I am a new Topaz user and recently bought the entire suite of products. I’ve been using Topaz Studio to edit my Astrophotos and after I use the Denoise AI plugin the photo returns to Studio but I can’t seem to edit the photo any further. None of the tools does anything to the picture. I’m sure I’m missing something. Any advice?
Please post a screenshot of the effects panel on the RH side, it may well be just the order of the filters and the DeNoise output.

Hey AiDon. Unfortunately the forum won’t let me post a picture in a reply. It lets me upload it to the reply, but when I go to post the reply a window pops up telling me I can’t post a picture???
Here is a link to my Onedrive account. Thanks for your help
I think the system Topaz uses for discussion forums kinda makes you earn the ability to post content by requiring you to post x # of times b4 it enables content uploads… I don’t know what that threshold is.

Thank you Fotomaker. Kinda ridiculous that a photo editing forum won’t let me post a photo after spending $$$ on their software. I have no problem with trust certificates but holding functionality hostage is just plain bad.

As a moderator I have to disagree on that as spamming is a major problem and Topaz don’t provide Admin to monitor 24 hours. But as of now I have provided you with the ability to upload … all you had to do was ask

You seem to have adjusted the sequence of Filters or applied DeNoise as the last step. Just drag the DeNoise output, by hovering the pointer over the 6 dots on the LH side and click, then drag the DeNoise Output to be the the first above the original:
Example:
Proper Sequence:
The reason for this is that there is no concept of creating a Stamped Layer to pass to the plugins so when you invoke a external plugin it will send the original.

Thank You for your help AiDon. Thank you also for allowing me to post pictures. I did not realize spamming was such a problem.
Also, do not post the same comments in more than one post please.
Hello, I just installed the free trials for Studio 2, Denoise AI, Sharpen AI and Mask AI. I can’t seem to use the Denoise, Sharpen & Mask AI’s in Studio 2 as plug-ins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey There
I am very new to Topaz and photo editing in general so I’m not sure I’ll be very helpful. I use Topaz Studio 2 as my primary editor and the plug-ins like Sharpen, Denoise…etc are in the filter tab on the top of the page. I’ll start out in studio and do my editing there and if I want to use a plug-in like Denoise I click the filter tab, choose pulg-ins at the bottom, click the plug-in I wanna use. Topaz opens that plug-in and loads your file. Do what you need to do in the plug-in then click apply. Topaz brings the modified image back to studio.
Not sure how to do it with another program involved but I’m sure it’s similar.
Good Luck
John
