Right away, to take advantage of this, you need to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topazlabs.com\/founder\/ref\/5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check the status of your Topaz account<\/a><\/strong> to see if it&#8217;s ready for this transition! Just keep your current licenses active to maintain your Topaz Studio access. Topaz reps say this new deal is \u201cbetter than Black Friday\u201d-!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting on September 16, customers who currently have at least 2 current Topaz apps set on auto-renewal will immediately gain access to the New Topaz Studio set of technologies. The existing Topaz apps will enter maintenance mode but will remain separately accessible on your system as perpetual apps (so long as your OS can run them).<br><br>This is what you want to see:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1348\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch1.png 1348w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch1-768x640.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1348px) 100vw, 1348px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is what you will get:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch2.png 1680w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch2-768x366.png 768w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch2-1536x731.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"1048\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch3.png 796w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/launch3-768x1011.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <strong>do not renew<\/strong> your existing apps right now, you can still enjoy the new Topaz Studio offerings for the remainer of your license period. If you wait and renew sometime after 9\/16, the current deal will not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now this is a really exciting change: No longer do you need to purchase credits to render your still images in the Topaz Cloud! It was not fun paying for credits and rolling the dice to see what the generative AI models would spit out, only to have to try again and again while the credits burned. Now, there is no additional cost for your experimentation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cloudunlimited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cloudunlimited.png 1000w, https:\/\/plugsandpixels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cloudunlimited-768x151.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice you also get access to any of the latest advanced AI models that Topaz develops along the way, and they tell us even more are in the works.
