I am interested in buying this software. I downloaded the 30 day full access trial and am pleased with its functionallity. I have been mainly playing with "Adjust 5" and "Remask 3".

At $375 the full series is more thsat I'd like to spend.

So I have 2 questions:

Does anyone know if there are any good discounts out there? (I have googled it and the best I've been able to find is a 15% off coupon).

If you had to pick two or three of the best programs, what would they be.

I've also been playing with Topaz a little. I've been buying them individually when on sale. Specials pop up quite often at 50% off. I believe clean is for sale this month. So far I use denoise quite a bit. Once you have one or two they also offer a fairly good discount on the suite.

I will be following this with interest as I also would like to know what others use.

I bought a suite, Topaz 8, last year for under $100. I believe it was on eBay, maybe Amazon. The seller didn't have a box or paperwork, but I was able to register it. The code was on the sleeve.
Perhaps you can do a search for the Topaz Suite and find a similar deal?

OK,

Good advice.

Buy a little and wait for the emails.

I have purchased 3 modules when they were on sale for half price: Simplify in March, Detail in April, Clean in May.

Love, love, love Simplify - for the effects, big-time fun if you like to play and/or were a frustrated painter in a former life :)

Detail was great for a couple of flower close-ups, also has some play.

I should have looked at Clean a little closer as it doesn't seem to have a lot of meat to it.

Indi,

Yes, Ive seen some on EBAY. Don't know if I want to risk a purchase like that.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks,

I also use and really like Topaz products. I have Adjust, Simplify, Detail and DeNoise. Adjust has a noise removal slider that works pretty good so if you don't buy the whole kit you could wait on the DeNoise software.

Thanks so much.

Good tip on the noise function.

Thanks for your take on Clean, Linda. I was about to purchase it, but will move on.

I just clicked on the link and have a really stupid question.
Do you have to have another editing program in order to use the Topaz clean or is it an independent program on it's own?
