What is Wintonic? If you want GIMP then go to GIMP.org you can download it there. I just downloaded it to test. Just got my first digital camera today. I think I would subscribe to the Photoshop CC.


Congratulations, D ...

What did you finally wind up getting ... may I ask?

WinTonic, itself - is a virus?

And C-Net springs it on you, and tells you you will be charged $29.95 a month for using it?

Now ... THAT's a racket!!!!!


I don't think it's a virus but I think it's a malware or adware.

I get a Nikon Df. The WU-1a and I am playing with it and having trouble taking pictures in portrait orientation.

Didn't want to have anything to do with video, huh?

WU-1a? ... That's what, now - the mobile wireless adapter?

Why don't you try removing it, and then shooting in Portrait Orientation, again?

Or, is this to do with the handling, D?

I've heard the Df is awkward to hold in Portrait Orientation ... why don't you get the Battery Grip for it? ... That'll take care of that!!!!

Well I have the problem specifically with the WU-1a and the phone app that is using the phone to remotely viewing and shooting. It works but I have problem in portrait mode as the phone refuse to display the correct orientation. However, I already posted a thread about this.

No I don't want anything to do with video because you know what? I bought a nice super 8 movie camera and it proved that I simply can't shoot movie. I like the Df because because of the handling and I have no problem holding it in any orientation. No I don't want the battery grip but Nikon doesn't make a battery grip for the Df any way.

It's a bit too big but I am happy with it. Attached a pic to compare the size of the Df vs the F3.

Then, I suspect it's a problem with the phone, then, D ....

No, I knew Nikon doesn't, but there are Third Party Battery Grips for the Nikon Df .... Google it, D ... yes, it IS quite a bit bigger than your F3, huh?

I think it's definitely taller, and a little deeper, too, but the F3 has a slight edge in the width department .....

Why search for Wintonic? ... I have no want or need for it.

I do have a perfectly good virus checker and removal tool ... 360 ... does maintenance, too ...

I don't NEED another one ....


I've found Norton to be terrible. You need to get your computer scanned and have all the junk removed.

Why has this thread turned into something completely not what the op was asking about?

C-Net has taken them all over, and has front-loaded the downloads with WinTonic - for which there's a $30 monthly fee, which is automatically taken out of your credit/debit card account, every month.

Sell some of those cameras and get PSCC.

Sooner or later they're all going to get into your wallet. Breakdown and purchase a good software program for less than $100, most under $75. Luminar, Capture One, Paint Shop, Adobe Elements, Affinity Photo5, etc.....

What about FastStone - is it still free? Thought by many to be one of the best free programs.

None of that is true.

I believe it is, Teton ... but, so far, I've not been able to "grasp" it ... the downloads keep dropping out ... kinda given up on that one ....
