Nik Software or Topaz Labs

If you were going to just get one of these which would buy first? I've seen some ads in my magazines and have to say these programs both look pretty interesting. Then again I'm sure some of you Photoshop purist might frown on these programs, I think the results look pretty cool IMHO. :banana:

I have Topaz Labs, older version but it's awesome software if you ask me. I wouldn't mind getting Nik Software's new B&W software. Suppose to be very good.

Seeing as Topaz is a site sponsor. I'll say Topaz.

I personally own/use Nik stuff. ;)

Why not just get both as they both have a couple different cool programs that the other doesn't have :thumbsup:

I have some older NIK programs. Color Exef Pro 2, Sharpener Pro 2 & the B&W one (can't remember the name of it)...Some friends have Topaz...All have their uses & can be used very creatively...
