary adjustments in ACR
    2. Correct CA and Lens Distortions via PTLens
    3. Created a Duplicate Layer and open Topaz Detail
    4. Adjust to taste in Detail and return to CS4
    5. Sharpen a little more, if needed, via Smart Sharpen or Unsharp Mask
    6. Print

    Detail seems to add definition to my photos that wasn't there before.
    I'm very pleased.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    How about opening the RAW as a 16-bit Smart Object in Photoshop and then applying Detail (and/or other Topaz plugins) as a Smart Filter? I've recently started using this workflow.
