So far so good, though it’s not as quite as quick as other plug-ins I’ve used.
TOPAZ STAR EFFECTS REVIEW MANUAL
In the left sidebar is a list of preset filter effects, arranged into categories, in the centre is the image you’re working on, and in the right sidebar is a collection of manual adjustment tools. The Topaz B&W interface follows the usual pattern for plug-ins. (There’s an entry for Topaz Labs, and it’s under that – you can get Topaz B&W on its own, but it’s also part of a much larger all-in-one filter collection.) 03 Topaz B&W interface Now you’ll find the Topaz B&W filter on the Elements Filter menu. You’ll need to restart Elements once you’ve done this before it will recognised the new plug-ins. First, you have to open the Preferences > Plug-ins panel, check the ‘Additional Plug-ins Folder’ box and then navigate to the folder quoted in the installation instructions (it depends on whether you’re using a Mac or Windows machine).

TOPAZ STAR EFFECTS REVIEW TRIAL
You simply need to supply an email address so that Topaz can send you a trial licence code. You can download a trial version from if you want to try it out for yourself. I’m going to try it out on this interior shot (below) of Castel Coch in Wales. This isn’t a full, in-depth review, more a quick guide to what it does and what it’s like to use.


I have reviewed Topaz B&W Effects in the past, but it’s been a while since I used it properly, so I’ve downloaded the latest version to give it a quick test. This particular cultivar has been reported by patients to help relaxation and sleep as well as with alleviating stress and ease chronic pain. I admit that Silver Efex Pro, part of the Nik Collection, is my favourite black and white conversion plug-in, but I like to keep an open mind, and I thought it was about time I took a look at some others. 3 out of 5 stars (based on 1 review) Excellent 0.
