Very pensive!

Probably thinking about the future.

Hi Hali,

My pleasure!

Good luck with securing a copy of Studio 2. Here is a link to the Topaz: Legacy App Download Area. If you contact Topaz Support, who I've always found to be very helpful and accommodating, they may permit you to purchase a licence?

If it helps, tell them Phil Moore sent you...

(Studio 2 is one of my favourite creative programs - it can do so much more than just framing. I'm really very sorry Topaz decided to discontinue it and I hope that in the future they may reconsider their decision and produce a new version)

I did download it then looked in my password manager. I had this weird entry for "topaz 2" on a whim I tried it and lo and behold I *do* have a Studio 2 license! Ahhhh thethings I will be playing with. I'm not sure I actually ever used it. I did use the original studio with all the plugins and I think I upgraded it but then picked up the Nik software and never installed it. I have had a bad case GAS in my lifetime.

Thanks again for the link!

Hi Hali,

Fantastic! The gist of the settings I used for the frame you liked are shown below (I didn't save the exact values, but you can adjust them to taste).

Once you have something you like save it as a 'Look' - you can then apply the exact same settings again (and, if required, adapt them from there).

Have fun…

Phil

This is an early bloomer, it has been showing off for about a month now.

Just finished thinning out/ processing the (5,400) raw files from our recent visits to Chester Zoo - some images from which may appear in a forum near here in July...

In the meantime, some images taken in our local woods I just found lurking in the RF-S folder...

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop).
