Firstly, i'm not going to say much about the voting results for giveaways from this company, i guess most people know what 'm talking about. Let's put it like this, it's overly generous, every.single.time.

Since the vendor changed the promo activation storage some time ago, we are finally able to use multiple promo versions of different programs from this vendor simultaneously on the same PC, that's good. I know, it may sound weird because it should be a normal thing and expected and wouldn't require extra mentioning.

I loaded a 1280x1678 JPG picture (Skeletor Saves by Gnargleboy), i selected the Strong preset, pressed Run. Half way trough, everything seems fine, at around 80% it crashed. Ok, no problem, restart.

Same again but this time with the Medium preset, same as above.

Ok, last try. Now i'm using 1200x1200 HEX | Apey & The Pea cover in JPG format. Strong preset, crash at 80%, Medium, same, Soft, same.

I gave up now and uninstalled.

The download and install is quick and easy. I was expecting something more than the usual run of the mill program.
However , after trying it on several photos of different values, I find it is less effective than others that I now have.
Especially the auto part of it.
Thank you GOTD for the offering but I don't think that I will keep it.

I've tried the previous version of this giveaway when it was provided here quite some time ago. My conclusion: it's not much that you couldn't do with a contemporary image processing application (like the great Affinity Photo which
has several ways of sharpening an image).
For free, you can take today's offer, but I definitely wouldn't buy it (for $50).

Worked ok Win 10 x64 Pro. Upon initial part of install, program offers the means to get Serial via SO's site. There you pop in your usual name/email addy and up comes the Serial to enter for continuing with the paused initial installation.
Program has Undo, Batch, Image Correction & Reduce blurring w/ sliders for amounts.
Basic that way. Image Correction on a small file actually did tiny 'improve' and a surprise in file size reduction - likely due to program reducing it internally since didn't see a slider option to adjust. Most programs offer a percentage (default is to reduce to @90%). But this is first I've seen w/o that. Drag & drop. I guess the Batch Mode helps for down and dirty fast work.
Thanks GOTD for offer. Do note SO has a history of follow up email & prg offer nags.
