It will be a few days before I get around to setting it all up, because I am about to embark on setting up a new computer from scratch (long story).Īt the very least, given my dependence on Topaz, it’s probably time I try Studio. So unless somebody tells me otherwise, I guess I’ll take them up on their “limited time” offer before it expires. The “Clarity Pack” IS a bundle of two packages of Clarity presets (since you say Clarity itself is free, right?). You write: “If you currently own Clarity or Impression, the Studio updated versions are free.” I think that indirectly answers my original question. Nevertheless, thanks to you detailed explanation, I’m willing to give Studio a try, since Topaz has been the center or my post-Lightroom editing process for several years now. But I don’t think I’m anywhere near ready to give up Lightroom as the centerpiece of my personal workflow. If Studio is their way of trying to make the experience from one-to-another more seamless, then I’m all for it. I have noticed over the years that there are a lot of inconsistencies in the interface with different Topaz modules. Thank you, Eleanore, for that detailed and thoughtful reply. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain with this new enterprise. Some amazing things are being churned out by those using it. As users request additional functions that may not have been covered, they are compiled for consideration in future updates. There are still things that I have to fall back to my Editor for but the majority of what I want or need to do can be accomplished in one-stop Studio. Since Studio has come out, I’ve tried to do all my postwork in it.

I also own the Pro adjustments in Studio.

I own the full suite of Topaz plug-ins and fall into the latter category. Some people are only interested in improving what comes out of their camera, Others tend to test the envelope into “art”.

If you currently own Clarity or Impression, the Studio updated versions are free. If more control is desired on any adjustment, the additional capabilities can be purchased (Pro). As new capabilities are added, the adjustments/modules will be able to be purchased.Ĭurrently, Studio is FREE. At some future point, Studio’s goal I believe is for the Standalone to function without the need for another external editor. As updates or new things become available they will be accessed through Studio. Currently, all previously purchased plug-ins can be accessed through Studio.

Topaz is moving into a new direction and new and updated plug-ins will all be accessible through Studio…which can be run as a Standalone or as a Plug-in. The basic premise is that the separate plug-ins were all done at different times, keeping them up-to-date is difficult since their coding may be different. My technical aspect is lacking but I think I can answer you. But, then, I am easily irritated, so don’t listen to me.īut if anybody could please clarify (hah! see what I did there?) what Topaz is offering that would be much appreciated. Topaz has made everything really confusing, and the disappearance of what was once a fairly reliable (if slow) source of tech support is starting to irritate me.

So what am I actually getting for my $34.98 that I don’t already have, and what do I need to run it. Also can’t tell if everything needs to run now through this new “Studio” application. In the shopping cart for “Topaz Clarity Pack” I see “Precision Contrast” and “HSL Color Tuning.” That sounds like preset packs.īut I can’t tell if they are bundling those presets with a purchase of Clarity, which I already own and don’t need to buy again. It LOOKS like what they are offering is a set of presets for Clarity.

Perfectly content with LR and PS plugins. I’m a long time user of “Clarity” (the whole suite, really) and haven’t gotten up to speed with “Topaz Studio” yet. … and I don’t know what the hell they are offering.

“Get the power of Topaz Clarity’s local contrast control, now available from within the free Topaz Studio application! That means Clarity can now be accessed with, or without Photoshop or Lightroom, and runs alongside Topaz Studio’s powerful suite of free adjustments and tools!” I got an email from Topaz offering some kind of special offer re: Clarity: I would pose this question directly to Topaz Support, but the last few times I’ve tried to initiate a support ticket with them I’ve gotten NO REPLY (really frustrating) so I’ll try here instead.
