I just received an email from Topaz to inform me that both Adjust and Simplify have just had new updates released.
If you already own these products you can update your version for free.

Simone, thanks for the heads up! I had forgotten to check my e-mail today. Now I am all set. Both updates installed.

Aside from the link Sepiana provided, there are undoubtedly links in the email you received. Yes there are Craig. Storm, the email had two big green buttons, one to download for Windows and one for Mac; just select the appropriate one and off you go! Edit: Blue and Green - blue buttons under the Adjust announcement part of the email and green for the Simplify part. |

Just to let everyone know two problems I encountered with these Topaz updates.
1. The download links inside the e-mail didn't work. I had to go to their website to download the updates.
2. The installer found all versions of Photoshop CC but, when it came to Elements, it missed Elements 15 (although it found all other versions). I had to do a copy/paste job for this version.

FYI: I found that I have all the topaz products I have purchased installed in PSE 13, but not in 14 or 15. Their help file says
but I have no idea how to do what that says.

I found that I have all the topaz products I have purchased installed in PSE 13, but not in 14 or 15. Elements 13, 14, and 15 are 64-bit apps. Just go to the Plug-Ins folder in Elements 13, copy the Topaz files (folders) and paste them in the Plug-Ins folder in both Elements 14 and 15.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\Plug-Ins

That seems like a solution that is extremely wasteful of resources; only one copy is needed. The solution recommended by Topaz, to create a shortcut and place it in the plug-ins folder would be much better, but I don't know how to go about it. |

As a rule of thumb, copy/paste is the way to go when the installer doesn't do its job. This is true of most plug-ins (including the Topaz ones). I am not sure I know how to go about it in the way you want. Hopefully someone will know how to do it.

I took another look at this issue. I wonder if they are talking about this UTILITY. The description says . . .
"Includes Photoshop: Elements 12-15"
"Utility creates new Topaz shortcuts in PS folder selected"
They also suggest the usual copy/paste technique in Method 3 (Manual Setup).
