Once you have selected a preset you can make further adjustments to the settings. This is very handy given the huge range of effects that can be created. You can see an example below.Īs well as the predefined effects that ship with program you can also create your own as well as share effects with other Topaz users. Once your image opens in Texture Effects you can select from a large number of predefined effects on the right. I hope so as it’s very easy to use and navigate. This makes me wonder if they will be changing some of their other plug-ins to move to the new design.
The usual features such as the presets browser are all still there. Whilst this is a new program from Topaz, they have improved their existing interface designs. The first thing that struck me on starting the program is the interface has been redesigned and is now clean and modern.
You can download the trial version or take advantage of the introductory discount which is on offer until the 20 th November. If you are interested in trying out program there is a link below. This is a real time saver and I can think of lots of applications, particularly in creating those retro styled images that have become so popular recently. Previously you needed to do a lot of editing with Layers in Photoshop to achieve results like you can with Texture Effects. I think it helps photographers move their work from traditional photography to photographic art.Īs you all know, I like to be lightweight in everything I do and not just camera equipment. The effects are quite similar to those produced with Nik Analog Efex which I love, but I am already preferring the Topaz program. I’m having quite a bit of fun playing around with it as you can see from the images above. This is a new plugin from Topaz that allows you to blend textures with your images as well as add many more effects. Have you seen the new Topaz Texture Effects yet?
