Okay, I'm going in for the purchase on both Topaz Studio 2 and PhotoDonut. I'll let you know what I discover, but it won't be tonight.
#Topaz studio 2 forum software
WellI guess when compared to software directly intended for converting raw files, that is true, but we can open raw files into Studio. I recently attended a Topaz webinar where it was commented that Studio really isn’t a raw converter. I don't have a problem paying for *some* some of the time, but not a fan of being nickled and dimed to death. So far, I’m REALLY liking what I see with Studio 2 (vs Studio 1) and plan to use it more in my workflow. I should have known better with the Topaz reputation.

But as soon as I hit accept in the plugin or external program mode or the Export mode in the stand alone version Topaz 2 crashes.
#Topaz studio 2 forum download
It is confusing because TOPAZ Studio 2 now INCLUDES all the things you all have been buying separately, and then looking at this you *might* be inclined to infer that it, too, is incluided free, but I think I am reading it as "you have access to the shop where you can download some free ones and some you will pay for". I can't get Studio 2 to work as a plugin, external program or even in stand alone mode. " Browse and download from a wide selection of eye-catching photo and artistic effects, brushes and textures.Įverything is free with your purchase of PhotoDonut 2!" Get hooked on the mind-blowing array of image filters, with freerange over the StyleShop’s collection." " A built-in shop available from directly inside the program, filled with eye candy just waiting for you to devour.

Good News! PhotoDonut 2 gets you access to both types of packs!" "There are two types of items in our shop: packs you can download for free, and packs you can buy. I've just checked out PhotoDonut but I think the text is confusing - are all packs free, or what?: I seldom use DAP straight out, but man, it sure makes a huge difference in my work! My few layer tricks seem to work with almost every DAP image overlay (no secret recipes here, I'm happy to share my specific techniques, but maybe we should start a new thread for that (maybe "Post Render Tools and Techniques"?). I use it to create a version that I usually use Layer effects in Photoshop to 'Overlay', fade out, or 'Soft Light', 'Multiply' etc. I'm not sure what you gain or lose between versions, but I use it enough to just keep it up to date without question.
#Topaz studio 2 forum pro
Which version of DAP do you have, I cannot decide if I need the Pro, price wise the home edition suits me much better but if it turns out its too restricted I'd rather get the pro straight off. Thanks for all the info and examples here. S2 can do some useful things but it can also. Yes, Topaz can open some types of raws, but the renderings are decidedly inferior to pretty much everything else. No Topaz product does an acceptable job of converting or developing raw files. I've heard of TOPAZ and I guess I need to get serious about checking it out. If you mean as the primary conversion tool, no. I use Filter Forge A LOT, PhotoLemur some, and also Dynamic Auto Painter (DAP) with Photoshop and LOVE it! These all contribute to my happiness and creativity.
