Thanks! I'm liking your tug artsy too.

Unless I haven't seen all the tools, Impression needs a healing brush and a sharpening tool, maybe cropping.

It's basic now but I'm sure needed/requested features will be added. My approach right now is to prep the photo in PS (cropping/straightening, tonal correction, cleanup) and use that version to bang out a bunch of different effects in Impression. I then take those back into PS for any additional color correction/compositing.

Same is true for other plug-ins, even when they offer various adjustments and layering effects in-house.

Have they asked for specific comments for Impression on the Topaz site? I didn't see anything on the email I got announcing it.
Oops I went to the site and saw that were comments so I added my suggestions.

They're really good about taking user input so we can expect Impression will get better quickly.

[Richard Lundberg]

BTW, went to your site again ands signed up, which I had been meaning to do.

Thanks!

I emailed Topaz to tell them I wanted the discount for owning the Complete Collection and they gave me an additional 25 bucks off. Within 12 hours. Said it would be credited to my card.
