Little Church and Topaz Adjust

[Preeb]

I used both Elements and the Topaz Adjust plugin for this. I had a small issue with Topaz. For some reason when I used the Grunge I preset, then brought it back into Elements 10, it lost the noise speckles. Everything else was still as it had been in Topaz. I had to open the Noise Filter in Elements and re-noise it. Here is the before - after. Comments/critiques welcomed.

OK. This is going to sound stupid. You did save it, right???

Yes.... the color and tone modification from Topaz came across, but it reduced the noise almost to zero for some reason. It wasn't a big issue as it was easy to duplicate with the Elements noise filter, but it just seemed odd that after processing in Topaz and then taking it back into Elements, the noise wasn't there any more. I just tried the same thing again and got the same results... there was still some noise, but it had lost it's dramatic effect. I had to go to the noise filter again and change to Gaussian from Uniform and increase the effect.

I really like Topaz, especially Remask but I get frustrated that what I see on my screen is not what I see after the save. I have learned just to save it and see what happens. I don't know why this occurs or the cause of it.
