Sample Project
In this project, we will walk you through a quick example workow to help you get acquainted with the tools and setup
of Topaz Star Eects. This example will show you a basic workow and introduce you to the layout of the program.
As you begin, you can choose and apply one of the included presets
to instantly add a star eect, or you can start your work manually
using the tabs and sliders in the tool panel. Whether you decide to
work with presets, manual adjustments, or both, you will be able to
customize your star eects to perfect the look for your image.
