Since I’ve been using this same plug-in via Photoshop, I can happily report that photoFXlab opens the exact same interface. I started with the first in the list, which is Topaz Adjust: Topaz Adjust 5 opened via photoFXlab Once you have made any adjustments desired in the opening screen, you can open the image in any of the Topaz plug-ins on the left-hand side of the screen. Basic photograph adjustments in Topaz photoFXlab This is a great feature to add for those who don’t own Photoshop or really just want to make minimal photo-adjustments prior to opening an image for editing in one of the plug-ins. There are also some brushes for dodging and burning or smoothing parts of the image as well as some ability to work in layers. On the right-hand-side of the opening screen there are some very basic photo-adjustments such as exposure, contrast, saturation and so forth. If one or more of your versions are not up-to-date the “Start plugin” button will actually prompt you to update. However, if your currently installed versions are not up-to-date you will be prompted to download the updates prior to starting each plug-in. On the left-hand side of the window you will find a list of all the Topaz plug-ins and if you have the bundle, you should already have these installed. Like the plug-ins themselves, the interface is clean, uncluttered and pretty much like the Adobe Lightroom interface. Here is a screen-shot of my photo upon first being opened in the application: Screen-shot of Topaz Labs photoFXlab I’ve been a big fan of the Topaz plug-ins in general for the last few years, so I really loved the idea of a standalone application that could house all of the plug-ins in one interface. I just downloaded the trial version of Topaz Labs photoFXlab.
