Adobe Now Owns Topaz: Is This GOOD News or BAD?
On the 23rd of September 2026, Adobe completed its purchase of Topaz Labs, but what does that mean for photographers using Photoshop, Lightroom or Topaz on its own? In this video, I share my thoughts on the acquisition, the potential for better integration and more control, and the questions around pricing and generative credits. I also look at what Adobe has confirmed about standalone Topaz products and what I’d like to see happen next.00:00 Intro
