Using Topaz Vivacity


Depending upon your host, Topaz Vivacity filters can be found in different ways. Refer to the host programs documents. Here are a few examples: Photoshop: under menu: Filter->Topaz Vivacity Paint Shop Pro: under menu: Effects->Plug-in->Topaz Vivacity PhotoImpact: under menu: Effect->Topaz Vivacity IrfanView (freeware): under menu: Image->Effects->Adobe 8BF filters In Adobe 8BF Filters dialog, use Add 8BF filters button to browse to a Topaz Vivacity installation folder and add the folder. After installation, if the host program cannot find Topaz Vivacity, you may not have installed it to the right directory. Please refer to ReleaseNote.rtf carefully for detailed installation instructions and re-install the software. Then, you need to close the host program and re-start it after installation so that the host program can find Topaz Vivacity and load it into their plug-ins menu. For Photoshop, you can use a set of pre-recorded actions to facilitate some tasks, especially image enlargement. You can load the actions by: 1. In Photoshop Actions panel, click the upper-left menu button and select Load Actions 2. Browse to the Topaz Vivacity installation directory, e.g., C\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS 2\Plug-ins\TopazVivacity and select TopazVivicaty.atn. All Topaz Vivacity filters have full action and scripting capabilities. Therefore, you can use Topaz Vivacity filters in any of your customized actions as well as image batch processing. During the 30-day evaluation period, a reminder dialog may appear multiple times when the host program starts up. It should disappear after 2 seconds.

Compatibility
Topaz Vivacity should work with most programs that support Photoshop plug-in API 6.0 and above. If you cannot make it work with yours, please double-check the installation. If you cannot solve your problem, please email us at [email protected]. If you do not have Photoshop or any commercial program that is compatible with Topaz Vivacity, many freeware programs also support the plug-in. For example, you can use IrfanView, a popular freeware used for viewing and processing images. You need to download and install both the IrfanView program and IrfanView plug-in packages. In this case, you can install Topaz Vivacity to any folder.
