Some presets work well for certain exposures, others not so much, but there is inevitably one that will suit most any image as you are given over a thousand to choose from with the ability to completely alter any given preset via the sliders on the left. The colors on the left makeup the tones that will be assigned to your highlights, while moving right, you’ll get into the tones assigned to your midtones, shadows and everything between. The color bands make a lot more sense when you view them as you might a reverse histogram essentially. On the left you have your preset collections, and below, the presets residing in each of those collections.

Have a look at the screen shot below (click to see full screen): All nicely grouped and laid out, but there are quite a few. From there, you’re able to go in a variety of different ways with a few clicks, and herein was the source of my initial feeling of being a bit overwhelmed. In the program, you are able to choose a preset collection, and I did find that the “Landscape” grouping seemed to do better for my landscape images, the “Portrait” better for nicely lit headshots, etc. After you’ve got your filter finely tuned, make sure to save your new filter by clicking the “+” on the bottom left which will let you save your preset to either a preexisting collection, or will allow you to name and add your own. It does this quickly and efficiently in broad chops via the presets, while giving you a scalpel to fine tune how those colors and tones are finalized via the sliders.
Like so many other plugins, ReStyle looks to automate what could take a lot of time in Photoshop if wanting to alter an image by targeting specific colors and tones. If you’ve seen any catalog from Anthropology or Urban Outfitters from the last ten years, you’ll have seen how this aesthetic is used to market to a large and accessible demographic. The cross processed, or vintage looks in digital post processing are very popular, largely because it can help begin to bridge into the design realm, replicating some very marketable styles. Once I started to see the filters this way, it started making a lot more sense to me when previewing the multitude of pre-programed filters and applying a shift in the color processing for any given image I happened to be working on. Think highlights, midtones and shadows instead of pure reds, blues and greens to an extent, and you’ll start to see how this program tends to change how your image looks. These filters re-tone your image by assigning certain colors to certain tonalities in your image. Topaz ReStyle is a program that offers over a thousand filters. Normally $59.99, it is on sale through the end of the month for $39.99.įor those interested in seeing a bit more, and reading about why I’m enjoying it more this time around, come on in…

#TOPAZ RE STYLE HOW TO#
While some were not a great fit for a particular image, I found it kind of tough to really know how to search through the multitude of available tone shifting filters. With an image opened in ReStyle, you’re presented with a ton of re-toning filters which take the existing tones throughout your image, and shift them to produce some very cool effects. Topaz ReStyle is a unique plugin, and I’ll be honest, when first announced a year and a half ago or so, I saw it as kind of kitschy.
