  1. Installed and activated without any problems on Win XP SP3.

    I am an amateur photographer and use PS-El6. This sounded like an excellent idea. In practice, it leaves anomalies along the course of where the wire I tried it on, was removed from. I did a better job just using the healing brush tool. And have done a much better job previously, using the clone tool.

    All in all, I don’t think a lot of this plug-in. I intend to uninstall it, if that is possible.

    It may be useful if the wire(s) cross a clear area, but no use amongst trees or other background objects.

  2. *From a VERY experienced Photoshop user*

    Does NOT completely remove wires.

    I tried this on a few photos and it kind of lightened the wires, but when viewed at full size the lines were still visible.

    When using it on a wire that was close to the streetlight on a pole it did created a funky sort of pixelated mark.

    These photos I tried this on have complex backgrounds. The wires are against trees and mountains.

    Doesn’t work at all on wires that are vertical on a pole or looped.

    When installing it would not allow me to choose where I wanted it to go. My plugins are in a folder outside of Photoshop (as Adobe strongly recommends), and it would not allow me to install there, only into Photoshop’s directory.

    When you launch the plugin it launches in a window that resembles plugins from 1998. You can NOT make its window full screen nor can you re-size its window. I was working with a photo that is 41.778 inches wide X 27.778 inches in height. Too much awkward scrolling both horizontally and vertically with such an unfriendly window.

    Honestly you are better off using Photoshop’s own patch tool.

    29.95 is far too much to ask for what this -doesn’t do-.

  3. Thanks; this giveaway will inspire me to reinstall my favorite photo editing software. I’ve not bothered for a couple of years. :)

    b.t.w. there will be no game giveaway again. Check out the game discussion forums for recent game postings (look for week 77 and I’ll be posting some more later today and/or tomorrow week 78). Westward II is available for free from Sandlot games.
