Topaz Labs have introduced a brilliant set of Photoshop-friendly 'plug-ins' that are a delight to use. They are simple, direct, effective and intuitive.
Whether you chose vivacity or subtle nuance they offer a variety of methods for self-expression.

The Topaz preview screen is large with good detail and easy navigation. The controls and options are clear and large files can be handled with ease.

Topaz plug-ins are designed to integrate with Photoshop. This facility and ease of use makes masking and blending with alternate versions of the same image (or different images) a great way for exploring ideas, designs and creativity.

Topaz Labs plug-ins are available for both Windows and Mac operating systems including 16bit versions.
