From R to L: Workflow, Adjustment, and Effects menus (not all fully shown) Icons for basic editing tools, the Workflow and Adjustments menus, as well as quick access to the most common adjustments and basic editing workflows are always available. Most of the other tools are shortcuts to basic adjustments, as well as to quick editing workflows for the first basic edits you usually perform. The Effects menu works just like it does in Impression and Texture Effects, providing a list of categories to search for effects, previewing them in the sidebar thumbnails, and providing the customary edit button to enter the editing workspace with the chosen effect. The Workflow menu covers the more common editing methods, such as “Detailed Architecture” or “Perfect Portrait.” The “More” adjustments section contains a separate menu for each adjustment to be added in any order, or to use in addition to a workflow. The features in Topaz Studio emphasize workflow and effects presets constructed from multiple individual adjustments, much like the presets you find in Texture Effects. You can run it as a Smart Filter in Photoshop, or choose Edit In Topaz Studio with Lightroom. It will open your raw files, as well as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF in its standalone version, and acts like a regular plug-in if you invoke it through Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.

It offers neither a browser nor a catalog solution it’s up to you to know where your files are and to manage them. Unlike some popular editing software, Topaz Studio makes no attempt to manage your files. But does it do enough to make me willing to pay for another Topaz venture? Topaz Studio is quite different from the plug-ins-a bit more like the next generation of photoFXlab. As someone who owns the full collection of Topaz plug-ins, I’ve been paying attention mostly to what the Studio does for me that the plug-ins don’t. Like probably most of you, I’ve recently been playing with the Topaz Studio public beta. What the open beta says about the next Topaz product ![]()
