Topaz Fusion Express

Topaz Fusion Express gives Aperture users the means to harness the power and versatility of Topaz Photoshop plug-ins without even opening up Photoshop. Topaz Fusion Express eliminates a cumbersome extra step and allows you to access the entire workflow within Aperture.

Aperture users don't even need Photoshop! Topaz Fusion Express and its associated plug-ins are completely self-contained with Aperture itself.

2. Easy and Effective Retouching:
