Unfortunately, due to a PC crash, I lost my copy of ZONER PHOTO STUDIO PRO edition, given away here a few months ago.
The HOME edition is still a very good piece of software but not a GREAT one for me since it doesn't support RAW images.
Anyway THUMBS UP from me!

Hello,

Nice to be back here. As usual, we won't be responding to praise or blame, since responding to those doesn't help anyone out, but we will be answering any questions and clearing up any confusion that we see, so if you're not sure about anything, just say so. Of course, another visitor may beat us to the punch - people here are pretty quick!

Things look quiet so far, though I'm sure they'll blow up in a few hours as the USA starts to wake up.

Just to verify, Baritac (3) is right: the Home Edition doesn't support plugins. Giovanni (8) is mostly right: Home doesn't have the RAW module, although you can still browse and full-size view RAWs.

Here's a short Pro/Home comparison chart:

Tony (9): This GotD provides Build 7.

This publisher is a frequent contributor here and their programs do well in the voting. I have Zoner Photo Studio 14 Pro from an earlier giveaway so I am not sure that I will try this. However if you are in need of this type of program you should check this one out.

Thank you GOTD team and Zoner Software.

The program offered today is a nice one.
You'll be able to edit your pics with many tools, share them and so on.
But, to use your photoshop plugins, you have to buy the PRO version
for the Home one, offered here, does NOT handle external plugins.

Use the free version, but whatever you do, don't fork out money for the pro version.

I have used their "50% offer" last time to upgrade to pro. Within two months after I have paid they updated to version 15.

Fully expecting a free upgrade to 15 as I have just bought it, I realized I was expected to pay full price! I have tried to reason with them, but they have become so abusive and aggressive that I just deleted their software and cut my losses. Their licensing agreement is totally unfair towards customers.

I moved to one of their gazillion competitors and never looked back. Whatever you do read their licensing terms. They are probably planning to release a new version very soon and you will be stuck with the old version (without any further updates or patches), unless you pay again. Don't get fooled by them!

Luckily for me after many years with GOTD and many, many other purchases these guys were the only ones ever to make me regret a software purchase.

Thanks GOTD
