Topaz question

[Marieke]

My 30 day trial of Topaz expired :( I tried to install another trial version, but it won't work... Is there a way to escape it? Or do I need to buy it? :ninja:

[Hootnnuts]

not a place to talk about getting programs for free. but btw wat is topaz?

Ok, sorry, topic closed :sweat:
(topaz is a PS plugin to clean/sharp tags)

[Ralic]

Its a custom filter i think

EDIT: Beat me :P

[xcine]

She wasn't asking for Warez :P She was asking if there was a legal way to get it free, weren't you? ;)

Anyways, they say that you can email them if for any reason you need to extend your trial period but I'm not sure if they would be willing to do that or how often they actually do it. You'll probably need to buy it. But, lemme PM you. ;)

Anyways, this topic can stay open.. if you all wanna like discuss how good topaz is/if it should be used etc. ;)

[athma]

yeah... i need that too.. and i got a crack one, but it wont work if the trial is dead... instead of getting clean/sharp it will makes ur tags blurry as hell.. ^^ so, i still wait for another crack topaz that worked

[Aloe]

Dont talk about the crack guys.. ;).. Dont discuss warez ^_^

[Thrasher]

I never used Topaz and i have seen the effects of it and it's cool but it's not like superb imo :)

[athma]

oooppsss... sorry sis... ^^

[Aloe]

I only use topaz to fix up some crappy photos.. :).. I barely use it in my sigs :)

[Thrasher]

Doesn't it slows photoshop down???

[Ralic]

Thats what i heard :P

[Thrasher]

Yeah same here and i really don't want my photoshop being slowed down :/

[Ralic]

Well if it does slow PS down, remove it ;)

[xcine]

Doesn't really slow PS imo, although I haven't got it installed at the moment. xD
It didn't before.

Same with me athma :/

IMO Topaz is very whored. Your better without it I think :)

[.GJ]

i agree with that but sometimes it can come in very handy.. not to make the "topaz effect which was whore out ages ago" but for touching images up like it was made for

[.Nitrate.]

Hmm, you have a good point GrantJohno. But is that really worth the money my friend? If you want a new filter IMO you want to use it to its max and flaunt it, can't do that with Topaz now.

Its cool but I wish it was freeware, I'm not going to pay for it..

[.GJ]

yeh but then that filter will get whored out aswell if you use it to the max..so you cant win either way really.
Topaz is probally one of the best filters for sigs atm i think but no i wouldn't buy it but would consider it when i have abit more money to flaunt.
Does anybody else know of any other good filters?

[.Nitrate.]

I don't really know any other good ones, they look really cheesy.

[chrissk84]

Aw too bad it ran out cause it sounds really good.

*cough* airsirus

yessir veerrry whored, reduce noise and sharpen edges are all you need

[muse]

lol, i <3 topaz :o

and i have found a way around it, though using it the 'normal' way makes your sigs blurry, you have to use different settings, and it works perfectly :P

yurp =]

[unless my recent tags looked fucked (topaz-wise) to you :P]

[xcine]

Hahah, no they do not. They looked like they should when you're still using the trial :P
Share good settings? :( I'm too lazy to play and figure some out x___x

that's really nice.

So you just changed settings and stuff to get the really good pics?

Wanna share? XD

[muse]

lolz, ill screenshot what i use tomorrow and share it all [im not on a computer with ps on atm =X]

[xcine]

:wub: Thanks Sameer.

Anyways, yeah.. topaz is whored quite a lot but it's extremely helpful sometimes as well. As long as it's used correctly, and not completely OTT I see no problem with it.

If anyone wants a copy of Topaz send me a PM and I will link you up.

[muse]

No worries, i hope these settings work for everyone, i guess it depends how you unlocked your version =/

[xcine]

Hmm, I guess that might be a problem :/
We'll see what happens though xD

[.GJ]

yeh well i wil also try this out when i can :) Thanks muse :)

[xcine]

Sameer, those settings are really helpful. :) They do work, although I did change them ever so slightly to alter the effect I got. :P Thanks :D

[muse]

Woo! Glad they worked :D

[Marieke]

:o thnx muse, I'm gonna try it asap! :D

I love topaz, not to create effects in sigs, but to clean up some images, very handy ^^

[.GJ]
