Hi Bart
thank you for chiming in.
> So if you do not want the same settings to be used, you always need to first reset all parameters with the reset button.
Also if the sliders show zero, as they do in my posted example? In that case, there would be a difference between the slider display and the actual settings.
I am normally using layers, but for the sake of the experiment, I worked with background only. Should Topaz not work on an image with layers, e.g. other adjustment layer(s) with a basic tone response curve?
Hi Les,
> As I mentioned in my previous post, sometimes it may be confusing, that the initial slider values differ from image to image. I don't remember if all their plugins behave in such a way, but Denoiser for sure.
In Clarity, the zero setting is all sliders on zero, in the middle of the bar, so that's easy enough to see at a glance. (See also on my posted screen shot.)

Today, I can produce exspected behaviour with Clarity! Both with the real image and the target, and measurable on the latter; both on the background layer and a dup, and with a tone curve adjustment layer.
So it seems to have been an accidental failure, even though I tried several times and could reproduce it with the target. Hope it stays away in the future... What puzzles and concerns me is that the sliders showed zero.
Thank you for your interest!
