There are so brilliant especially Topaz Adjust.
This is one Plugin that I frequently use for some time.

Topaz Adjust is just so perfect to enhance contrast, colors and sharpness. For me, it is easier to get something brighter than Lightroom. Or maybe, i do not know how to use LR at its best ?!

The creator – Topaz Lab, describes this plugin like this :
•Easily correct and balance image exposure and color.
•Enhance dynamic range with adaptive exposure control.
•Quickly create single-image HDR effects.
•Shadow & highlight recovery that reveals lost detail.
•Adaptive color for a wide range of color effects.
•Creative detail enhancement and sharpening.
•Over 30 presets for a faster & more creative workflow

With this software you could control your camera from your Windows computer tethered via USB.
It supports Nikon DSLR as mine D7000 and now I can pull a live view on my computer screen, focus and expose, trigger my shutter remotely.

It just works fine despite i was a bit disappointed about the live view definition on my PC screen. Actually, I think it doesn’t depend on the software features but surely on the DSLR live view capabilities.

I played a bit with digiCamControl today and It does the job. I assume now that it will be better for me to determine my composition perfectly.

DigiCamControl has a stable version 1.0.0 since May 2nd 2013.
