Quoting from your blog: “by making use of your graphic card’s potential with OpenGL technology. Regrettably, ”
In my humble opinion, this is not improving the user experience, but forcing many to go out and buy a new computer at twice what a computer/laptop with an integrated graphic’s card costs and all software is doing it and it makes me mad. I will not be upgrading to Photoshop 6. I upgraded my Color Efex Pro 4 before I realized the issues. I just downloaded a free plugin from OnOne and to run it takes OpenGL and 8 Gbs RAM. None of my computers has both!

I was just wondering if anyone was having the same problem I was having. I am using it through Elements 9, I did register my email address and sometimes it will say it cannot verufy my email, other times it lets me on then closes. When I get the it cannot verify my email and I click on yes to go to the site, I get a security alert on my computer. I was wondering if these were the bugs you had that delayed the release. I am patient…promise. FXLab is an awesome product when it does what it is suppose to do. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issues. I do intend to purchase the product when I get comfy with it and what it can do as a stand alone. Thanks for a great product.

Great! You should be releasing this by now. You said it was due at the end of the week, last week. What’s the hold up?

I own the Topaz Bundle plug-in with Photoshop CS5, love it!

I too was confirmed and got the “Room too Full”
Due to slow net connection watching video is not possible for me. Maybe more webinars, which have worked well for me, will be offered before the introductory price option goes away. Plus .. I wanna chance to win it FREE!
TOPAZ – Please change color or tone of sliders so they contrast against the nice dark grey background. Now they are VERY hard to see on my large 30″ Dell monitor with my less than best focusing old man eyes. I see I’m not alone complaining about this.

I discovered Topaz by accident on Adobe’s suggested plug-ins list. I’ve played with Reindeer Graphics Convolution Matrix with good results. I was surprised to find bundles of preset deconvolution plug-in software aimed at photographers.
I’m currently using the full collection on free trial. Will the full bundle + FXlab = $330 ?

This may be a duplicate comment; I tried one earlier that may have gone through.
This is fabulous!!! I have been frustrated by the time-consuming need to toggle back and forth between PS or Lightroom to layer on plugin effects. (Nik had done a better job of letting you “apply” as you went along within one of their plugin apps.) But, this new lab looks fabulous. I love your plugins and really appreciate your sensitivity to work flow AND time!

Wow….just in time. What is the cost and when is the release date?
This should work well with the new Photoshop 6 release.

I love shooting landscape and architecture. Topaz Adjust is my favorite to use when editing photos.

I have all the Topaz products and can hardly wait for this new one… Looking forward to giving it a workout… The link in the webinar sent me to the wrong page to join all those who want to be notified of the release… Thanks for the preview…

Love all the Topaz programs: However the sliders gray on black are practically invisible and create frustration trying to “locate” them. Also hope there will be an upgrade price for those of us who have most of the Topaz programs.

Like Keith I reserved for the webinar but got a “webinar full” message although I loged in 5 minutes before the start time.

I have all the Topaz plugins & I use them all from within Aperture without any problems. There already is an “Aperture plugin” through the Fusion Express. I’m anxious to see what this new interface will do. I reserved a depot for the webinar but could not log in because it was full! I guess Topaz Labs overbooks just like the airlines! I’m disappointed I did not get to see the demonstration because I cleared my whole work schedule for it.

I already own the full bundle of Topaz plug-ins. I sure hope Topaz sends a code to current loyal owners of multiple Topaz plug-ins, good for a significant discount toward Topaz PhotoFXLab!

I already have a TOPAZ BUNDLE. Is this a FREE addition to my my BUNDLE.? How would I , and others , know? Thanks.

Brilliant piece of software!
I use several different photo software to open your Topaz plug-ins which can be annoying?
This piece of software as well as being made by Topaz where I purchased the plug-ins complete package from. I guess can use them all under one photo program now Photo FX Lab
Looking forward to the release as all your plug-ins are brilliant and I know your new product Photo FX Lab will be the same

I do alot a model portfollio work for start up and veteran models.I have the complete set of topaz and I use them alot, they are great. This would make the job easier any idea of price yet.

Tempted to say: Finally!
I’m an Aperture user and what a waste of time to get in and out the different plugins. I’m spending easily in 50% of my time just waiting for the plugin to start and going from plugin to plugin…

I was just about to buy DeNoise, is there any pricing yet on this?
Will there be bundle discounts for current owners of multiple plugins?
Looks great!

Excellent, every new application coming from Topaz is always well come.

So this is a stand alone program? Don’t have to use photoshop with the plug ins? How much?

Es hört sich richtig toll an. Da ich vielen Plugins aus diesem Hause hier nutze, wäre es optimal. wenn im Vorfeld gezeigt wird, wie welcher Filter welches Ergebnis erzeugt.
Auch die Möglichkeit einzelne grundlegende Werte schnell zu ändern, ist eine Gute Sache.
Ich hoffe auch,dass es nicht zu teuer wird. Es wäre auf jeden Fall eine sinnvolle Ergänzung

I’m looking forward to trying it out. If it is as good as the other Topazlabs plugins, it should be fabulous!

Looks like it will be another great product as usual and can’t wait to get my hands on it!
But i must comment on the UI design of the control panels. I know dark gray to black is the hot new look, but the slider controls are near invisible! The only thing that delineates the shape to grab and slide is a thin line a few pixels wide. Maybe this is just a screen grab image? Are they ‘scrubby’ controllable too?

This new addition to the Topaz line of filter looks like a great way to coordinate all the Topaz filters into a seamless work flow. I am looking forward to it’s release.

Yes, a plugin version for Aperture would be brilliant. I use Aperture to manage my workflow entirely, and use Fusion to access the Topaz plugins now. However, this new tool looks like a much better way to access them all, I sometimes do find myself moving through two or three different plugins on one photo, and it’s quite a cumbersome task at the moment.
As a ‘hobbyist’, I’m just hoping that it’s not too expensive, but I am looking forward to seeing what this can do if it works as well as the rest of it.
