It seems to me that "Precison contrast" is equivalent to Clarity standalone. However Topaz Studio "precision contrast" has now all the functionality of standalone plugin + some more (in previous version it was somewhat limited). Studio restarted -however there is no Clarity adjustment (I have complete Studio Pro pack + every plugin Topaz developed so far incl Clarity standalone). I did the same procedure as you described and updated to Studio 1.1.8. I edited as normal from there and saved the Layer back into Photoshop CC.Įxcept for the problems I mentioned above, to which Topaz responded "I hear you loud and clear and have my development team working on that now", the transition to Clarity in Studio was seamless. Studio opened with Clarity already up front. I created a separate layer in Photoshop CC (Clarity in Studio WILL NOT WORK on an Original Layer) and opened Clarity (in Studio). Not only was Studio still available in the Topaz plug-ins, but the new plug-in for Clarity (in Studio) was also available (in addition to the legacy plug-in for Clarity). At this point Clarity in Studio worked fine so I closed Studio. (Note that I own the pro pack, so all new features were already available). Studio then re-opened as the new version with Clarity in Studio at the bottom of the Workflow column. That closed Studio and ran the update, which included deleting the older version of Studio (I chose to expand the processes during the update so I can watch what's happening). After getting the e-mail that Clarity in Studio was available, I opened up Studio and ran Update from the Help Menu. So I'll be happy to answer your questions if they are in regard to the new Clarity install. (Still don't understand why that should be necessary, but it's been true for me since I installed Studio several versions ago.) The install of Studio seems unnecessarily complicated, but it did work, and Studio opens after I log into my Studio account. Before I answer your questions, I think it is important for me to be clear that my problems are with trying to get the new Clarity into Studio, not with the install of Studio itself.
