Hello, I have an older McBook Pro and the new update will not work with Intel. Can I download th folder version of Topaz and continue using until I get a new MacBook?
Hi Steve,
Click on the link below which, will direct to the System Requirements page
Once opened you’ll find the option for checking your computer’s compatibility
I’m not a Mac user myself but I believe the last version that supported Intel Mac was v3.6.2 here’s the link to download that version and also, a second link for all Previous Releases so, you can try a newer version
Topaz Photo AI v3.6.2
https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazPhotoAI/3.6.2/TopazPhotoAI-3.6.2.pkg

Hope this helps
@capt_steve.sobrado - Topaz Studio apps are not comptible with the Intel Macs. We are looking into the possibility of supporting Intel Macs, with limitations in the future, but it is not compatible at the moment. Even when compatible, since Intel Macs are not optimized for AI Processing, it will remain slow in app behavior, and will have limitations using all generative models locally as the Intel Mac cannot handle these AI models.
Here is the Topaz Photo’s System Requirements mentionning the incompatibilities:
If your case, you own Photo AI, the legacy app, you can use it on your Intel Mac, however, see the warnings about slow processing and incompatibilities with generative models:
System Requirements (Legacy) | Topaz Photo AI
You can install it from your owned apps in your Topaz account: https://app.topazlabs.com/apps
