Looking forward to the Webinar today and am leaving work early to attend! Topzz products have actually moved my photography to the next level where I am beginning to sell my photos. I own every product and recommend them everytime any conversation shifts to photo-editing. The support has been amazing over the years; the fantastic webinars are a huge bonus; and of course the free upgrades are deeply appreciated! Thank you for a wonderful product,, always priced fairly, and for being a great group of people to work with.

I can only mirror all that has been said by other users… FREE upgrades is a fabulous offer from you. It will enhance your company immensely over the coming years. I have no doubt that more and more photographers will come to use your plug ins, as they really are a huge boon to us, when editing our photographs. I always praise your software and have happily purchased all the new ones as they become available. I have never been disappointed and your after sales support sets standards that other World Class software companies can only dream about:-)
Thank You Topaz.

The best custom support in the industry and an upgrade policy that is truly unbelievable!
I’ve bought a few of Topaz Labs products, not out of need or want, but simply just to support such a fantastic company.
Keep up the great work, and I wish you much success in the future.

Pleased user – BUT – How soon is soon?
I installed the 30 day trial only to see that it was the 2.0 version (insert rolling eyes – hadn’t payed attention) and once complete my other Topaz products did not function (Remask/BW/Adjust) – I quickly did a system restore..
All is well.

I have been a customer of yours for a few years now and I cannot believe how dedicated your team are to us. Amazing products enabling smooth workflow and much less time wasting, and not forgetting the upgrades.
I think that by giving these lifetime FREE upgrades you stand alone in a jungle that is full of greedy companies continually bringing out upgrades just to line their own pockets, you guys give them freely, amazing, no wonder you have such a following, I am not sure to how many people I have recommended your software too, every one of them has been over the moon when trying going on to buying. Long may you prosper, and thankyou

Anch’io sono una cliente molto soddisfatta dei vostri prodotti, anche se riesco ad usarli in minima parte perchè non conosco l’inglese. Per aumentare le vostre vendite anche in Italia perchè non tradurre i vostri programmi anche in lingua italiana? Sarebbe cosa utile e sicuramente sarebbe un incentivo in più per diffondere il vostro mercato anche nel mio paese.
Grazie per quello che fate e per come lo fate.
Un saluto dall’Italia

Your products and support set the standards other plugins try to meet. This upgrade looks to be another amazing enhancement to the suite!
Your product team stands alone in it’s support, education, and upgrade policy in a small field of competitors – And I really thank Stephanie and Ashley for their webinars, and a big “thank you” to all the working photographers who take time to teach their use and workflows of the products. It is all very helpful!
Best to you all, and I hope your sales keep going up and up!

I have a lot of plug-ins but Topaz Labs is now my favorite & these are the only plug-ins i recommend to my friends. I like very much your attitude. You don’t stop improving your plug-ins & giving free updates without any time frame. Hope that you don’t become very business like the others (selfish) in the future.
Warm regards.

I am constantly impressed by your update programme and this edition of Detail looks like it will not disappoint. Your commitment and loyalty to your customers in providing free upgrades puts you way above the competition in my view. In return I am happy to recommend your products whenever my advice is sought on photo processing software.

Greatly appreciate:
Side by side comparison
Brush/mask to regionally apply effect rather than anticipating this and applying to selections in multiple passes
Instant adjustments before clicking okay (thought it was fast before, but instantaneous is better)
As before ability to apply different controls to small, medium and large before clicking okay – this has saved me from prior laborious multistep process and reworks.

Looks great! I am a long-time user of your Suite and I love your products. I own other plug-ins, but I always keep coming back to Topaz for the best solutions. Love your webinars, too!

Several reasons I went with Topaz, and bought all the aps within a month…
- Works great stand alone and within PS CS6, Elements apps.
- Uses a “better/different” technology to get certain results than those apps, so is very complimentary not parasitic of other apps.
- Free upgrades. Since I bought all you sell, I am dearly hoping that policy stays.
Cheers
