Downloaded easily, if a bit longwinded. In use it seems very fiddly and I could not get any improvement on the original pictures. In fact, it made them worse.

Uninstalled.

Yes Soft orbits apparently removes other soft orbit GOTD programs when you install one of their more recent GOTD offers. This would seem to be more than questionable. In my opinion, it is theft and GOTD should not allow it. In my opinion, SoftOrbits should be boycotted until they change their policy.

Soft Orbits also seem to immediately offer, (the same day that you accept one of their GOTD offers) an update to the day's offer. Question is: does that then erase your GOTD and put you in a pay category? Don't know but perhaps GOTD can check. GOTD is great but it should policy some of these offers.

This program was a complete waste of my time! I do not comment a lot in this site, but i have found lots of good programs. This one first offers me a new version for a fee. This one is 1.1 and the update was to be 1.3 and I decided to try first the free version. Lucky for me that I made a copy of my photo to try. I left the settings as default an run the process. Al I got was a totally black photo, completely damage. Sorry but this is not a way to promote software.

Soft Orbits are makers of very good programs however their marketing is a strange and questionable one , they give you a program as a "giveaway "but first remove any other "give away "you had from them before, leaving you without a program you might have been depending on ,their programs are also to be found under different company names begging the question who are they working for or with , but all in all their programs are usually good just be warned you can loose any other you also have from them .

After reading how this programme apparently UNinstalls previous programmes made by SoftOrbits (and I certainly do have some) -- I thought I would try to defeat that by renaming the installation file.

But oh-oh, no you CAN'T. Because in the ReadMe it says:

PLEASE, DO NOT RENAME THE INSTALLATION FILE, OTHERWISE THE ACTIVATION WON'T WORK!!!

Well, that was enough for me. I went back and read several more negative appraisals that had appeared in the meantime -- and I am pulling out. I won't be installing this programme of debatable utility.

Franzis (in Germany) WERE having a discount to $20 for their Sharpening programme recently -- I think I will go back to them and see if it is still available, as I would trust them more.....

I do wonder though, now that someone has made the point, just how it might handle already-in-focus parts of the image. That is a point I had never even considered.... It's certainly worth thinking about -- and perhaps checking out, because unless there is an algorithm that prevents "over-sharpening", you might just end up with the reverse problem....
