The modules themselves are streamlined for quicker and easier adjustments. As requested, both the navigator window and the buttons are larger and easier to view. New User Interface– We are premiering a brand new user interface that is more intuitive, polished, and user friendly.

In addition, there is a separate mask for the Clarity module and the HSL module, which allows for much greater control of adjustment areas in your image. You also have the option of choosing a gradient mask that includes linear, radial, and reflected types of gradients. You now have the ability to feather the mask and control the color range. Clarity offers three different types of brushes normal, edge aware, and the new color aware. It works by breaking your image into 8 different colors, giving maximum control over the colors in your image.Īdvanced Masking Technology– We have incorporated several new features in the masking module to allow for more precise masking. The HSL module allows you to selectively enhance specific colors in your image. HSL Module– Topaz Clarity is the first to use a quality enhancement method in the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance adjustment module, which can produce strong adjustments with much less artifacts and noise. It includes black, white, and mid-tone sliders that can bring back details in the shadows and highlights that would normally be lost with high contrast adjustments. The Tone section gives you the ability to adjust the tone levels to retain a high range of tones in your image. The highlight of this module is the ability to adjust mid-tone contrast quickly and easily, something that would normally take many steps to achieve. The contrast sliders range from micro to high, and refer to the original image contrast variations allowing you to increase or decrease the contrast in that specific variation. Here is a breakdown from Topaz Labs of the different modules inside Clarity and what they do:Ĭlarity Module- The Dynamics section of this module allows you to selectively adjust contrast in your image, without adding halos or artifacts, resulting in a very natural looking, yet compelling image.
