Photogenics still available to buy new!

[AJS]

Well being one of those guys on that thread :-o
I run or have run Photogenics version 5 on Windows XP ( windows native version), Amiga forever (3.1 Amiga version)
A4000 PPC/060 with Picasso IV and OS3.9 and currently a MicroA1 with OS4, I've had the odd glitch on all OS versions but its hardly unusable I mean what software doesn't throw a glitch every now and then :-D
It could do with being Updated sure, maybe Discreetfx might ask Paul if that's possible by a 3rd party






( on the Amiga side I have had every version)

It's good to see that Paul Noland, original author of Photogenics, is still develop/supporting this fine piece of software, eventhough it has been ported to windows... I don't see a link on the main Idruna site to the page for the Amiga version and the page does not display the amiga release version, although DiscreetFX claims that it is version 5.

Photogenics2 was originally distributed by Almatheria, who shanked Paul out of the rights to the program. He spent some time in court securing the rights to the name and program code of Photogenics. Our computer club, STAG, helped Paul distribute/sell Photogenics4 at AmiWest in 1999.

Will I purchase the new version for my Amiga? Eventually. Will I invest 600 plus $ for the windows version? Very doubtful. Besides, I've already spent hundreds on Photoshop upgrades for the Athlon.

That $600 is for the HDR version you can still get the Windows version for $79  actually the HDR is on offer $399 at the moment :-)

In a world of graphics packages that now try to be all things to all people now, the differences in who this program would appeal to. I would consider this program for anyone who really wants paint type features. If you need to touch up a photo, ImageFX would be your package.

Actually I use Photogenics for touching up most of my photos, clone tool, tinting, transparency, Titles etc and ImageFX for adding Effects and cropping ,distortions etc

I have some questions:

1) Does anyone know why there's no link to this page from Idruna's store page?

2) There's a manual?  Is it in PDF format?  Can it be loaded into aPDF (handles ver 1.3) w/o errors or will I need to print it off on a PC?

3) Which version is it, 5.0?

I do plan to purchase this.

Hi Rabbi

1) Well you can get to it from the Idruna website but it is obscure and in a very convoluted way (more by luck)  :-o
 
2) Docs and  4 tutorials come in HTML format there are 2 more later ones on the website

3) yes its version 5 (Amiga version should be release 121)
