Topaz Studio 2 is now released and is $20 off for a limited time.
Differences between Studio 1 versus Studio 2 nd additional information:
1. Pricing change. Instead of paying for each add-on you want to use, Topaz Studio 2 will now be available for a single flat fee of $99.99 that includes all adjustments by default. There will be no free version. If you’ve previously bought Studio adjustments, there is some more information about the free upgrade path towards the end of this email.
2. Full non-destructive layer support. As mentioned before, Topaz Studio 2 now has full layer support– and everything you do is non-destructive. Looks (formerly presets) go on their own layers so you can now mix, match, and stack them. (Apply and Duplicate no longer necessary!)
3. Major UI refresh. Topaz Studio 2 received a major user interface change focused around layers. You can easily drag and drop to rearrange layers, access layer masks, and control blending/opacity. It does look quite different than the current Studio, but we’re confident this new workflow will enable you to work more quickly and easily than before.
- The old Studio 1 .tsp format will no longer be compatible.
- Studio 1 presets will not be compatible at launch, but we will offer a utility to help migrate custom Studio 1 presets into Studio 2.
- Studio 2 will not support plug-ins upon release, but this will be added soon.
- Anyone that currently has Studio 1 downloaded will still be able to use it in addition to Studio 2.
Upgrading from the current Topaz Studio:
- If a user owns Studio adjustments with total list price >$99.99, they'll receive Studio 2 for free.
- If a user owns Studio adjustments with total list price <$99.99, they'll receive store credit for the adjustments they do own.
