Hi there ! With this version of Photo Studio (Home Edition), you WON'T
be able to use any plugin. You'll have to give $35 for the PRO Edition
to use any Photoshop plugin !

Once upon a time there was a site called "giveawayoftheday.com" where it was possible to download and test the PRO version of pretty expensive software FREE of charge for 24 hours only!!

The main goal of this site was to give us a chance to assess the PRO version of expensive commercial programs out there, so as to decide whether or not it was worth buying them or upgrade to aa new bug free version at the price set by their developer or software company.

So my question is: what's the point of giving us for FREE (nearly always) the BASIC limited HOME edition or sometimes even an outdated old edition of nice programs like today's giveaway, and then urging us to buy the PROFESSIONAL one if we are eager to enjoy and use all the features, provided with the full version, missing in the GAOTD??

For instance, this GAOTD is a nice program but not a great one, because it's not the PRO VERSION which enables users to add any plugin of their choice: so how can I assess here the PRO version if I have to buy it??

And why should I give them 35 bucks if I can do the same things for FREE with great FREE photo manager tools like this one made by Microsoft???

And anyway, to manage and edit your digital photos you can also use the following two excellent free apps, if you wish to:


* KESTREL GX

And to easily and quickly sort and catalogue all your images, just use this tiny tool:

Hello Tom (#11):

Here's what was new in Zoner Photo Studio 13 Home:

Support for multiple Viewer tabs
Full 2-monitor support
Insert Symbol tool
Postcard maker

And here's what is new in Zoner Photo Studio 14 Home:

Easy uploading to Zonerama
Damaged Photograph effect

About an equal number of major features for each version are PRO-only. Then there are some minor perks and tweaks not in the lists above.

On the web site

http://www.zoner.com/ww-en/download-free-photo-program

there are two versions

1. Zoner Photo Studio 14 FREE
2. Zoner Photo Studio 14 PRO

The only "home" version I can find is an old version 11 which can be found on the "previous versions" page

http://www.zoner.com/ww-en/download/previous-versions

This giveaway installs as Zoner Photo Studio 14 Home, which doesn't seem to be a product yet or perhaps it's the free version rebadged?

We need some more information on what version we are looking at here.

Hello Fran(#66)

Sorry you feel uneasy with a software company supporting both paying and non-paying customers. :-(

I can sincerely say we haven't attempted to sell any copies of our software through this comment forum today. While I may have pointed out the additional features of our PRO Edition I have also pointed out our totally FREE edition for those looking for less. We have also ONLY responded to questions from GAOTD visitors seeking clarification in regards to Zoner Photo Studio features, activation and editions.

I must admit, "We are following every 'move/question' because our number one concern is customer satisfaction. FREE, HOME or PRO edition.

Once again, Sorry you feel intimidated by our support but our users are very important to us and we feel it is very important to monitor this site and answer as many questions...not sell..as possible.

Please take this message as sincere and non confrontational. :-)
