The filters are broken down into three sections: Essential, Creative, and Stylistic. I have always felt that Topaz has the best masking tools of any program (runs much smoother than Lightroom’s brush), and they are promising more improvements in this area shortly. The masking tools are much smoother and better than ever.Shortly Topaz will be connecting up all your original plug-ins into the interface. Other filters that are provided: Impression (another fabulous totally unique program by Topaz – no one else has anything like it), AI ReMix (another totally unique filter), Precision Contrast, Texture, Glow, Motion Blurs (one of my favorites – get some really unique effects with it), and Color Theme (which allows you to change 5 major colors in the image) along with all the standard filters one would expect with this program.AI Clear is still in the program! Definitely one of my top 5 plugins ever! (And that is saying something for me!) In my opinion, used with Precision Detail (which is also included in the program), they create the most incredible detail.They now have official Effect Layers in the program and no longer is an Apply button needed before you add other filters! Best news and brings Studio 2 up to date with all the other big guys out there.Otherwise there is now just a one time payment and Topaz Studio 2 will contain all the filters that were available in the original Topaz Studio, which as I see it, is a good deal anyway you do it.

So lets get started and dive deeper into what is going on with this software update.

They now have a much better way of adding filters – no more Apply step – just filters stacking as Effect Layers, a lot like the other plug-ins have begun doing. I have been spending my time just getting up to speed on what they have changed in the interface. But having worked with the program on a few images, it is really good and a much needed update. Since I have always been a huge Topaz fan, I knew this would be a good update, and to be honest, when I first heard about it I had my doubts.

Well I missed last week due to some traveling and it was a busy one for Topaz (see my Tidbits Blog sidebar for website link). WHAT ABOUT THIS TOPAZ STUDIO 2 UPDATE? NOT BAD!
