I agree...Topaz - Update and upgrade and rerelease Studio 2. I find it is one of the best tools for artists
I have Topaz Studio 2 and love it! I too, wish Topaz would bring it back and update it with the latest tech. Please Topaz. I would definitely buy it.
Thanks Dave. I love these creative tutorials. This one reminds me that there are other looks in Studio 2 that I should play with other than my dozen or so favorites. I will be very upset the day that it won't work for me anymore as I use it all the time. Not aware of anything else that can do what TOPAZ Studio 2 does.
Very useful, Dave, thanks!
YES 🫶 Update Studio 2 😊
Yes, an update would be appreciated
Thanks Dave! I love Topaz Studio 2, it’s a wonderful creative tool! I contacted Topaz directly through my account with them and asked them to continue to support and update Topaz Studio 2 and if you love it consider contacting Topaz directly and let them know.
I love Topaz Studio 2 (and even the original one), wish they would update it. Great editing, always learn something from you
Oh yeah. Please up date.
TS2 is my go-to app for when I want to explore new creative possibilities with an image. I particularly like the "Looks." It's never predictable which will work best and I often enjoy clicking through all of them.
Good one Dave! So similar to iColorama as I have mentioned before. Yes TOPAZ, please consider re-supporting this application! I know you must be watching. : ) Dave, a cool other trick is to create a "raised texture" layer. I am unsure if Topaz Studio 2 has this capability. Then you could put the layer on top of the original abstract with a black mask and just paint in on the areas that you think would e cool to raise. You can do this on the finished project or in lieu of painting back in the original. Just an option as this work you did is super cool. Doing a raised layer selectively can be cool as parts of the image will pop back out at you and show a little more texture. Anyway, you are playing in the area that I have spent a lot of time in. I appreciate you!
Really enjoyed this video. It reminded me of some aspects of Topaz 2 that I had forgotten. It really is a pity that this program is no longer available. I use it a lot and would really appreciate it being supported and updated.
I agree with the other patrons. Great creative toolbox. Topaz, please update Studio 2. I also love using it.
Beautiful Dave! Topaz!!! Studio 2 is an excellent product. I use it almost all the time in my mixed media work. Please, consider an update. I'm ready to pay for the upgrade!
Thanks for another creative toolbox, Dave. Let’s all hope Topaz will update and release studio2. It’s really fantastic and unique.
Thanks again, I love your creative toolbox videos! And Topaz if you are listening, BRING BACK?UPDATE T2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. Yes it needs a new update
I'm another fan of Topaz studio 2. I be glad to see an update and support
Topaz should port Studio 2 to the Chrome Operating System. Allowing it to run on Chromebooks (of which there are zillions) would open up an entirely new market for Topaz and make photo editing available to numerous school children and increasingly others.
I LOVE Topaz studio 2 and have several backups of the program so it won't disappear with a computer crash or something like that! And Topaz if you are listening yes bring it back :)
Yes! Would love to see some updates to it! I use it so often ❤
I agree we would really appreciate an update grade love it
Never heard of it , can you still buy it. I have always wanted a program that you could make photographs look like paintings. Thanks . Good video.
They no longer sell this product. My hope is that they will update it and start to sell it again.
thx Dave :)
Nice.
Thanks Dave. The insect is a Common Blue Butterfly...
Great editing workflow. I’ll definitely give it a try
As usual Dave, really well done. Your devotion to detail and ability to explain all the options in the TK panel is fantastic. Really appreciate you.
Many thanks Dave and Happy Editing!
Very good Dave. Especially the colour filter tip.
Hi Dave and thank you for another great edit. With each episode, I learn more and hopefully get better at processing. Today I have a question concerning automatic selections. In the past, there was always an emphasis on properly feathering a selection. In fact, one of selling features of earlier versions of TK was the fact that selections were correctly feathered by virtue of the math behind, for example, a luminosity mask. Why is it not necessary to feather a selection generated by the quick selection tool?
Thanks Anthony. The Object Selection tool does a really good job most of the time because it is Ai based, especially if you have it set for (Cloud, Detailed Results). If it doesn't give you the selection you want you can use the Select and Mask Feature in Photoshop to refine it.
Thanks, Dave. Times change and PS changes. Its really necessary to stay on top of procedures or post processing gets ruined.
Thanks Dave for this awesome tutorial. I really enjoyed it, especially when you use various tools from the TK9 plugin. I have a question and I want your help. What is the difference between using the multi-mask calculator and the "my channel" option?
You're welcome. Concerning the different calculators in TK9: When you want to work with Masks that you generate from the Multi-Mask Panel I find the My Channels and Multi-Mask Calculator are the way to go. For doing things like working with selections you make on the fly and channels that you have saved in Channels the Layer Mask calculator is the the way to go. I love them both and they are both very useful.
Amazing. Thank you Dave. 👏👏👏
I noticed that you did the clean up last, I'm used to doing it first: is there a reason?
I think either way is fine. For this image I wanted to dive right into the edit, so I saved the cleanup for last.
Sometimes for a Free Hand Vignette I get the selection of the subject from the Mask Calulator then click TK Free Hand Vignette.
Definitely a yawn. They don't stick their tongue out when they roar. Just sayin...
Thanks again Dave for putting this tutorial together…The power of these subtle adjustments when applied collectively produces a superb final product…There’s never not a TK Friday that you don’t provide valuable “take-always and insight”…Have a great weekend!
Great,thank you!❤
Thanks
Excellent Dave i learned a lot
Very informative as always Dave , out of interest what is the main advantage of using the blend if masks at the beginning to work on the background and subject as opposed to just using the colour balance wheel on separate background and subject layers ?
Thank you. By using the the Blend If zones you get more precise adjustments on the various zonal ranges.
Hi Dave. Love this edit! A suggestion and question for you. I'd also remove that vertical grass that is going up the lion to where it meets the shoulder height. Also, I've been trying out Lightroom and as it uses the Pro Photo colour space, when you open an image from Lightroom do you keep that colour space in Photoshop or use Adobe RGB? Thank you.
Thank you. In my original edit I did remove that grass and you are right about removing it. I didn't have enough time in the video edit to remove all of the things I wanted to remove. I do send my images from Lightroom to Photoshop in the Adobe RGB Color space. You can change Lightroom to output in Adobe RGB by going to your Lightroom Preferences/External Editing/Color Space and switch to Adobe RGB if you like.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thanks Dave. I'm using Lightroom desktop/cloud version so that feature doesn't seem available, so I'm using ProPhoto in Photoshop.
Another great video. Did you use the Denoise feature in LR at the beginning?
I did Mark.
Awesome Dave. Wonder if anyone has made a video on Milky Way processing with TK?
Thanks for reminding me to use the color clone, Dave.
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super Thanks. I really appreciate it. Happy Editing!
Another great edit Dave. I learn so much as always, thanks!
That was a wonderful edit Dave. Sometimes I forget the other features on my panel and you just reminded me how to use them effectively. Great stuff man!
Well done Dave. I really like your use of the Color Clone TK Action here. It's quite effective, and in my view, a simpler and faster procedure compared to applying Frequency Separation instead.
Thank you Dave for editing my image. Very impressive, as always. I don't miss any of your TK edits since a long long time, and have improved my workflow to higher level. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Sanjeev and thank you for sharing with us. Happy Editing!
Thank you from Italy!! Grazie!!
