I started these 3 threads about the availability of Photogenics 5 on Saturday.

http://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1055&forum=7 http://www.amiga.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=39634&forum=9&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=0 http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=23939&forum=27

There has been quite a lot interest over 900 views here 400+ on Amiga.org and 150+ on Amigans. I have not posted this to the MorpOS forums or an non English speaking forums.

It seems that despite the fact that this software hasn't been developed people are still very much interested in it, there have even been a few more sales generated because of my posts. I hope their satisfied with it, I know DonnieA2.

Elwood had this to say on Amigans, which shows that further development hasn't been completely ruled out.

Quote:

I talked with Paul several months ago. He is very busy with the programs he ...sells. He is not against the idea of an OS4 version of Photogenics but not until the market is commercially interesting again.

In the link that I found on the DiscreetFX website was put there by Bill Panagouleas to so that people might buy it and encourage further development. I PM'd bill who confirmed the link still worked and he said he is good friends with Paul Nolan.

Bill has started several initiatives for the Amiga including getting the Video Toaster source opened up, the Amizilla bounty and the retro game creation contest, so this could lean in our favour too.

@Rob

I have not seen Paul since AmiWest 1 but still email him once in awhile
about the Linux port he did.I would love it if anybody has the key for
Amiga/Photogenics to contact me as I lost mine and it won't run without
it :(

@alanwall

Got Photogenics 5 for Amiga, but bit limited on 030 50Mhz with AGA. Can see its potential on a faster system, but it's pretty much resigned to an expensive IFF to JPEG convertor on my system!

Perhaps the positive results from this poll, will encourage idruna software to make a "30 day trial" downloadable version, similar to their other products.
For those of us who either, don`t have the money right now or are not sure if it`s what they`re looking for.

Richard.

@Rob

Yes, depending on the price of course.

@Draby

It would certainly be nice if something positive came out of this. We certainly need more positivity around here.

Sales might get boosted if OS4 & Hardware or MorphOS & hardware were readily available . . .

You should have left another option in the poll for 'no, I already bought it'. I feel like I supported this product and I only received a beta quality program. I wouldn't pay for a newer version until I get a more stable (and hopefully faster) version of what I paid for. I have nothing against Paul or this program, which I like, but I feel that there are better places to put the money with high quality products from companies that have been unrelenting in their support of the Amiga like ImageFX and Pagestream. Lets support the good products from good companies we still have first.

This is coded in (Amiga) E?

I voted yes! I bought version 5 a few years ago from Kicksoft (I think) at the Huddersfield Amiga show. I`d love an OS4 native version or even just a few more enhancements.

It works great on my A1 XE G4 and I often demonstrate it at my local camera club (well the bits I know) and it does run on a PC under Amiga Forever so there is a potentially large userbase out there if only we can ween people off pirated copies of Photoshop.

Photogenics + Amiga Forever costs less than Photoshop Elements 5 here in the UK at the moment anyway.

Andy.

I voted yes but that IS dependant on me geting OS4 capable hardware DAMN IT!!!

@sicky

Indeed

I bought Pg 2 years ago ( the one where you got the manual and free T-shirt) and Pg for Windows as well... Which still gets extensive use.

I'd definitely buy an updated version for Os4
