Free for 30 days. Many tools, including sharpening (!) are extra.

Googling < topaz "supported cameras" > turns up nothing, unless I missed it . . .

Apart from that, Russ, I'm sure Topaz is great, seriously.

Hi, can see where it states 'Each Pro Adjustment comes with 30 days free to try' but not the actual software?
And thanks for at least responding to the post.

Ah, I see, thanks.

Great marketing ploy, then. A bit like ink-jet printers and cartridges.

Yes, and how much are these 'Adjustments'? After a considerable search I did find some prices. As stated, some were free, others were £16-20 and up (and up). It did not strike me as providing anything other than what my current plugins do already.

Topaz is currently discounting the Pro Adjustment Pack through the end of June.

Topaz Studio is a whole new paradigm for them, using a new framework for applying effects rather than trying to support and update 17 different plug-ins. However, those existing plug-ins can be invoked from within Topaz Studio.

PS: Topaz Studio itself is free, along with a number of basic adjustment settings. The Pro Pack extends this capability.

If you already own any Topaz plug-ins, you can access them from within the Studio as a convenience. If you don't, then the Studio is a great way to enter the Topaz world in a different way.

Some fun I had with the basic Studio:

Is it possible to somehow (briefly) compare the Studio/its plug-ins and the 'regular' Topaz stuff -starting from Adjust, Detail and InFocus?

Another stupid question: is there any real difference in usability between Topaz PhotoFxLab as a host program and Studio?
It seems that Topaz is in process of changing its main concept of how we use the plug-ins.

Thanks in advance!
