#Topaz studio review update#

For me it works great as either a nice painterly background for regular portraits or animal images or as a painting starting point as used in the Lily look. The Water Lily image, taken at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, DC, is an example of using the wonderful Impression filter that comes with Topaz Studio 2. But all in all Topaz has been working hard to get this updated software running smoothly. I am really looking forward to being able to add another layer as an image (like the Image Layer filter in the original) – I miss not having this feature. Your own textures can now be added into the Texture filter as in Topaz Studio 1. A Crop/Rotate/Straighten tool has also been added – probably will not use this a lot but sometimes when an image is crooked, it is nice to have. There now is a Navigation Tool on the bottom right toolbar – it is so handy for moving around the image when zoomed way in. (Last week I did a review of the of it – check out my What About This Topaz Studio 2 Update? Not Bad! blog and video.) I imagine that everyone has noticed several small updates came out this week, each adding a couple more features to the interface.
