"Sharpening is one of the hardest things to do well in photo editing.... So I must admit I did not have much expectations for the Vivacity filter....
[But it] allowed me to do what the Unsharp and Smart Sharpening filters in Photoshop could not do - disentangle false edges and smooth out sharpening artifacts and/or photo noise. The final result... is not only cleaner, but smoother. A good shot has been turned into a much better shot - and that is the purpose of sharpening.
Note how important smoothing is to sharpening and the unique styling that Vivacity can bring to an image.... Advantage Vivacity for the fine control it brings to smoothing as well."
"AMAZING product! I spent hours trying to find acceptable noise reduction and sharpening solutions in some of my photos... I found your Topaz Vivacity just in time."
"I downloaded the trial for the Topaz Vivacity and I'm thrilled with it! The cleaning is better than anything I have ever tried, and the sharpening is fantastic. I plan to purchase this filter as soon as my trial runs out. I can't imagine not being without it now. It is the BEST!!"
"I've used both N******** and your plug-in.... Not only does Topaz Vivacity excel at noise reduction, it also includes many more features for the same price. I am very satisfied... [and] will be looking into Topaz Enhance for my video editing."
"I downloaded the trial of your plug-in to try the sharpening. I've used many sharpening methods before and Topaz Vivacity blows all of them away! It almost makes me sick that I've been using worse ways for years.
Although I didn't download it for noise reduction, I tried it out on a few grainy images anyways. I had thought ***** ***** was good, but Vivacity gives me more control over the entire process...
I will be buying soon!"
