@loziglio69 Hi Marco, Yes you should be able to plug-in to an Italian version of Photoshop. :) Best, Nichole

Sweet

This actually seem like a really good plug-in! Nice demo of it as well; looks like I'll need to add this one to my wish list.

[psychicdisruption]

Just bought and installed it. Gonna have fun!!!

Compatible with Mac?

[riverkestrel1]

I can't wait for this product!  Very exciting. Topaz products are the heart of my workflow and I wouldn't want to be without ANY of them. Thank you Topaz!

[gstelick]

Can't wait to try it out!

[ytmac8]

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! This is a big FAT deal. The other black and white effects out there are quite nice, but quite pricey. I have always been amazed and THANKFUL that such products of EXCELLENCE from Topaz come at such an AFFORDABLE PRICE! Thank you thank you thank you!!

[kevinebrine]

@ytmac8 B&W styler is inexpensive as well..Just FYI :)

[ytmac8]

@kevinebrine Yes, it sure is. I tried out their demo and I DID like what they offered. Just wanted to see if good ol' Topaz was a step up. =)

[kevinebrine]

@ytmac8 I'll be checking it out as well!! Keep clicking :)

[pellepiano]

Looks nice. How about a de-esser for the sound on the video?

[psychicdisruption]

Will it work with Photo Impact? Some Topaz do and some don't.

[topazlabs]

@psychicdisruption B&W Effects will work with Photo Impact. The only program that shouldn't is ReMask, because it has to have a host with layers capabilities.

[psychicdisruption]

@topazlabs Thank you for replying.

[webjamphotography]

Most of my photos end up in B&W so I am supper excited about this addition....thank you so much

[dmlong11]

LOVE IT!!

Same as DKTSONIC, I absolutely love my Silver Efex also, but this product will surely be added to my Topaz collection.The fact that we can work on a specific point is highly interesting

Can't wait to try this

Keep up the good work

[gwpics]

I want it and I want it now! Any idea of price and when?

[topazlabs]

@gwpics Not sure of the exact price, but it will be in our product price range, and it should be out next week! Glad you're excited :) -Nichole

I presently use the Topaz bundle and this looks like an interesting addition. I would suggest that your make adjusting the brush size easier. I press the Alt key while clicking the left mouse button dragging the mouse to adjust the size in Paintshop Pro Photo and this would be a good addition to the program. I look forward to the webinar.

Although I use PSCS5, I will be getting this — mainly because in producing a quarterly in InDesign that's printed in B&W, I have to convert a lot of colour images to B&W, and also improve old B&W photos. PS does fine, but it takes a fair bit of time when I'm working on a lot of images. This well mean less time and a more specific approach! So thanks.

[hiltyd]

Compatible with Aperture?  Lightroom?

[topazlabs]

@hiltyd Yes, B&W Effects is compatible with Aperture and Lightroom.

I happen to think that looks like an amazing product. I own Silver Efex 2 but when you think that this program is probable going to cost about 1/4 of the cost of that one, it sounds not only like a good deal, but a GREAT way of getting people with lower budgets into black and white photography, which by itself is a pretty worthy cause. Good job, Topaz! (btw, I'm a proud owner of Simplify and Clean!)

[georgiesharp]

Looks very exciting!

[georgepahountis]

looks pretty good!

[ishootpeople95070]

Interesting demo' movie which, given this product's concurrent abilities with others - including other Topaz products - what is its pricing and availability?

[topazlabs]

@ishootpeople95070 I'm not sure of the specific price, but it will be consistent with our product price range and we will be offering a significant introductory discount. The scheduled release is sometime next week. :) -Nichole

[dktsonic]

Hi guys, I love Denoise, Detail, inFocus and Clean. I will admit though this product doesn't seem revolutionary, I absolutely love Silver Effex (I know it's pricier), however I will be willing to give this a go. The ability to select an arbitrary point and adjust at will as well as the different film types available to give you tone/shadow responses is what makes silver effex so fantastic. Keep up the good work, and I'll eagerly await it.

Is there anyway to make something similar to vector magic but more realistic like vexel/shell shade?

[luvtodance2]

I agree with Truman Photography. Nice - but in these tough times I would not spend money on this. I think the Topaz plug-ins are amazing and make my life as a conceptual artist so much easier, but these are easy enough to do in PS.

[topazlabs]

Thanks for the feedback! All is appreciated. I do not have the specific price yet, but I can say it will be consistent with our product price range and we will be offering a significant introductory discount. The scheduled release is sometime next week, and we're still developing and enhancing this program as I type. :) -Nichole

[frank392]

nice but is not even close to Silver efex 2 by Nik Software

[dktsonic]

@frank392 I thought 1.0 rocked my world, but when 2.0 came out and had U-point feature, it BLEW MY MIND.

[TrumanPhotography]

If it was Free it would be OK, but every program has this effect - PS, PSP and your very own Topaz Adjust 4 if you know how to use them...

[wyosunshine]

I can't wait to get this product and give it a try! Thank You Topaz Labs!

[bangemout1127]

Very nice. When is it available to the public and how much will it cost?
