Appears that this is the full version (not crippled). 17 must be coming out soon.

As 16 was officially just released, I think this is probably only the 30-day demo version.

I've played with a couple of versions of this software. Not as powerful as Photoshop, but not bad either. This would be very good software for someone who wants a full-feature package but does not want to pay-by-the-month or buy software outright yet. Does layers, has a RAW module and does HDR processing, cloning, as well as all the basic functions.

When I went to the site, a bar popped up on the top of the screen offering CS2 for free. I'm not going to try to get it since I don't need it, but that hasn't been available for a long time, despite being "offered" in several places.

I downloaded the free Zoner, but I won't install it just yet. It might be one of those programs that tries to load a dozen parasite programs.

For $41, you get free lifetime updates.

Yeah, looks like that. I couldn't find a Mac version, and I think Jerry might be on to something. I'm happy with the editors I have. Why try another that probably doesn't come close to what I am using.

Don't do the 'recommended' installation, do 'Custom' installation and make sure you read each page before clicking the next button. That way you can un-check all the BS they try to slip in during the 'recommended' installation process.

Right, but that just adds to the nuisance factor.

Even some "name" software can load up your machine with crud if you're not observant. The Oracle Java installer/updater, for example, will add an "ask.com" search bar to your browser if you just keep clicking the "next" button. It ALWAYS pays to read each screen of an installer!
