This is a commercial program definitely worth a look
if you work with photos.

Enjoy  :)

Thanks Bob.  :) I still haven't been able to find much of anything about the product itself -- is this one of those cases where Google's a better bet than their own site?

Maybe this will help?

I'm sorry for possible my inconvenience, but if I download it, what will happen after May 24th (I mean isn't it the same story as with www.giveawayoftheday.com) :-\ ::)

Post by: DavidR on May 15, 2007, 10:13:46 PM
What will happen if you 'don't' download it before the 24th is it won't be free, but having downloaded it and installed it then it should be free for the duration you have it. If however, you come to upgrade it then I assume you would pay.

Many of these free products are used as a hook, you like it, a new version comes out and you upgrade, paying for the upgrade. Some offer a free copy of an earlier version and not the current version to hopefully get you to upgrade.

I would say it differs from the download of the in that this offer extends for much more than a day, but the principle is the same, a free application for a limited period.

Thanks bob,

when I find the time I will try it. Although I'm a fan of robust packages like Photoshop & such you never know when some little app can surprise you.

Well this little app is a 23.7MB download, not so small when you are using dial-up so I've had to give it a miss.

Hi David,
Some programs are worth the time even if you're on dialup. IMHO, this is one of them.  :)

I was considering it as I have just ordered a new (1st one) digital camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ3 compact x10 optical zoom) I received it today so I may need something to tweak in the near future.

So I will probably need something a little more comprehensive than Irfanview ;D or MS Photo Editor ;D

I guess I can just about scrape that in my 2hr cut off period.

Hi David :) You can try to use GIMP ( the Windows version is avaliable too), It was recomended to me by one of my good friends from Poland, I tried it, like it, & use it very often.
P.S. Sorry for possibe offtopic here ;D :-X

It took me a few days of limited online time (on dial-up) to download this one, but so far I think it was worth it.  Definitely better than the very limited and outdated one I have been using.  And I am very glad I heard about download managers.

I have actually tried the Gimp some time ago and whilst it is undoubtedly powerful, I didn't like the interface, the way it spreads the different function windows all over the place, drove me to near insanity and I don't believe they have changed that.

Well I have had two shots at downloading it using firefox default download, it 'lost server connection' both times once at 15.7MB the second at just over 1MB. I also tried Star Downloader and that to kept loosing the server connection. So it would appear that the server load is too great I wil try again earlier in the day.

Hi David,
Maybe you'll have better luck getting it from MySharedFiles (http://home.comcast.net/~mysharedfiles/).  ;D

I had the same problem as DavidR did with downloading. Thank you Bob, again :)

Thanks Bob, I will give that a try tomorrow, a bit late here just after 1:30 a.m.

Wow, that was a bit of a marathon, 1 hour 50 minutes, I wasn't sure at one point if it would come in under the two hour cut off limit. But, it is done now, time to install it and have a play with it.

Thanks once again Bob.

Your welcome.  :) After all this trouble, I sure hope you find the effort worthwhile.  ;D

I will let you know, haven't even got around to installing it yet, spent a lot of time just getting used to the camera today.

Just for the heck of it I downloaded the Magix program. I threw something together real fast as a Avatar made using just this program. It's the Avatar here shown now with my post. Pretty good program and user friendly. Thanks for the heads up Bob.  ;D

Well I tried to install it after my weekly back-up image, only for the installation to fall at the first hurdle, it wouldn't even execute. I noticed that the icon alongside it in explorer looked like an old DOS application rather than what I would expect for a windows application (nice icon). No matter what I tried, moving to various different folders, giving the run command from a DOS box, I just kept getting a DOS style bad file or command error, etc. I can only assume the downloaded file was corrupt.

So it looks like destiny taking a hand and it isn't meant to be on my system ;D I will give it one last shot, fresh download 23.7MB on dial-up (sigh) sometime in the week before the 24th.
