I also have an open ticket on the adjustment re-set button not working correctly (the little circular arrow thingy): make an adjustment, use the re-set, make another adjustment, the re-setter is grayed-out. Yet it can find the server for the textures. No matter what I try, I cannot get Studio to upgrade from v1.0.4 to v1.0.5 (I do have an open ticket on this). Yes it checks to see if there are any new textures for downloading good featureĦ. (I totally un-installed v1.0.3 before getting 1.0.4 installed.) I don't use textures at this time, I have plenty of textures, including Topaz Texture Effects, for the future. Once each day, when I allow Studio to connect to Topaz, it checks to see if there are any new (?) textures to download. )ĭid use it as a standalone software topaz studio and was able to access all the pro adjustment without the internet connectionĭid try it as a plug-in with my host program photoshop CC-17 and did few edits and returned to the host program without any internet connection it did work fine.ĥ. (As a long-time Windows user, I am organically opposed to programs that "phone home" without my permission. Plus, each time Studio is used as a plug-in (instead of stand-alone), it closes when you're done editing, requiring re-connection. This is a pain as I am (1) on a metered internet account, and (2) often in areas where there is either no or very limited and sketchy internet access, sometimes for several days. In order to use the Pro Adjustments, you must allow Topaz Studio to connect to some Topaz server, or else they are grayed-out, unavailable. I tested the Precision Contrast and HSL Color Tuning Pro Adjustments, liked them better than Topaz Clarity, so bought the Pro package.Ĥ. photoFXlab (pFXl) as the plug-in front-end: pFXl has some issues saving TIFFs that are viewable by FastStone (this is my wife's and some friends favorite image viewer/organizer) there are some extra steps to the saving procedure for each edited image, so Studio is much better for me as the host program.ģ. (I haven't tested it yet with, but since all the other plug-ins work fine, I imagine Studio will too.)Ģ. (AP can open ReMask directly, when needed.) So I have Studio configured as a plug-in for AP, and as a helper/editor for both Zoner Photo Studio 18 & FastStone. Studio is a better, faster, front-end for the plug-ins than AP. It works great as a front-end for the plug-ins. As a front-end for the plug-ins (I have the entire suite): while waiting for the photoFXlab update, I tried and then bought Affinity Photo Windows (AP). So what is the take on using Studio as a front end by now compared to just staying with FXLab? Can it lead to better or quicker images? Thank you.ġ.
