Indeed, in the UK it adds a hefty 20% VAT. Then you realise that this actually just a tease announcement, and that we won&#8217;t know the version that the &#8220;$100 discount&#8221; is to be applied to until Friday. But given the size of the discount it has to be the same as last year &mdash; for the expensive Professional and Floating Licences only.  That&#8217;s a pity, as bringing the Amateur version down to $50 for a few days would bring in thousands of new users, and also switch people away from pirated versions.<\/p>\n<p>* Topaz also has an pre-announcement that it will have a Black Friday sale, on Friday.  Topaz Clean and GigaPixel AI are likely the most desirable Topaz items for many, if the discounts are 30%+ significant.  GigaPixel now has a new &#8220;Artwork&#8221; up-scaling module.<\/p>\n<p>* No movement on other makers and software I&#8217;m monitoring, such as AKVIS (their new improved Charcoal is of interest), Expressi, Redfield, Flaming Pear (Flood 2), PhotoLine, Clip Studio, Blambot comics fonts, Comic Life, and JitBit Macro Recorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And&#8230; it looks like it&#8217;s going a bit quiet from now until Friday.
