How many of you utilize Posterize?

37

I just tried the TS 2 to check this out. I think it uses the Accept button to return the image to the host program. If you use TS 2 as a standalone process there is a file> save as option…

38

That is correct @Buckstop75! Depending on the host editor, especially if in an “external editor” mode the original can be overwritten.

39

Wow, thanks Buckstop75 and Russel. You are right. I can use it as a stand alone and I am good to go. That was an easy fix.

40

I probably looked at it two or three times right at the beginning, just to see what it did. Haven’t touched it since.

41

Thx Russell!

Any chance they can add a small prt (so to speak) sub head that says, “Most Recent First”?

Not life critical, but might be nice if not huge hassle.

42

Never used it. Had little effect on a current picture I just tried out. Can do without it

43

I use occasionally & then reduce opacity (or add Blend Mode) for a Simplified look… Don’t use it ‘straight up’. If have a Simplify plugin, would use it as alternative.

I would suggest for the Moderators to pin this thread to help with FAQ.

Rarely. Would not miss it.

I use Capture One Pro and now make a duplicate image to open with TS2 to avoid overwriting the original image. It is an easy fix, but… it would still be nice if a ‘save as’ button could be added. I had to cancel out of TS2 image because I forgot to make a duplicate first.

First of all thank you to the Topaz staff… you have been great at answering questions and giving help. After watching the webinar I am now beginning to understand TS2 better. No need for a ‘save as’ button since that is really the purpose of the new EXPORT button. Silly me, I should have figured that out. Initally I was concerned that TS2 was being made more simplistic. However, now I realize that the opposite is true. It is a very powerful tool for all aspects of my editing needs. Thank you! It is organized differently and some things have been renamed, but it is all of TS1 and more.

I haven’t had any need for posterize so far.
