which plugin is that? Topaz? for Photoshop, Aperture or Lightroom? is it free? can you provide a link?

I really like the houses too. Makes the bricks look very contrasty.

Thanks for the replies. I used Topaz Adjust for Photoshop.

You can get it for PC or MAC here: Topaz Labs Store for $50.00

Edit:
*** I just found this: use the coupon code NEWADJUST to get 20% off Topaz Adjust ***

Thanks for the comments.

Being very new at this, it is really encouraging to hear kind words from much more experienced people.
