Thanks for all those points, Moose. This one might be key, though. Perhaps I’m 
not noticing noise and using Clarity on a (slightly) noisy file might cause the lack 
of smoothness.
 
Sounds about right. Makes Crunchies. The new Topaz Sharpen AI options have NR sliders, too. But as I see it, that's for 
the noise/crunchies they create. It's better to go in already smooth appearing. 
 
I’ve resisted going for another Topaz gizmo because I’ve lost track of the way Studio 
is supposed to work –
 
I mostly have, too. although not for your reasons. Studio is mostly an editor, and it do that in PS. The newer AI tools 
are stand alone and PS style plug-ins, so I use them from within PS. Some of their options are wildly computation 
intensive, so slow, but the work flow is seamless. 
That's not an option in C1. I don't know if they are integrated into Studio, as 
I've never tried that.
 
and my already bought plugins weren’t transferred
 
I didn't have that problem. I think that, one way or another, I've bought pretty much all their stuff, and it all worked 
in Studio. Now, of course, windows doesn't like something when I open it. Bed time, reinstall later. 
 
, with no answer from their Support people
 
Now that seems odd, on the couple of occasions I've needed them, I've received prompt, helpful assistance. Been awhile, 
though. 
 
  – as well as its being rather slow. But I’m treating myself to a new iMac 
after tomorrow, so speed should be much better.
 
Oh! Fun! I keep thinking about building a new PC, or at least a new MB and 
processor, with Win10 to start with.
