Control points in Viveza work differently. Try this and if you have more questions ask. At the top of the panel is a check mark, clicking it on and off will show how the control points have affected your subject. Click on the square again to see you photo with the effect added in. Duplicate one or more of the plus points (toggle at the bottom of the list list) to add to your subject where it greys out. Where the control points have affected things beyond the control points add minus control points to make the mask go black in those areas, no need to resize them. Now click on the square at the extreme right where the list of control points. Add plus points to your subject, each tone requires its own control point, you will see the points added to a list as you add more as you go along, size them by pulling in the handle that appears beside the control points.

Now go down to where it says control points and click on the triangle to the left. On the right hand side use the following settings 25 for detail extractor, 6 for contrast and 6 for saturation. Try this open a photo in Color EFX pro with the filter detail extractor. Would you be willing to edit one of my macro shots using “Color Efex Pro Detail” in order to *show me* how the plug-in could be used to enhance the image? If so, then I’ll make one of the RAW files available for you to download on Dropbox.

I don’t focus stack, probably should, but I would apply it on the final stack after noise reduction. Regarding Color Efex, what is your recommended workflow? How would the workflow change if I were to focus stack a set of macro shots, using Photoshop to do the compositing? Yes but it’s a while back, I will try to find it. Thanks for the tip re: “Viveza.” Have you published a post that shows the before- and after versions of one of your Viveza-ified landscape photos? I just wanted to see whether it’s possible to use the plug-in to produce an acceptably good looking semi-photorealistic HDR turns out it is. I described the composite image as a quick-and-dirty test of “HDR Efex Pro 2,” and it was - I used all the default settings and didn’t tweak anything.
