![]() Otherwise, I like the concept and the layout, as I have all of Topaz' plug-ins, and it's sometimes time consuming to apply more than one to an image. Topaz has also initiated a new registration scheme. Instead of getting a serial number to activate the program, you must create an "account" and register your newly-installed copy over the internet. When you run the program thereafter, if connected, the application checks Topaz' server to validate registration. If not connected, you must re-enter your "account" information to use the program or plug-in. ![]() In response to my inquiry, Topaz said, "You will need internet access to initially register your computer. After that initial registration you should be able to enter in your email address to the program, and it will recognize you as a current user. And then if you go 'over' that limit, it will uninstall it from the first registered." You are able to put this on 3 PCS and 3 MACS, so that is up to 6 computers. Seems like a very liberal policy, and probably in response to people abusing Topaz' earlier activation scheme by passing around serial numbers. I only have two of Topaz's plugins, and this module seems to me to be more of a marketing ploy, as you get previews of all the plugins, but only can use the ones you own. If I had purchased their bundle of plugins it might be OK. Either way, it's a piece of software they should give away for free. (2) copies tone curves from another image (InstaTone™) I had a hard time figuring out exactly what this software was for. (3) is a marketing tool to let you preview their other plugins. Since you have to buy the Topaz plugins to be able to use them (the complete plugin bundle costs US$299.99), I am not willing to pay for a hub for the Topaz plugins. ![]() I wonder if InstaTone™ (the only real use you can get from photoFXlab™ if you don't buy their other plugins) is worth US$29.99.soon to go up to the regular price of US$79.99. I hope other forum members here can give feedback on the photoFXlab™ InstaTone™, if it is worth the price.hopefully before the special price expires. I liked what I saw in the Webinar a couple weeks ago, several options besides the ability to use all your Topaz plugins within one window. It will take some time to really understand it all but that is the way it always is. I downloaded it today, installed, registered and away i went, no problems. I then downloaded it on my Laptop and entered my email address when prompted and all went as smooth as any install I have made. For $29.99 and for someone that has a lot of their products I don't think you can go wrong. The $79.99 normal price may have changed my mind.
