It DLs and installs cleanly and comes with a small selection of templates which may be of interest to some. But the GUI is nothing to write home about and the developer has still not fixed a useless left/right scrolling selection of thumb nailed images -- indeed, the developer seems to have created this app and forgotten it: today's version is no different to the 2010 launch product. Such inertia may have been understandable were Watermark Express to be the best thing since sliced bread. But it isn't. Nowadays, it's not even the best thing since stale bread: Anders Pedersen's TSR Watermark Image Software (yeah, a shorter, snappier title might've helped) does almost everything -- repeat: everything -- Watermark Express does, but is continuously updated in light of user feedback: http://www.watermark-image.com/version.aspx The only significant difference between the two is that PixelApp Studio's Watermark Express costs -- inexplicably -- $29.95. Whereas Lars Pedersen's TSR Watermark Image Software costs. . . Nothing. Quite why PixelApp Studio is persisting on with a 2-year-old undeveloped product and hoping to get a wildly over-priced $29.95 for it, when its principal opposition is entirely free and is constantly being refined, escapes me. This is not the first occasion when a commercial developer has come to GAOTD with a product whose existence has already been rendered pointless because of existing freeware; it probably won't be the last. But really, what a waste of time it is for all concerned: the GAOTD community, and the developer's. Thanks then, GAOTD, but no thanks.]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2012 21:37:18 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159920 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159919 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:38:38 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159919 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159918 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:22:46 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159918 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159917 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:39:46 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159917 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159916 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:37:43 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159916 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159915 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:52:11 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/watermark-express/#comment-159915
