I've admired your work for a long time and inspire to some day be (almost) as good as you. Thanks for sharing and keep on snapping

I am wondering if a 2X teleconverter (or other suggestions) will work for me......I am getting mixed reviews.

EBay.......currently at $76 for the entire bundle and fully backed by Topaz Labs including free upgrades

Check out eBay. I purchased the entire suite in June for $140 including shipping. Before ordering I checked with Topaz and they said it was legitimate. It arrived and was easily installed. I sent Topaz all the keys for registration, they acknowledged and I am getting all their upgrades. If the deal is still available the price has probably gone up but is still under $200.....too good to pass up.
PS: just saw it on eBay with a current bid of $76

Thanks, you were a huge help

When I originally posted my question about Topaz I received many informative responses. There was also some concern that I was purchasing from a third party / it was not authentic / would not be supported by Topazlabs. The following is the response I received from Topazlabs when I posed the question to them.

"You are correct. You can download the latest versions of our plug-ins via the downloads page and use the key that should come with the Ebay package. Just make sure that it does indeed include a license key for the software".

The software arrived yesterday (ahead of schedule) and was exactly as advertised. All the Topaz Plugins were included along with "key" for each module. Software was installed / keys were registered and all modules registered as being authentic.

My final price was $120 plus s/h. I am sure that it can be purchased from the seller for less than I paid. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I will forward the info.

If I recall correctly, this shot was taken through a window which might explain the dark area to right of center

This is the first time I have posted to this site......very interested in your thoughts

I'll let you know when it arrives. Hope I'm right

On eBay. I was successful bidder at $120. I probably paid too much. I saw it go for $70 a few days l later. It seems this bidder has more to sell. He says it is Topaz 5 and has the key iincvluded. I checked with Topaz and they say it is eligible for all upgrades even if purchased from a 3rd party......good luck

Appreciate you looking out for me...thanks, again

Bought it on eBay with their guarantee.......I will keep you posted.

Thanks to all who took the time to reply..........you were all helpful.
I just purchased it on eBay for $120 plus s/h for the entire suite .......not a bad deal based on full list or even at 50% off. Looking forward to working with it and posting some of my work.

Thanks. Where did you find that deal ?

Recently downloaded a 30 day free trial of the entire Topaz suite and I have been playing around with all of them. I also use PSE 11 and Picasa. The question is.......do I still need Topaz and if the answer is "yes", then which one would be the best (I want them all, but a little expensive). Thanks
