Studio Magic + Nature's Accents bundle offer...
Mar 27, 2019 08:33:46 #
Good Morning;
I am a senior that got into the "computer age" at an advanced age. While I do have (and use to a degree,) Photoshop and Topaz Studio, my abilities are limited. I received a SPECIAL OFFER of a Studio Magic 1 & 2 + Nature's Accents bundle for $49. (Reasonable for a person in my position..) It is claiming to be 91% off the regular price. (I'm thinking it was PROBABLY the INITIAL price when it first came out, say right after WW1?)
I especially like the fact that one of the things that can be done with this is cutting a subject matter out of a scene, and also the ability to change the background without fooling with layers, cut and paste, etc...
Does any UHH member have experience with any of these softwares? Would they work for someone with limited Graphic experience? (Today is the last day of the offer, so IF I would have to purchase it today.) Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

I have no experience with this software. May I suggest you google reviews and see what comes up. That at least maybe a starting point, since you are under a time constraint.

Thanks.. I did check the reviews (which were all good of course,) but it was the ones with the offer...
Will check Google. Thanks again.

If they do not offer a free trial I would be cautious about sending them money.
Cutting a subject out of a scene and changing backgrounds are two things that are better done using a program with layers. Otherwise the results can look fake.
I recommend you save your money and spend a little time learning how layers work. There are many free tutorials available.

StudioMagic uses Photoshop scripts. I know people who use it to create scenic composites & love it. Some bought it specifically for the reflection feature (similar to Flaming Pear Flood plugin).
Don’t be in a big hurry; sign up for their webinars and you may get even better offers & coupons. They had an outstanding special on Black Friday for a deeply discounted store gift certificate, and there was a similar offer on PhotoWhoa.
I believe you can also use PNGs from other sources in StudioMagic. DealJumbo sells some very inexpensive curated bundles if you subscribe to their newsletter.
Videos for those unfamiliar with StudioMagic.
