Love doll photography? Check out Topaz!

All Glamour Sydney Chase Deluxe Basic by Tonner Doll, click to enlarge.

My favorite little plug-in on the market is Topaz Adjust. I love this software! It helps pop my photos' contrast in a way that's smart and fun. I'm seriously a dummy photographer: if it's not easy to do, I won't do it. If it's not fast, I won't use it. Topaz solves these problems!

Through the end of September, when you use the code septadjust, you can get Adjust 5 for $24.99 instead of the $49.99 retail price. You can also try it for free for up to 30 days to see if you like it.

I use it as a plug-in to Adobe Elements (both Mac and Windows compatible), but it also works with the following programs:

• Photoshop
• Lightroom
• Aperture
• iPhoto (hmm--I should probably also install it here!)
• PaintShop Pro
• Serif Photo Plus
• Irfanview

I can even install it myself, without the assistance of my personal (computer) administrator. I'd also recommend you try out Star Effects and some of the other plug-ins. They are very fun, and dare I say, addicting!

I've taken a sample of how I personally use Topaz Adjust. Click on the photo for a larger version. On the left, you can see the original version of Sydney. It's not an awful photo; it simply feels a little drab.

The center photo is a result of a single click on the "I feel lucky" button. It's such a cool feature, and it gives you a finished artsy photo with a single click--perfect for those really lazy days. And come on, I must not be the only one to have days like this!

The last photo is one where I actually spent three minutes editing contrast, detail, and color. Plus I added a frame and vignette. Doesn't that one look absolutely spectacular when compared with the original? If I can spend three minutes and get that kind of result, why wouldn't I? I have no excuse. I think I'll go install Topaz in iPhoto now as well!

Go download a free trial--there's no reason not to try it out. I'd love to hear what you think!

New items from Barbie

The Dolls of the World collection dolls are now in stock, with another--Hawaii--on the way in the middle of June. The Doll Genie currently has the collection of the four in-stock Passport Dolls of the World (Australia, Ireland, China and Argentina) on special for $99.95. These dolls retail for $29.95 each.

Additionally, you can find a new Dolls of the World Mexico, India, Holland and Chile, which will be in stock soon. Currently, they have just arrived at Barbie Collector, and should be arriving at your favorite Barbie dealer as well.

Each Passport doll includes a passport, special pet, country stickers and brush.

A quick note about the Doll Genie: If you're a contemporary Barbie collector, you should definitely consider becoming a Magic Carpet Club member. There are lots of fun benefits, including special sales, secret points (which are addicting), monthly raffles, dented box sales, and lots more fun stuff. They have their own message board, get sneak peeks on new dolls, can get free shipping on special days (I just won free shipping today!), and win extra prizes. It's kind of a fun little perk!
