Topaz Studio 2 & Essential Filters (AKA Adjustments)

I use the Topaz Studio 2 package on occasion and I often wonder what each of the Filters actually achieves. 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) that are within the essential category. Stay Tuned as I will update this post with tutorials, and videos as I complete them.
