Resolved in v1.2.1 | OPACITY SLIDER MISSING | Sharpen Opacity Slider not available in v1.2.0

They said the slider would come back:

and, of course, it was a very bad idea to remove it.

Many of Topaz functions are quite „over the top“ (seem to be made with small smartphone screens in mind) - so the possibility diminishing that with an opacity-slider is extremely welcome.

Otherwise you would have to overlay the Topaz output with the original in e.g. Photoshop to achieve something that is viewable on a 32“ monitor.
