Use Topaz Plug-Ins Inside Aperture

CreativePro Staff

Topaz, the maker of many Photoshop plug-ins, just released Fusion Express for Aperture. This plug-in, which is a free download, lets you use Topaz plug-ins for Photoshop within Aperture.
Powerful Topaz Functions Integrated to Aperture Workflow
Topaz Fusion Express fuses the simplicity, versatility, and vibrancy of Topaz Photoshop plug-ins with the convenience of Apple Aperture to give you total control of your workflow.
Topaz Fusion Express gives Aperture users the means to harness the power and versatility of Topaz Photoshop plug-ins without even opening up Photoshop. This eliminates a cumbersome extra step and keeps the entire workflow within Aperture.
Easily Improve Image Quality
The Topaz suite of plug-ins greatly extends the functionality of existing Aperture adjustments.
Topaz DeNoise offers a complete noise reduction solution that removes far more noise and preserves far more detail than other solutions.
Topaz Adjust optimizes image exposure, color, and detail strength for stunning image results.
Topaz Simplify provides creative simplification, art effects, and line accentuation for easy one-of-a-kind art.
Topaz Clean integrates unique smoothing capabilities with stylized detail manipulation to add refreshing flair to photos.
Topaz DeJPEG drastically improves the quality of web images and other compressed photos.
With Topaz Fusion Express, these powerful filters are all available at the click of a button right in Aperture’s interface. The addition of these highly effective yet intuitive plug-ins to Aperture puts greatly enhanced editing power at the fingertips of any photographer.
(Note that Topaz Fusion Express only makes these plug-ins compatible with Aperture – each actual product requires separate purchase for full functionality beyond 30 days.)
Easy and Effective Retouching
Access all the post-processing tools you need right inside of Aperture.
DeNoise: Noise reduction, an integral part of low light / high ISO photography, is often unsatisfactory with native Aperture noise reduction tools. DeNoise’s state-of-the-art noise reduction abilities make formerly noisy photos clean, clear, and crisp.
Adjust: Quality exposure adjustment in Aperture and Photoshop is cumbersome and sometimes frustrating. Topaz Adjust makes this process simple, fun, and highly rewarding.
Simplify: Regular Aperture users must export their photos to Photoshop to create any sort of artistic effect. Fusion Express users can use Topaz Simplify right from Aperture as a stunning finishing touch to their photos.
Clean: Topaz Clean offers something Photoshop and Aperture have no equivalent for: full control of detail and edge manipulation and stylization right within Aperture itself.
DeJPEG: Aperture includes no JPEG fixer and Photoshop includes a fast but low-quality one. Topaz DeJPEG make sure that any compressed image looks like best it can possibly be.
