The user interface of the tool is darker than many other similar, but it is pleasing to the eye and has some unique features. The app supports image format association, image format conversion, and streamlined export options. The entire installation procedure is easy and fast, and after the app is deployed on your home or work PC/laptop you can instantly start working on editing your images. Topaz Studio is distributed online via a small internet-enabled package that will download the majority of the app after you start the installation procedure. In addition to the standalone purchase, TopazLabs also offers a unique offer for Creator Bundle, which bundles several of its most popular apps for a lower price. However, you can also test it for free via Trial download. Topaz Studio is a premium app for which you will need to purchase a one-time lifetime license. This means that the tool has built-in support of not only full versions of their famous AI Gigapixel and Sharpen AI tools that can dramatically upscale your small photos without data loss and denoise your blurry pictures, but also many other tools such as Mask AI, Adjust AI, Denoise AI, and others. The app also takes full advantage of other powerful AI and machine learning tools produced by developers at TopazLabs. The app features hundreds of one-click effects, powerful masking and blending tools, automatic lens correction, free adjustment tools, and much more. The creative toolbox of the software is accompanied by the streamlined user interface that features the fast discovery of editing tools, easy access to numerous filters, and easy management of image layers. In addition to being distributed as a standalone photo editing app, the app can also be installed as a plugin for other host applications such as Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, and others. If your workload is already focused on some other photo editing app, Topaz Studio can still help you there. It can manage everything from simple image format conversion to the full-blown photo editing and compositing that is required in professional workloads. With built-in support for modern filters, powerful selection and masking interface, and support for fully non-destructive layers for advanced mixing and matching of filters and adjustments, Topaz Studio can be utilized as the only photo editing app on your home or work PC. By the way it was made clear it will work with Affinity prior to purchase just like Studio 1 that I was using.Topaz Studio is a fully-featured photo editing software aimed to provide both novices and professionals with cutting-edge tools for total image manipulation. Sorry if this sounds negative, just getting really frustrated with it and don’t want to get to 12 months of no use after spending the best part of £100. Can report though online payment for the software went smoothly with no problems though.
Would be great to be able to report it in the forum also with a new thread and a couple of images. Would be good if support could at least say “no it doesn’t work and won’t for the forseable future”. Overall dissapointed, I love the Topaz Studio, would really like to get my Studio 2 to do something.
Also I tried to upload two screenshots, but I get a message saying I’m not allowed to upload images. Would have started this as a new thread, but I don’t even have the facility to start a new thread on the forum, no plus button for me. To be honest pretty disappointed with Topaz, I paid for it but haven’t yet been able to use at all it in the last nine months so even though paid for it am using the old free Studio 1. As I say it isn’t a plugin installation problem as the plugin loads as it should do, but more the plugin itself will not link to its own resources.Īnybody else experience this on the Mac? Managed to solve it? Had much to and fro with support with the final response being that it will be kept open as a support problem nine months ago. It isn’t a plugin installation problem, the plugin loads fine and can use adjustments, so long as they don’t require resources such as textures and brushes. I’m using Affinity Photo, but the Looks, Textures and other resources brushes etc aren’t available in the plugin. I use Studio 1 free, I bought Studio 2 nine months ago for Mac.
