Adobe closes its Topaz Labs deal
Adobe's SEC filing puts the Topaz Labs price at about $340 million, and Adobe says the apps stay standalone. Neither company has said what happens to the Resolve, Final Cut and Nuke plugins, the fal and Krea resale or Creative Cloud pricing.
Adobe completed its Topaz Labs acquisition on 23 September, and its own quarterly filing with the SEC, lodged the day before, puts the price at about $340 million, mostly in cash. Neither the June announcement nor the closing post gave a number.
Much of the coverage called Topaz models inside Premiere the next step, but that already exists. Topaz shipped its own Premiere panel in May and sells plugins for After Effects, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Final Cut Pro and Nuke. What changed is ownership, since a finishing tool that Resolve editors rely on now belongs to Adobe.
Adobe says the Topaz brand stays and its apps and models remain on sale as standalone products. Neither company has said what happens to the plugins for rival editors, to Topaz models resold through fal and Krea, or to Creative Cloud pricing.
In practice, your Topaz plan and plugins keep working today. This is the cheap moment to list which finishing steps run through one vendor and to price a second upscaler, such as Runway's built-in upscaling or an open-source option, before any repricing arrives.
