Is it possible now or can it be possible in the future to be able to use the original image as the input when applying a second look?
In TS1 this features was great for being able to create quite a say painterly under layer and then layer over top say a sketch type effect ) with details from the original image.
Maybe it is possible now … if so could someone tell me how please.
I suspect that in Photoshop what you would be looking at is a Smart Object - where you can add different filter effects to the same image inside one layer…?
I am scratching my head to see if a “Smart Object” can be replicated inside TS2?!?!?
In the Rostami Preset inside TS2, I haven’t yet explored the structure of the preset to see if it has - in its TS2 implementation - used the “Use Original Image As Input” facility?
If you right click on any Filter or Look one of the options is “Use original image as input”.
Thank you Paul
Jack I don’t use Photoshop … it was something I was using in the original Topaz Studio … Paul has suggested it is right click … will try once the updating finishes on my laptop 
You’re welcome, Sharon.
