In addition to being a large format photographer, I also write some reviews of hardware and software as a member of the Alaska Apple Users Group. I've recently written reviews of most of the individual components of the Topaz Labs Plug-in Bundle. I still have a few to complete, but so far, I'm quite pleased. I think that these would be useful for anyone doing their own scanning.

Conflict of interest: I have no financial relationship with Topaz Labs. They did provide a free copy of the software for the purpose of the review.

Here are the links to the reviews.
