Recently I think I saw a post about Topaz Studio Free version. Did a search on UHH, the web and the website for Topaz and was unable to find the link.

Maybe I was dreaming, but if the post/link is still available, could it be re-posted?

Thanks

The download is free and the "
Trial" is free, but if you want to keep it and use it, you'll have to pay. I hate seeing "Free Download."

I had a feeling that was the catch. Oh well....

Thanks for the clarification.

I just checked and it looks like Topaz Studio is still free, with 10 free adjustments. Add-on adjustments are $$$.

https://topazlabs.com/studio/
Then click on "What do I get for free?

"10 Free Adjustments
Topaz Studio comes with 10 free adjustments, with more to come in future updates, giving you a fully functional photo processing solution, out of the box, free of charge."

I did the free download and am trying out for 30 days the adjustments that are not free. I like it. "AI Clear" is very good.

Sorry, I misread the previous posting.
Their 10 free adjustments are free. Other Pro Adjustments are not.

Topaz Studio (free to keep) comprises of many presets each of which is customisable.

Of the four screen shots below, the first (top left) is the original as provided by Adobe Stock Photos, the remaining three are random samples from Topaz Studio using the original image as a starter.

If you like working from presets, I believe Topaz Studio beats On1 - 10 and similar into a cocked hat. All these effects can be achieved in Photoshop - perhaps also Elements and several other programs, but far more effort has to be applied.

There is a lot more to the Studio at second glance - cropping, rotating, bring in another image as a layer, "healing" etc.

For a freebe this program is packed with goodies. I do not usually recommend a preset orientated program, but this one is well worth looking at.

It appears to be able to import raw files as well as psd files, and can output Jpg, tiff and png files.

I have not looked at the menu item (Adjustments) which as stated by above posters - some are free whilst others have to be paid for. There is enough in the completely free Studio to keep me amused for a while.
