. For a while I couldn't find it. It's in your filters (d'uh).

Those are really nice photos. So if you have to reduce the size of the photo you're working on because you don't have enough memory, what is the largest you could print out? Don't worry about your tech speak --mine is just as bad if not worse!I uploaded the trial version. You tell them if you have Windows (which is what I have) or a Mac. You give them your email address and they will email you your key for the trial period. I have no idea how big the system is. I know that our computer has a very small amount of memory. And is running an older version of windows.
It was a piece of cake to get it loaded and added to CS3
The first picture I tried to edit was taken with my old Canon so just 6.1mp (it was what someone termed a 'throw away' picture because it was waaay underexposed - it was that Pop picture I put in the POTD thread). I was able to edit it but when I would hit continue (for it to leave Topaz and bounce back into CS3) is when I would get the error message. It was 3000(something)x2000(something) in size. The Topaz admin. came along on their complaint board and told me that my picture may be too large for my memory. I reduced it down to 2975xWhatever the default is and it worked like a charm.
I also worked on a few from Ft. Lauderdale that were taken with my new Canon at 15mp and had zero problem adjusting them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this program. I know you can purchase it in bits and pieces. The Adjust progam alone is close to $45 (pulling from memory), or you can bundle it with 2 other programs for $99. I don't know that I would have much use for the other two that are in the bundle.
Here is a 15mp picture that I reworked yesterday.
*Note, sorry that my tech-speak is terrible. I don't know how to put what I'm saying into great big word terms to sound all professional
Did you have to increase RAM or decrease the allocation of ram to PS? I really want to try it. Did your adjust come bundled with the Noise reduction software? If so was it the beter one?
.
Zackiedawg - 2, 3, 4, & 6 are my favorites! Which adjust option did you use to do those? Since I'm only about 2 days into playing with it, I've been using the psychadelic (?) option, going way overboard on the processing just because it's so fun. I like how yours have the HDR effect to them.
TIA
Dcanoli thanks for posting that link and coupon code!
Justin, thanks so much for telling me which opitons you used for which pictures. I lurk on TMIP page and have been reading all of your reviews and seeing examples over there as well. Can't wait till June when I can take my new camera and new tripod to the world and get some (crossing fingers) fantastic pictures to work in Topaz with.
Thanks also Dcanoli for the discount code. That may have just put me over the edge in helping me decide to purchase the bundle.
Cool site! I like it! Thanks Justin!
. I hope I didn't say anything wrong about the other page! I never even gave it a second thought. I haven't read all of the rules and regulations here to know what is alright to talk about and what is best left in pm's.
