Two weeks ago, when Photo Stamp Remover was offered here, I complained that most of my SoftOrbits giveaways were inexplicably back to trial, and it appeared I wasn't the only one and we wondered wether that wasn't a scheme to push us to buy the licenses. But just after the end of the giveaway there was a nice post from SoftOrbits apologizing for that and giving us codes (and 3 days to activate them) for 3 of their programs. I was soo happy the following day to reactivate my 3 programs and announce the good news to those who might have missed it! At least we knew of SoftOrbits good faith and good will, if not of good coding. But I realized soon that one after the other, they were surreticiously going back to trial in my back while I was activating another one, and I spent the 3 days in the endless process of reactivating, because trying to keep all your softOrbits programs working is like solving a Rubik's Cube: while you arrange one side, you mess up the others. Now that the 3 days have ended, out of my 5 SoftOrbits giveaways, 4 are back to trial again, including my only 2 weeks old Photo Stamp Remover.

I only hope at least licensed users can reactivated at will, but I am not much tempted to test it and buy. As I am an incurable optimist, I will nevertheless bother to reinstall this one, and when it is gone, well... there will always be FotoSketcher, free, portable, and by far the best in this category:

Installed and registered without problems on a Win10 Pro 64 bit system. Seems, that Win10 problems are solved. A clean install. The registration thanks in the name of "Photo Editor"

A Russian company from Smolensk with address and phone. We had many products from this company. I hope, that we do not run in the problems, we have had in the past. You remember the deactivation of previous Softorbits products?

The last Sketch Drawer version 2.0 we had on January 5, 2015. Here are the old reviews:

A modern resizable user interface in grey colors opens. You add your photo, define the sketch parameters

and ... looking for the file properties the program stops working

I restarted the program, selected the same image again and converted to a sketch. It takes a very long time - in my case minutes for finishing the sketch:

Selecting the "file information" again, the program stops working, can be repeated.

A nicely made sketch drawer, some errors should be removed before offering this program again to the public. May work also with "file information" on an other OS.

I'll keep it - seems to be a good revised program.
Thanks Softorbits and GOTD

I dislike this software:
1. Hardware-bound
2. looses the Liz-key someday
3. new activation kills lizences of other SoftOrbits-Application in some cases

Program is very unstable on my computer, tested it on some 5 Mp photo's. Sometimes conversion stops after 5 minutes and the green bar is not progressing at about 90%, sometimes the program will not convert after clicking on running, sometimes the app crashes trying to convert a photo. Only one out of five is processed in a relative normal way and a saveable result is produced. That is bad...

I can see from the comments most who tried this program have problems,except Karl, who will keep it. Most unusuall? Well, I am skepticall and will not keep it, not even try it. SoftOrbits software are licensekillers in my experience, so they are banned in my PC.
