    Default Train Station before and after

    So it's winter and I really want to get the trailer out.
    I've been learning about the various Topaz programs. Very interesting effects.

    Oh wow Chris. That is an amazing effect. I suppose if you were making something for a Stephen King or Alfred Hitchcock movie, that would be the perfect effect. That is cool.

    That is pretty neat, I like the way it even makes the grass look a bit more dead and dreary.

    My Trial Version ran out. It does have some interesting features.

    I really like the altered pic. . . . I like how you took the stuff out of the background . . . gives it a more clean look!!

    It doesn't look like they do video but it never hurts to ask. Email them and see if they have anything in the works.
    The various programs are not expensive and they have some great effects. One of my customers saw this photo on my website, so this summer we are taking his 1960 red MGA to the station and will see what we get with that.

    It's a slow time for us right now so instead of dreaming about camping and summer I have been backing up files and trying new things.
    Check out my studio website http://www.chrispurves.ca
    it's still in the test stage but I think I am going to keep this one. I like the way it looks and have had lots of good comments from customers.

    Cheers
    Chris

    Dan, here are two sites:

    http://www.toolfarm.com
    Lots of nice features but high prices. Might be worth checking out. They do have some offers for under 99 dollars.

    The other I was thinking of is:
    http://www.mediachance.com/video/index.html
    More reasonably priced and they seem to give a lot of features and value for the money. I've made many purchases from Mediachance and have always been very satisfied with them - both the company and the products.

    Hope this information is of some help, but I'll keep on looking for the specific program you want.
