Very Versatile. I own all the Topaz plug-ins and use Clarity and Detail the most and the others as I decide to do other modifications. I also have NIK and it has features that topaz doesn't have
NIK is free and you can download Topaz Plug-ins as a free 30-day trial
I am a Topez Adjust junkie. Recommended

I have all of the Topaz products and find them very useful. Some are helpful in improving the quality of the photo and others for adding special effects. The ones I find I use the most are Adjust, B&W, DeNoise, Detail, Impression, ReStyle and Simplify. The programs can be used together so that you can apply one on top of the other and achieve interesting effects.
Got the Topaz Suite at a Kelby Seminar... Use REMASK 5 everyday in commercial projects, and is amazing for compositing! I recommend the Suite highly and there is excellent training both from Topaz and on YouTube! Good luck!
I like and use Topaz Adjust. You have to try it to see what it could do for your photography.
Be prepared, if you are like me, to modify presets.

I started buying individual filters from them and finally bought the whole package. For what it's worth, what I find most useful (in no particular order) are:
Denoise
Adjust
Clarity
Detail
photoFXlab
and for Black and white:
B&W Effects
Restyle
But I'm mostly interested in realistic images. Topaz has a number of tools that are more useful if you are doing commercial work or have an interest in photo-art.
Here's a summary from Topaz, of their products. I find most of them very useful.
Adjust – Magical contrast, detail, and color adjustments.
B&W Effects -Develop stunning black and white photography.
Clarity – Flawless image definition through intelligent contrast.
Clean – Creative smoothing effects with edge and texture control.
DeJPEG – Increase the image quality of your JPEG photos.
DeNoise – Excels at removing noise while preserving image detail.
Detail – Creative detail enhancement with no halos or artifacts.
Glow – Create vibrant and beautiful images with energetic sparks of neon light.
Impression – Turn your photos into art with real brushstrokes.
InFocus – Sharpen your image by removing shake and motion blur.
Lens Effects – Creative effects derived from real-world lens and filters.
ReMask – The quickest and easiest way to mask your photo.
ReStyle – Over 1000 unique photographic effects.
Simplify – Create art by selectively removing image details.
Star Effects – Add realistic star and lighting effects to your photos.
Texture Effects – Quickly achieve a variety of textured, toned, and lighting effects.

I own the suite, got them all at discount prices, go to their webinars and a discount code is typically distributed. My go to products are 'Adjust, Clarity, DeNoise, Textures, Impressions', The other products are great as well and have used each one at least once. They all play well with Photoshop and Lightroom as plug ins - I would recommend this suite of tools but take the time to learn them from the experts through webinars and YouTube, have some fun.

PlUGINS15 for 15% discount on any of Jixipix stuff. Looks kind of fun.
The NIK collection is free at
https://www.google.com/nikcollection/? Topaz offers webinars where professional photographers demo their products and I think on their site, you can watch past webinars. Good idea to watch these to see if you think you would regularly use them.
...I think I've updated 2 or three times...love Topaz! Great tool(s) for your box...

I use Topaz DeNoise (for removing digital noise) and love it. Easy learning curve. Then for detail recovery I use ON1 Effects 10. Both are easy to learn and use.

Most of the time it does include mac, but they run the range of program types most do some don't include Mac. I typically check reviews to see what is thought abut the programs... also do I need or would I use the program.
