![]() ![]() The image below was used in the stand-alone version of Studio – used Topaz ReStyle plugin’s Rusted Gray and Light Blue preset and then the Basic Adjustment. The image above is of the Hillsboro Lighthouse in Broward County, Florida, and used the Recital 001 preset in Topaz Studio. I believe Topaz tried to take some of the best from each of their plug-ins to make editing an image must faster. Each of these adjustments can be duplicated and applied more than once. And in Sharpen, the Lens Deblurring section is very similar to their Infocus plug-in and works wonderfully. Reduce Noise takes some really good info from the Topaz DeNoise program that is so fabulous. It is too bad it is not in the original set as it is a really nice effect. I like the Precision Control Adjustment which is a contrast adder and is a lot like Clarity with the miracle Micro slider and also a pretty nifty Color slider. The Pro Pack has some really handy effects such as: Abstraction, Black and White, Bloom, Color Theme, Dehaze, Edge Exposure, Focal Blue, HSL Color Tuning, Precision Control, Radiance, Reduce Noise, Sharpen, Smudge, and Texture. Definitely take advantage of this trial period to see how you like what Topaz is doing with this program. Each adjustment can be downloaded individually and tried out for 30 days before buying. The Adjustment Pro Pack contains another 14 adjustments to apply more unique effects to the image. ![]() ![]() The adjustments actually look like layers, but you are unable to apply them as a group of layers as in PS, but you can create your own presets to use the same settings over again. The program adjustments work from the top down as opposed to bottom up like Photoshop layers. Sounds a bit like Lightroom or Camera Raw doesn’t it? If you do not own Photoshop or Lightroom or know someone who does not, this is a great way to process RAW files and it is free download. These 10 effects are: Basic Adjustments (similar to photoFXlab Adjustments section), Blurs, Brightness/Contrast, Color Overlay, Dual Tone, Film Grain, Image Layer, Posterize, Tone Curves, and Vignette. But now if a feature is not one you like, it can be deleted from the preset.įor starters, the program offers free adjustments to apply to your images. This is very similar to the original photoFXlab. (The Adjustments applied and saved in a preset are: Basic Adjustment, Precision Contrast, Radiance, Dehaze, Bloom and Posterize, then Reduce Noise and Vignette were applied on a separate layer.) There are also a myriad of presets on the left side that can be selected that contain several adjustments to apply in one click. The London Eye image is an example of combining several of their adjustments to get the final image effect. The heart of the editing lies in the various “adjustments” that are applied individually to create an overall original image effect. JPG, TIFF, and PNG files may also be opened in the program. Studio is a basic RAW editor that contains several features similar to Lightroom or PS Camera Raw. It can be accessed as both a stand-alone program or as a plug-in for Photoshop and Lightroom. Studio acts as a hub for all the programs from Topaz you already own. It appears to be a wonderful upgrade to their original Topaz photoFXlab from several years ago (and which I have always thought was one of their best releases). I am not ready to do a full review so I will just go over what I have learned and pass on a few thoughts. I will keep this link going since Studio has it owns Topaz site. To link to the download, go to my Tidbits Blog sidebar which goes directly to the free download and other info on the different adjustments. As you all know, I am a huge Topaz Labs fan so I have been busily figuring out what can be done with the new Topaz Studio. ![]()
