#DIFERENCE BETWEEN TOPAZ PHOTOFXLAB AND TOPAZ STUDIO PRO#

I started out using AP as a replacement for PaintShop Pro x8, which was a replacement for Topaz photoFXlab. I think there are multiple terms for the same thing that I can't always decipher. I suspect many of the users on this forum have at least some background and/or familiarity with Adobe's various products, which sometimes makes it hard for me to decipher what they're saying.

My problem: once I learn a procedure or technique, I may not use it again for a long time, and then can't find out how to do it again. My main issues are (1) the program's help file (search field often yields useless results) and (2) this forum (trying to find topics that are related primarily to Photo, especially AP for Windows). Sharkey, I don't know if this is what you're saying, but I too experience a lot of frustration in trying to use the program.

But I'm just getting familiar with AP, really like it, and don't want to abandon it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to go looking elsewhere for a different image processor. I could live with the export directory being always the same. Especially since I'm re-doing many that I'd previously over- or under-processed. Yes, I'm not as organized as I'd like to be, but I've got a ton of catching up to do. Qimage Ultimage saves files to a specific working directory, which is ok, since I know where to look. However: Zoner Photo Studio 18, FastStone, PaintShopPro x8,, and Olympus Viewer 3 all save edits to the current directory. saving to the last used directory, which is annoying. Nikon ViewNX2 acts the same as Affinity Photo, i.e. Here's what happens: if yesterday I worked in 2015-11/NEF, and today work in 2016-08/ORF, saving the latter TIFF ends up in the 2015-11/NEF directory. It would have thousands of files, multiple formats (TIFF & JPEG besides raw). I jump around a lot, so there is no single working directory. Scanned images are filed totally separately, based on subject matter. I ingest from my cameras into date-based directories, based on file format (NEF, NRW and ORF). No, I am not working from one single directory. Hopefully this is something that can be implemented soon. Saving to a default export directory would be an acceptable alternative, but obviously not my first choice. Qimage Ultimage saves files to a single default working directory, which is ok, since I know where to look. ) Nikon ViewNX2 works like Photo I have to remember to select the directory I want to save to. (And that extra step can be a mild nuisance when I get really going :). I'm using both Zoner Photo Studio 18 and FastStone as DAM programs.Īs an example: if yesterday I worked in /2015-11/NEF, and today work in /2016-08/ORF, saving the latter TIFF ends up in the 2015-11/NEF directory, if I forget to change it.

(ViewNX 2 is the other, but I'm using it less-and-less as I use AP more.)

This can get very frustrating trying to find and move the errant file, as this is one of the two programs I use frequently that does this, so I forget in between sessions.

(I'm posting a pointer to here in the 'Bugs on Windows' forum.Īpparently by default, AP Windows exports to the last used directory, not the current working directory. I think this is a feature request, and not a bug report.
