I accidentally discovered I can get Topaz Studio 2 free because of my "legacy" purchases for Windows, back in 2013 (Simplify, Detail, Clean).
I was able to install the old Topaz Simplify to my new Mac (M1, Big Sur) and it works like a charm as a plug-in to Affinity (as does Studio 2). If you have older Topaz products, check your account before purchasing Studio 2 or other products. Topaz also offered me Adjust AI free, but it's not compatible with Big Sur yet (they're working on it
)
Here is information for Mac users, with the various operating systems and their compatibility:

Good information Linda, I had to pay for mine. With you now having Studio 2
and the NIK collection, I can't wait to see what you can do.

Thank you Jack
I had to let Nik go for now. The free trial was up and there are still a few bugs between it and Affinity and/or the M1 Macs that make me less than enthusiastic to pay.
However, my Windows laptop is gathering dust in a corner, and that - last time I fired it up - still has Elements and Nik. The issue now seems to be more about finding inspiration and creativity
Hey, that's cool! I wish I could do the same. I hesitated when I should have pulled the trigger, and the free stuff was gone overnight!

Hmm, I just did this Tuesday and the message was "because you purchased a legacy product that has been discontinued..."
