![]() ![]() Yes, I suppose fewer people would be confused if they used a different term, such as 'Upgrade Plan'. I think that's what they are saying but I have been confused before Topaz Labs has created Mask AI to make the masking process faster. Unlike LR, where its major functionality stops working if you don't continue to pay, you can continue to use your version of Topaz as per usual with a perpetual license. Masking in photography can sometimes be a time-consuming task in photo editing. I think they are confusing people by using the word subscription. There example seems to be just the normal perpetual license situation with the added benefit of avoiding the "I purchased V2 and two months later V3 came out and I don't get a free update" problem:-) So, for example, if you upgrade to version n and they bring out a major new n+1 release eight months later, you'll get that as part of your subscription. ![]() In general, the 'independent' application Topaz ReMask has become relatively recent. With its help you can separate the necessary element from the general background and make the background itself transparent. If you’ve used Topaz software since 2018, you would have received more than 100 new or substantially improved AI models for image quality. This training usually takes weeks or months to complete. When you buy an upgrade with Topaz, you will actually be buying a 12 month subscription for updates, rather than a particular major release. Topaz ReMask is a program that uses very precise algorithms for selecting individual objects in an image. Next, we gather and input millions of data points to help the system understand what 'image quality' means. They have basically gone to the normal perpetual license model, or am I missing something? After August, you will have the option of buying an annual subscription for updates. Yes, and it was discussed at length in this forum. But did Topaz actually say that they were stopping free updates? I've always had great luck with Topaz products. I, for one, am not willing to shell out more money to be an alpha tester. Read 1 user reviews and compare with similar apps on MacUpdate. We can only hope that when Topaz shuts off free updates in August that their software will at least be usable.
