Benefits of Registering

[Eric Yang]

Please feel free to browse the forums as an unregistered user all you like! However, registering for the forum may make it much easier to find what you're looking for. The signup process takes only a few seconds, and registering also gives you access to all these perks that you otherwise wouldn't have!

Perk 1: Faster searches!

Searching the forum is a quick and easy way to find what you're looking for. However, if you're searching as an unregistered user, the system will ask you to enter a "captcha", or series of letters to make sure that you're human. (This is to prevent robots from doing a bunch of searches and clogging up the server.)

If you're a registered user, you immediately bypass all the captcha requirements and can search by just typing your word into the search box. Brilliant!

Perk 2: Learn technique!

If you contact us from our support page, we love to help you with technical support and customer service and usually reply very promptly! However, we can't teach you or give you personal tutorials on how to do certain things in Photoshop - not because we don't want to, but simply because our in-house support staff doesn't have enough hours in the day.

The forum is another story, though - it's designed to answer all those technique-related questions that you have. How to get a particular effect. How someone post-processed that particular image. Whatever you can think of, chances are that someone's already used Topaz for that purpose and would be glad to share how they did it.

Another section of the forum, the Showoff Spot, is dedicated completely to photographers showing off their images - great for inspiration and getting new ideas!

Perk 3: Win glory (and prizes)!

Our Contests section features constant contests where you stand to win recognition and free prizes from Topaz Labs. Check it out for more!

Posting in the forum is the only way to submit images to our highly-visible User Gallery. Our beta program is also managed through the forum.

We will also be integrating our customer licensing information in the future to give extra perks and recognition to customers who have already purchased our software.

So join the forum - it's free, easy, and fun!
