December 10, 2014 By Eric Reagan

Topaz Labs has released its new Glow plugin, which actually happens to also work as a standalone program.

Glow-Before-After-2

The technology behind Glow seeks out the unexplored lines and patterns in images and illuminates them. It can produce some interesting effects with light and lines.

Topaz Glow retails for $69.99; however, it is on sale during its launch through the end of December for $49.99. Just use the coupon code INTROGLOW at checkout.

    What a waste! Topaz Labs technology is for brain dead neophytes who could do better putting their excessive spare time to more productive socially conscious endeavors.

      They have a lot of great plugins that can save you time, and share your artwork with people in a different way. Perhaps you can’t afford them, or are not creative enough to see how they can help you, but your statement is foolish and child like.

        Well said Darren. I have had people claim that they can do any Topaz effect with PS. I agree with them but add that it would take them an hour to do what I can do in 5 minutes. Additionally, the cost of PSPro X-7 and full Topaz with holiday discount is by far less than PS which changes yearly or you will be paying for the rest of your life.

      I couldn’t disagree more with Hasifleur’s comment! Companies like Topaz are simply doing a great job showing amateurs and professional photographers what can be achieved with their product.. Plugin technology is there to further enhance your creativity and NOT to replace it!

      Trying out plugins is a bit like using filters or other accessories to enhance your shots while on an assignment, except you do not have to carry the extra bulk or need an extra pair of hands to help you. It’s simply another technology to assist you while post processing.

      Personally I do not always take back home first class shots that can be published straight out of the box. It’s nice to have tools that can instantly assist you in achieving the kind of shots you were hoping to get but couldn’t for various reasons. Plugins are also quicker to achieve what you want without spending hours on an editing software package. I do not feel brain dead after using such a product. On the contrary, It makes me want to go out and take more shots.
