Topaz Photo AI works well as an ON1 Plugin. Can Topaz Photo be used as a plugin?

Hi.

Yes currently it’s essentially the same application so yes, you can use it as a Plug in

Hope this helps

It may be “essentially” the same, but there are differences. For it to work for me, I had to add the additional .plugin files to my On1 Photoshop Plugins folder and, on my Mac mini M4, I had toggle on Full Disk Access for On1 PhotoRaw 2026.

I found the .8bf file and copied it to the appropriate ON1 folder (Preferences\>Plugins).

It works fine now.

I assume you are on a PC where the procedure for getting it to work might be different. Glad it does. There is always a bit of trial and error involved!
