Topaz Photo Pro 1.8.0 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 18, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Topaz Photo Pro from Topaz Labs brings together the jobs photographers most often need after a shoot: removing noise, sharpening soft details, enlarging small files and recovering faces. Instead of switching between separate tools, you open a photo, let the app suggest settings based on the image, then adjust the strength of each fix yourself. It fits into a Lightroom or Photoshop workflow or works on its own. Updated Aug 18, 2026.

Key Features

• Noise removal for high ISO and low light photos
• Sharpening tools for motion blur and soft focus
• Upscaling that prepares images for larger output
• Face recovery for portraits that lack detail
• Autopilot suggestions you can fine tune by hand

How to Download

1. Open the official vendor page linked below and check that the version and system needs match your Mac.
2. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file to your Mac.
3. Open the downloaded file and follow the on screen steps to install the app.
4. Launch the app from the Applications folder and complete any first run setup it shows.

System Requirements

You need a Mac running a recent version of macOS, with Apple silicon giving the fastest results, and enough free disk space for the app, its models and your edited photos. An internet connection is needed for downloads and cloud features.

FAQs

Is Topaz Photo Pro an editor like Photoshop?

No. It focuses on improving image quality rather than layers and design work. Many people use it beside a main editor to fix noise, blur and size first.

Does it work on raw files?

It accepts many common photo formats including raw files from popular cameras. Check the vendor list for your camera if raw support matters to your workflow.

GrandPerspective 3.8.1 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 18, 2026

⬇ Download Now

When a Mac disk fills up, the culprit is rarely obvious from a list of folders. GrandPerspective takes a visual route. It scans a drive or folder and draws a map where every file is a rectangle and the size of each rectangle matches the size of the file. Big blocks mean big files, so the downloads, videos and old disk images that eat your space stand out at once. The app is open source and has been maintained for many years. Updated Aug 18, 2026.

Key Features

• Draws disk use as a clear visual map
• Rectangle size matches file size for instant spotting
• Colours files by type folder or age to suit your hunt
• Zoom and focus tools explore large folders in detail

How to Download

1. Go to the project home and use the Download from the official site link to reach the download area.
2. Download the disk image for the current release and open it.
3. Move the app into your Applications folder and launch it.

System Requirements

The current release needs a recent version of macOS, and the project keeps older builds for older systems. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs and needs very little free disk space, since it only reads your files and draws a picture of them.

FAQs

Is GrandPerspective free?

Yes. The download from the project site is free and the app is open source. A paid copy on the Mac App Store is also offered as a way to support development.

Does it delete files for me?

It shows you where space is used and can reveal files in Finder. Deleting stays your decision, which keeps the cleanup safe and deliberate.

Paint Link 1.0.9 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 18, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Paint Link builds a live bridge between After Effects and Photoshop. Instead of exporting frames and importing them back one by one, you send a frame to Photoshop, paint or retouch it there, and the result flows straight back into your composition. It shines on cleanup work and hand painted looks, especially on tracked and stabilised shots prepared with Lockdown, where you can remove rigs, fix skin or add texture while the footage still moves. Photoshop tools such as Generative Fill and the Neural Filters also become usable on moving images through this link.

Key Features

• Live link between After Effects and Photoshop with no manual export steps
• Paint and retouch moving footage with the full Photoshop brush toolset
• Works well with tracked and stabilised plates for cleanup tasks
• Lets you apply Photoshop Generative Fill to video frames
• Keeps painted frames in sync with your composition

How to Download

1. Make sure After Effects and Photoshop are installed on your Mac.
2. Use the download button on this page to get the installer.
3. Install the tool, restart After Effects, and open Paint Link.

System Requirements

You need a Mac with recent macOS, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop installed, and enough free disk space for frame caches at your footage resolution.

FAQs

Does Paint Link replace the paint tools inside After Effects?

No. You paint in Photoshop, where the brush and retouch tools are stronger, and the result returns to your composition automatically.

Can I use Generative Fill on moving footage with it?

Yes. Painted or generated content can be applied across a tracked shot instead of being fixed to a single still frame.

Do I need Lockdown to use Paint Link?

No, it works on its own. Many artists pair the two because a tracked plate makes painting on moving surfaces far easier.

4. Launch the app from the Applications folder and complete any first run setup it shows.

You need a Mac running a recent version of macOS, on Apple silicon or Intel depending on the edition you choose. The app itself is small, and it needs permission to read battery information so it can show alerts and history.

FAQs

Which devices can Juicy track?

Alongside your Mac itself, Juicy can show nearby Apple devices such as AirPods, iPhone, iPad and Magic accessories when they are connected or paired with the Mac.

Can Juicy limit how far my Mac charges?

The direct download edition offers charge limit controls on supported Macs. Editions from other stores may have fewer controls because of store rules.

CurveConductor 1.1.0 for Mac

Mac Utilities

Updated Aug 18, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Anyone who animates in After Effects knows the slow part. You tune an ease on one property, then repeat the same handle dragging on ten more, and a small timing change means doing it all again. CurveConductor takes a cleaner approach. Shape one control curve, point your properties at it, and every linked property follows that timing. Refine the curve once and the whole move updates live. It suits title sequences, product shots and character work where several layers must land on the same beat.

Key Features

• One shared control curve drives the timing of many properties at once
• Every linked property updates live when you reshape the curve
• Each control curve stays as a single editable element
• Cuts out repetitive manual ease matching across layers and properties
• Keeps complex moves consistent when timing notes change late

How to Download

1. Download from the official site and check the current version and compatibility notes there.
2. Install the tool using the aescripts manager app or the method listed on the product page.
3. Restart After Effects, open CurveConductor, and link your first properties to a control curve.

System Requirements

You need a Mac with a supported version of Adobe After Effects and recent macOS. The tool is small and works inside your existing projects.

FAQs

What problem does CurveConductor actually solve?

It removes duplicated effort. Instead of copying the same ease onto property after property, you edit one curve and all linked properties follow it.

Can different properties use different curves?

Yes. You can create more than one control curve and assign each group of properties to the curve that fits its part of the move.

Does it change my keyframes?

Your keyframes stay in place. The tool drives how values move between them, so timing can be reshaped without rebuilding the animation.

Yes. You can add more than one Gmail account and switch between them from the panel, which helps if you keep work and personal mail apart.

Updated Aug 18, 2026

Speakers can be identified and colour coded, and a click on any line in the transcript moves the playhead straight to that moment.

FAQs

Do I need to export my audio before transcribing?

No. VoxMark finds the audio layers, including nested ones, and renders the mix itself, so nothing needs lining up afterwards.

Is there a monthly subscription for VoxMark itself?

No. It is a single purchase. Transcription runs through your chosen provider with your own key, with no server in between.

Can it tell different speakers apart?

Yes. With AssemblyAI voices are identified automatically and colour coded. On other providers you can assign voices by hand in the panel.
