Virus Scan for Home Photo Studio Gold

Amit 1) Can this software add torn edges like effects as eg. snagit does - but to a batch of multiple images - even large number of images.

2) And also other effects to multiple images in batch ?

3) Is there a complete listing of effects - could not find deatiled but only short list on site.

Lesley Knight Hi Amit,
1) you can achieve torn edges effects with the ancient photo filter
2) effects are not applied in batch
3) the complete list of effects with detailed descriptions and samples can be found in the program manual - you're welcome to see it in the trial version

Amit Ok thanks, but without batch processing - which is much needed for people with large no. of images - this is not the fully usage of an image processor.

Any info on whether batch processing would be added soon. Without it its missing quite much.

Amit Is there any other image software currently on your own site or by you which has the MAINLY functionality of applying the effects - mainly - special effects of Lightning, weather effects and 3D composition, to MULTIPLE IMAGES IN BATCH ?

Have seen some list on
http://www.softpedia.com/...-3959.html
but not sure which one would fulfill the above condition.

I would be intrested, even if its costlier, but these effects (and more) in batch processing.

Thanks.

Ralph Bressler I have trusted BDJ and their offers until...just now! Neither the vendor nor BDJ has bothered to respond despite multiple posts. I even broke down and posted on Facebook as BDJ asked. Nothing! A good deal is NOT a good deal if you can't get what you paid for. I guess I will have to contact Paypal for satisfaction or the credit card company that I use. I suggest everyone take a lesson from this and be very cautious what offers you take advantage of on BDJ since some offers take advantage of you!

OK the number for BDJ is a 646 area code which is based in Manhattan. Since there have been no recent posts, I hope everything is OK with Nico and the gang. The software vendor is in Moscow, Russia so they have no excuse for not answering multiple requests!

Ralph Bressler OK, I bought the Gold even though I had the Deluxe from a previous BDJ. I never got an e-mail with the code for the deluxe and I forgot about it.

Here are the problems for today.

1) Bag icon appears on top line asking to "Buy Full version"
2) Menu choice under help suggests "Buy Deluxe version"
3) Right-click menu has some green arrows and unintelligible labels with accented characters

I am using Win 7 Home Premium.

Scott Van Leeuwen I hate software with limited activations. On many occasions when Windows starts lagging, I re-install it. After a while of activations, you get the message, you have reached your activation limit. I stay away from software that uses that method. I prefer a software key that does not have to be verified by a server somewhere in thee world.

Lesley Knight Hi Robert, Home Photo Studio can process photos in batch and apply actions when you do batch processing. You can learn more in this video demo: http://home-photo-studio....-batch.php
As for the unique features, we can mention a large set of image filters, applied with a couple of mouse clicks - there are illumination, nature, optical, geometric, plastic effects, and a lot more. Another benefit you might appreciate is a collection of 750+ photo decoration templates (great for greeting cards) and 200+ picture frames.

Nigel Brewster @Robert Bull When you test out software you got to be fair. It does do Batch processing like Lesley said. Which plenty of free one's do you mean?

Robert Bull @Scott Van Leeuwen, Nigel Brewster: Come on, chaps. I didn't give a review. For my idea of a review, see the "mini-reviews" on DonationCoder. Instead I asked questions based on older comments from when this was on BdJ before ("Load 40 Older Comments"). Clearly I should have said so, and allowed for advances in the program in the meantime. I'm a long-term transparency-film landscape photographer. It's never been about "art," or being "creative," whatever those terms mean now. I don't see myself as an artist. Instead it's been my way of paying homage to the beauty of Creation, or its strangeness, or majesty, or grimness, or whatever. Because photography's been akin to a religious experience, I've been dismayed by the digital culture of "manipulate everything." Call it digital art if you want to, but the results are not generally meaningful to me. Manipulation didn't start with digital, of course, but digital has made it so routine that it's hard to see manipulation as other than all-pervasive, and more difficult than ever to trust a photograph. Meanwhile, any photographic process has its limitations, and I understand a need to find ways to cope with excess contrast, colour balance, and so on, the more streamlined the better.

Roderick Nicolson Hi.
I bought 'Home Photo Studio GOLD (19738-101)' last June, here on BitsDuJour, but what I actually got, looking at the features of the GOLD version here now, and on the Home Photo Studio website, was the 'Home Photo Studio STANDARD' version. I think this was a mistake and I'm puzzled as to how I ended up with the STANDARD version as it definitely states in the email (where the download link was) that it is the GOLD version I was sold. Cost price was the same as is on here now.

Can you help please?

Lesley Knight Hi Roderick, the developers are working on new features all the time, and some of the current ones were not there six months ago. We released a major update in November, so some of the features may be quite new for you (changing background, blurring background, and Tilt-Shift effect are definitely new). If you purchased your copy in June 2014, you are entitled to a free upgrade. Just contact techsupport@ams-soft.com if you need further advice on how to download the upgrade for your registered version.

Roderick Nicolson Okay. Thanks Lesley. I have also just noticed I wasn't the only one that had problems over the version that was being delivered.
I hope you are right. There does appear to be an awful lot missing in the one I received. Possibly about 6 things missing on the start-up. Why on earth there is no indication on the program which one it is, is beyond me.
Any way thanks for your reply. I'll see if I can get an update from them.

Roderick Nicolson Got the update and it has indeed solved all my problems. Thanks Lesley.

This new version of Home Studio Gold is very good - better than the older one. I like it, and is exactly the same as the one up on your video.

The pseudo HDR has been very effective at enhancing some of my photos.
The background removal tool does it's job okay too, but it would be nice to have a clean up and restore tool so that if we go too far in on a subject being cropped it would be easy to restore that part back again, or, if too far out, it could be nudged or rubbed back in again before completing the crop.
Not everyone has the steady hand that was used on the video. Thanks.

Please Send me details on what offer can I get for such extending, upgrading to multiple licenses, with buy link and prices.

Yes, effects can be applied to many images in batch. You need to create an action first, and then apply the action for multiple photos.
Here is a video lesson on using creating actions: http://home-photo-studio....basics.php
When you create your own action, it is stored in "User Actions", and you can then choose it while preparing the batch process.

H. H. Hallo,
trying home photo studio I have the following question:
when choosing image - curves one can select the channel "brightness".
I had hoped that this would lead to the nice effects as the software "fotor" has
(when choosing and eddinting "curve" - not altering the colors too much.
But when using "brightness" curve in home photo studio it seems to me that the effect is more like in other programs called "rgb" (meaning modifying r,g,b channel at once) than only modifying brightness. Could you please tell me if there is an effect-curve available / planned like available in fotor.,
If that would be available in home photo studio it would be an argument for home photo studio since one could save the adjustment of the curve as action (this is not possible in fotor until now)
thank you for clarifying in advance

Richy So judging from the video tutorials on YouTube, for some reason, this product is called Photo Works Intelligent Photo Editor, but not using that name here (copyrights?), just Home Photo Studio Gold by AMS Software, which is based in Estonia.
I don't find a problem with the software, just that it's not being offered to us in its' original name...nearly a "bait-and-switch", but no, it's not. I'll still get it for the price.

30 minutes later: Ordered software, PayPro Global didn't like my email address but charged my AmEx, said they'll refund within3-5 days! Hmmm....
Ordered software, this time my trusted address "based in Switzerland"...no problem, but now had to call again because they wanted to know "What kind of card was it?" and "What bank issued the card?"...WTF?
They also wanted to know my home address (for software electronically distributed? Huh?), but they got the kind of card and bank and that was enough.

Just now: Finally got the link to this thing...BitsDuJour should look into these inconveniences caused by pay link vendors...I've ordered before from here and never had to call anyone about anything...until today!

Home Photo Studio and PhotoWorks are both made by our company, but they're completely different products. You'll notice that even if you just take a quick look at interface screenshots or the video demos. We recommend PhotoWorks to those who are looking for a photo editor like Lightroom - it has a histogram, HSL settings, pro-level tools like Curves, Graduated Filter, Adjustment brush etc. And Home Photo Studio is great for those who are more into making designs and montages - it has a set of brushes, selection tools, and a huge collection of design templates.

I'm sorry you had those issues when ordering with PayPro. Not sure why they had to check all those details, but it's probably their standard security procedures for the second order when the first one failed.

Paul User This is great software, the best photo editor I have personally ever used. It's fast, stable and intuitive. I have no connection whatsoever with AMS Software... just a satisfied user who purchased via the BDJ offer last time around. Buy with confidence.

denis morrow Hi, I got Home Photo Studio Deluxe v 9.0 some years ago. What is the main differences between Deluxe v9.0 and today's offer of Gold 10.0? On the website it does not mention either version, and no comparison table. My HPS Deluxe version asks me to upgrade to Gold without telling what advantages are, but some items on the the Effects menu tells me to upgrade to Gold,

fpi fpi Since May 2021, this is the 16th BitsDuJour offer for the same version 10 (July 22, 2017).
Is this a discontinued program?
