Topaz Labs is cutting the price of their complete collection, normally $430 to $250 for the next four days HERE!

Let it rain, let it pour.  Black Friday has become synonymous with hoards of shoppers jostling to get that $20 dvd player while normally ignoring that there may be another (or many) human beings between them and said dvd player.  Then came Cyber Monday (this next monday) where on line retailers and web based deals come out in force.  As those of us stateside crawl out of our food based comas, the inevitable deals begin to materialize.  For those outside of the states, you might be able to see this as a good opportunity to capitalize on our bizarre seasonal shopping traditions.

Personally, I’m kind of an opportunist shopper.  I store products away in my brain, a mental wish list as it were, and if I see those products go on sale at a deep enough gouge, I tend to jump.  If you’ve hung out on the fence regarding the Topaz plugins, this my friends, might just be one of those times.

Topaz is offering all 15 of their plugins for $249.99 HERE – Use code “BLACKFRIDAY2014 ” at checkout

Great news for those of us that already own one or more of the Topaz plugins.  Click the link above, and if you sign in before checking out (using the email that you’ve had your activation codes sent to for previous purchases, and would have any new ones sent to) you get further discounts as you won’t obviously need to purchase them again, unless you want to.  This sale runs through this Monday, December 1st, so the window is short, but oh so potentially sweet.

All plugins, if purchased individually would total $869.85!  The complete Topaz Collection normally discounts this down to $429.99, so cutting this down to $250 is pretty substantial.  Taking into consideration that Impression alone is $99.99, DeNoise is $79.99, ReMask is $69.99 and Clarity is $49.99 (which are all amazing plugins) the deal is killer.  Add to that, Black and White Effects, Adjust, Clean, Detail, and then 7 more products…  Well, you get the gist.

Come on in for links to my reviews on many of these amazing plugins, and more clarification on how much you save if you already own some of the Topaz programs.

Stumble around on my blog here and you’ll quickly find that I’m a fan of many of the Topaz offerings.  I’ve not even tried them all, and may now have to.  Topaz does really well to offer high quality, and in many cases unique plugins at very reasonable prices.  They also normally have a promotional deal monthly, and regularly offer up brand new plugins for deep discounts.  I try to stay up on it, and try to offer some user insight, along with my personal take as these deals come up.  Whether you jump at this current deal, or may only be interested in a couple of their plugins, you can see and find more info on some of my favorites that I have reviewed here on the blog, click the links below:

Topaz Impression – beautiful artistic filters to transform your images into paintings, sketches or drawings.

Topaz ReMask – if you’ve ever had to select, and mask something in Photoshop, try this. Seriously.

Topaz DeNoise 5 – the best digital noise reduction available, for my money.

Topaz Clarity – smart and beautiful image contrast and micro sharpening made quick, simple and very effective.

Topaz Adjust – a variety of one click image enhancement filters.

I have quite a few other reviews and tutorials on the Reviews page as well.

So, what if you already own some Topaz plugins?  Well, I asked about that.  Below is the good news from Topaz:

“…it will basically be a 50% off coupon. If they are logged in already, the system will automatically calculate what the cost is to upgrade based on their current products. And then they will apply the coupon on top of that pro-rated upgrade price. The maximum discount they can get is $107.50. So around $50 is the lowest they’ll get even if they have lots of our products.”

There we go.  Using the email address that you have purchased your plugins through in the past, and the code “BLACKFRIDAY2014” should automatically apply the further discounts.  If you do this, and have a second, let us know how it works for you in the comments.

As is the case often when finding these links on line, if you do choose to purchase the Topaz Collection, doing so through my links here will give me a little referenced commission, and hopefully a bit more pull with Topaz so that I can continue to do my user reviews of their cool software plugins.  That, and my lovely and supportive wife will more easily be able to excuse me the time I take to write and keep this blog up 🙂 Click here to find the Topaz Collection for $249.99 – Use code “BLACKFRIDAY2014” at checkout.  I thank you in advance, and as always would love to hear from you if you have any questions.  This deal only runs through the weekend and ends Monday, so while I’m normally a huge advocate of downloading and testing out trial versions (which I do feel you should do if the time affords it), this deal may be too good to pass up if you’ve been at all interested in any of the Topaz plugins.

If you’d like to stay up on new releases, gear reviews and tutorials you can enter your email at the top of the page, or find me on Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.

Happy Holidays, happy Black Friday, have a great weekend and happy shooting!
