Collections
The are six collections in Topaz Glow containing over 70 effects to help you achieve vibrant and beautiful images.
The Neon Collection
With the Neon collection, Glow darkens the background, making the items in focus appear radiant with vivid colors. Use this collection to transform your photo into a light-infused, brilliant neon effect or select the screen blending mode to blend the glowing edges into your original photo.
The Graphic Collection
The Graphic collection contains a wide variety of effects that can turn your image into a sketch-like drawing, a dark and glowing fibrous look or even an energized vibration effect. With strong bold edges and softer image details, these presets are ideal for when you want the edges to stand out in your result.
The Liquid Designs Collection
Transform your image with flowing lines and smooth color transitions. With this collection you can create fluid illustrations and highly defined swirling line designs. By applying certain effects to detailed subjects, like trees, you can get curly edged illustrations.
The Fur and Feathers Collection
Use this collection for high-contrast, smooth-edged flowing lines to help separate and distinguish small details (like fur and feathers). Certain effects can be used to create detail illustrations that work well for animals and hair.
The Fantasy Collection
Glow’s Fantasy collection contains a wide array of different looks, ranging from soft and whimsical to bright and dynamic. Applied at full strength, these effects give dream-like, otherworldly results. When blended into the original image you can create more contemporary effects.
The Afterglow Collection
With this collection you can create a delicate and ethereal atmosphere with diffused radiant light effects. Producing a soft and muted glow, effects in this collection work well with nature and wildlife.

No getting the 30 day free trial. I tried 3 times.
Thanx

On December 1, 2014, I purchased the entire Topaz Collection which did not include Glow. I have sent emails to Topaz Labs on December 18 and December 30 asking if Glow should have been included in my Topaz Collection which promised to include “all” Topaz products with free upgrades. As of January 9, no one at Topaz Labs has contacted me to discuss this issue. If anyone at Topaz Labs reads these messages, would you please contact me. Thanks

ugg…would love to try this. But, alas…I have os 10.6.8.
Any possible way of creating a version for those who are not wanting to buy a new computer at this time?

There is still time to purchase Glow at a great price! The excellent presets allow you to create images from the highly dramatic to the very subtle. As with all of the Topaz programs you have the ability to customize these and create an unlimited number of your own. With Glow it is just fun to see how images can be transformed in ways never imagined! It works well with PaintShop Pro X7 and Photoshop CC also. So give it a try!

Wow…this is probably the most exciting of your software releases. It is just exactly what I have been waiting for. Photorealism is of course a good thing, but sometimes one wants something beyond what the eye saw and instead what the eye and imagination together conceive of. This is what Glow offers. It is wonderful.

I use many of the other Topaz Labs packages and this is another superb addition. It takes photography into yet a new dimension in the art of creativity. It is very easy to use and there are endless possibilities within each filter category, using the integral sliders.
It works standalone or within Photoshop CC 2014. Whether you are a photographer or digital artist, this is a great package to have within your post processing software.

Can this be used in OS 10.10 Yosemite?
Darcy Wheeler
Yes, Glow is compatible with Mac OS X 10.8 and up.

The new Glow has been released and what a package it is. First off, it was apparently tested well since I had zero problems on install of v.1.0. Second, its functionality is superb, and the rendering of so many different looks of digital images is outstanding. It is easy to use and blending and opacity slider and alter the image to work for your needs. Presets are available as a starting gate in many different image categories. With the selection of individual sliders for various settings, it is amazing to watch them change the rendering of the image. It makes it just right for your final touch. This is a real digital artist crowd pleaser for sure.
