If that is not the case then someone please explain it in clear language.Īnd, if you read the email, Clarity for Studio is a free upgrade if you already own Topaz Clarity … quoted directly from the email: This needs real clarification - what the moderator appears to be saying is that there will be no updates available any longer UNLESS we use Studio and pay approximately $35 for an update. Topaz has always had updates to the products I have purchased. What is this all about? Are we no longer going to get updates to our plug-ins that we access directly from PS (or LR, or whatever others use)? I don’t want to always have my Smart Object workflow impeded with my use of Topaz Studio, nor do I want the extra step of first entering Studio when all I want is to run Clarity. There IS a reason (for editability, among other things), to want to run the plug-ins separately. If that’s all there is to it, why on earth would I want this delivered to me this way? I’ll continue to go straight to the actual plug-in if I have nothing more than this, and wonder why it’s going to be more difficult for me to use Topaz plug-ins separately in my PS workflow. Instead, I get the non-pro version with a few Presets and one Opacity slider. However, the email sounded like I would now “own” those other two adjustments, as if they were the same as Basic, with all the sliders. I had to shut everything down and restart to get it all recognized, but when I came in through PS, using Topaz> Studio> Clarity, I immediately opened with Basic Adjustment, Precision Contrast, and HSL Color Tuning loaded. I’ve got the entire Topaz Suite, and my plug-ins were validated in Studio after running the update. I went through all the steps outlined according to the email. In the example below the main subject again is the fishing pier, but the plug-in also enhanced the mountains in the background to a degree that takes focus away from the pier.I’m finding this really confusing, too. Similar results can be achieved in Photoshop without the Topaz plug-in, but it takes much more time and effort, and one loses the advantage of the many presets of the plug-in, which allows for a quick try-out and comparison of the many different effects.Īn added benefit of suing the plug-in from within Photoshop is that one can use layer masks to tone down the effect in some areas of the photo. We in particular like how the twigs stand out and light up in the image above after Clarity has done its work.īefore use of Clarity (click to enlarge and compare) The subject here is a fishing pier at Saguaro Lake, Arizona: At a recent shoot late in the day of a back lit scene Topaz Clarity was also able to enhance the images quite some just by using one of its presets. You don't need red rock or other colorful subjects to benefit from the Clarity plug-in.
