It is odd when considering the specifications of my machine easily play high end games at over 100fps but cannot handle LR, but this of course is Adobe issue not Topaz.

My issue is that because LR is badly optimised for my machine, I think it is also less than optimal when using the Topaz plugins (for example brush strokes are still laggy like in LR). The application then loads, you make the adjustments in Clarity, B&W or Simplify, hit ok and then it takes you back to LR with a tiff file for you to make further adjustments in LR or allowing the user to export as a JPG (as per typical LR behaviour).Once LR is installed and fired up, you go to right click Edit In> Choose fusionexpress (for Clarity and B&W) or in my case simply also just click Topaz Simplify that’s separate from fusionexpress for some odd reason….You cannot use any Topaz product without LR. Thanks for the swift reply, much appreciated. NOTE: It isn’t a replacement for LR as it doesn’t have a cataloging system.

The best option is to download and try Studio … it has free and paid adjustments and the Studio product itself is free to use and also has RAW conversions. Can I use Clarity and B&W in this ‘new’ Studio? (as well I take it ‘Detail’ should I choose to purchase it)?Īm i gathering that Topaz now has a Studio of it’s own, something separate from LR?Ĭan I use Clarity and B&W in this ‘new’ Studio? (as well I take it ‘Detail’ should I choose to purchase it)?įirstly you have always been able to use Topaz Plugins from LR with Fusion Express as the application to invoke them.Īll Topaz Plugins can be called from Topaz Studio which can be called from LR.Am i gathering that Topaz now has a Studio of it’s own, something separate from LR?.So I’m having to write a post here hoping someone can help shed some light on what my current options are and whether I am barking up the right or wrong tree
#TOPAZ CLARITY AUTO HOW TO#
I find the whole Topaz forums and website a real mess tbh, it is not clear at all what or how to go about implementing any Topaz packages, indeed I recall finding contradictory information months ago when trying to get Clarity and B&W to work in LR… One of the things that has me stuck with Adobe however is the Topaz Plugins, and this morning I was notified by email of the Topaz ‘Detail’ for sale, however I noticed for the first time this mentioning of ‘Studio’.
#TOPAZ CLARITY AUTO SOFTWARE#
It’s put me off from continuing using LR for photo editing, I could save some money by ditching Adobe and using other excellent free software such as RawTherapee. For some strange reason my GPU is supposed to be supported in LR but is not and I have to toggle GPU acceleration off, so the processing is less than optimal (FYI it’s a Nvidia Gforce GTX 960 4gb).

I also have purchased Topaz Clarity and Black & White and enjoy using both. Ok, I am a subscriber to Adobe, paying $14/month for LR and PS.
