I did not realize I would like the results but since it has an interesting artistic appearance applied, it does not matter that I did not use my own equipment for the image. The original image was beautiful and is from a group of photos at Deeezy called 20 Free Photos from Seychelles – I like to practice with some of these free images. That is why I decided to do this quick blog and video. It has a bit of a steep learning curve to figure out what works and what does not when trying to get that creative uncanned look. This is not to say that many of their other plugins, like Topaz Adjust, Black & White Effects, Glow, and Texture Effects are not useful for the creative – they are great but maybe not as unique as the ones I mentioned.ĪI ReMix adjustment fits right into what I like about Topaz products. The products that really are outstanding to me for creativity are: Topaz Studio AI ReMix adjustment, Topaz Studio (and previously Labs) Impression, Topaz Labs ReStyle, and, believe it or not, this wonderful little program no longer marketed called photoFXlab which uses an InstaTone program section (the 500 px and 1X.com do not work, but the other three do so it works just fine) (See my short InstaTone in photoFXlabs – Great Fun and Great Results! blog). Even though I have blogged about Topaz plugins and most recently Studio’s AI Remix adjustment (see What is Topaz AI Remix?), this week I am presenting a short blog and video on how I created this image using some of the Topaz Studio’s and Lab’s plugins.

And, the fun that you started in Lightroom continues in Topaz. Then, access the plug-in by going to Lightroom’s main menu: Photo → Edit In → Topaz Studio 2. How to Access from Lightroom’s Main Menu:Īfter you install Topaz Studio 2, you’ll select an image in Lightroom. Click the preset dropdown menu and choose “save current settings as a new preset” and type the name of your application.Select the Topaz Studio 2 Icon (not the folder!).Under the Additional External Editor Section, under Preset you will select Choose.From the Lightroom menu: Preferences → External Editing.If you don’t see this (don’t worry, I didn’t either) then you’ll connect it directly within Lightroom using the 4 steps below. Open Lightroom and go to the main menu and select: Photo → Edit In → Topaz Studio 2.
