I use the Topaz Studio 2 package on occasion and I often wonder what each of the Filters actually achieve. Not specifically because I don't think they are useful but rather what their function is?
To make life a bit easier for myself, and hopefully for others I have summarized the filters below. These are the Filters (also known as Adjustments in the Topaz Studio 1 package) which are within the essential category. Stay Tuned as I will update this post with tutorials, and videos as I complete them.
