<description><![CDATA[Hello,

First off, a huge THANKS to the GotD public for the huge response to yesterday's giveaway and for all the comments, even the critical ones -- without criticism, praise loses its meaning. :-)

Here are some answers to fill things in for people checking in after the giveaway, or those still awaiting answers after their questions during it.

Re #28:
For technical reasons we currently use a unified help for all the different editions. It does mention on the main page that it relates to the PRO version and that not all features are present in HOME, but I understand that can be overlooked.

Re #30:
Contact Sheets are also in version 13, including ZPS 13 Home.

Re #39:
For a feature list, see elsewhere in the comments, where other users have helpfully discussed what's in the various versions of the program. Regarding button size, the is an option to switch to big buttons! To use it, use the Settings menu's Customize... item, in the Customize window switch to the Toolbars tab, and then click on the "Large Icons" option.

Re #41:
Please contact Sales Support regarding this and we'll help you get to the bottom of it. Thanks!

Re #52:
Just one thing that's often misunderstood: we're not out there to compete with the pure image editors; we're here to provide something for start-to-finish, with the understanding that the user may want to supplement that with other task-specific programs that go into a lot more depth on specific tasks. That's one of the reasons while it's unlikely that multiple layers will be added to the Editor module anytime soon: no standardized picture format supports layers. (PSD isn't a standard and it's not even public; it's just dominant due to Adobe's own dominance.) If Zoner starts saving to, say for example, "ZPF - Zoner Photo Format" so that we can store layers in your pictures, then there goes the ability to e.g. open up your favorite noise remover to do noise removal jobs that go beyond our abilities. Let alone the time when someone who didn't read the manual (who does?) sends their grandpa a ZPF and gets angry when he can't open it.

In short: for layer work, use a dedicated editing program. We certainly won't be offended!

Re #54:
A big thank-you to you, Mike, for doing our work for us right when it was needed the most! That was great!

Re #56:
The Compare Images function in the PRO Edition can do this; the HOME Edition does not have a feature for doing this. 

Re #57:
Please contact support (use the Sales Support form on our website) for help with offline installation - it's normally no problem but it will be a bit tricky with the GotD, so drop us a line.

Re #58:
Ah, the eternal balance between providing enough information on the one hand, and bogging everyone down with details needed by only a few percent on the other - it's always a hard call. Sorry to have caused extra trouble all the same.

Re #61:
On the question of the intriguing build 7, which is not normally available yet - see #20. During next week we'll be rolling build 7 out the normal way as well.

Re #62:
On question 1: Official registration is not available for the GotD version due to the absence of a code - we regret this, but no-code is the way we have to do it to honor GotD rules. They are nice to us, we try to be nice back!

On question 2: There's in-program help and there's a downloadable manual at:
http://download1.zoner.com/binary/zps13help_en.pdf

There is also a tutorials page, located at:
http://www.zoner.com/ww-en/support/tutorials

Re #67:
Installation does not normally require a reboot - some special circumstance must have been involved in this case.

Re #68:
Zoner Photo Studio does not take separate programs as plug-ins, but you can add a right-click item for easy opening up of a picture in some other program from inside Zoner Photo Studio. To do so, use the "Helper Programs" section of the program preferences (Settings | Preferences...). Once you're done your work in that window, the file types you selected will have "Applications" as the last item in their right-click menu; beneath "Applications" are all the helper programs you added for that format.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Amazing software that I am using many years. Versatile, easy to use, fast to show and edit photos. But for professional use, there are better specialized softwares for panoramas, noise reduction, 3D images - would it be possible to cooperate with them as a plugin to Zoner Photo Studio?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don't understand why a simple photo software like todays would require a reboot?

That is quite irritating, and def something they should change. The average customer will actually react badly to that, if they had a slow computer or kept it on for most of the time then a restart for this would be annoying them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I really don't understand when something is FREE, why complain?  If you don't want, don't like, can't use, just don't download it.... you have LOST Nothing!  

If you know of a BETTER Freebie, then just say "try this, it's free too...

Is that so hard to do?  Please don't take offense, but just think about it.... IT'S DOGGONE FREE!!!

And it has been a lot of GOOD free stuff here to download...

<description><![CDATA[I am pleasantly impressed with this give away, I did install the earlier version of this program on one of my other laptops, this time I installed on my older desktop(XP SP3, 500G HD, 2G RAM) Works pretty well, better then one of the previous giveaway's. the panorama maker(don't recall what the name of that poc was). I was able to create several panorama's that the previous program couldn't figure out. I played with the 3D creator a few times as well, funky. Thanks GAOTD and Zoner]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks #36 Zoner Tech Support for the response to my comment.  I never had the problem with updating and loosing the full version gaotd with your software.  It was with other developers.  It is great to hear that won't happen with Photo Studio 13.  Thank you for responding to my question.  To have the developer take the time to join in our comments is a rare treat and says much of your integrity.

I have spent the day starting to get a couple thousand photos and videos cataloged with PS13 and I am very impressed!!!  I accomplished more today cataloging with Zoner Studio 13 than I have in months using other software.  The interface is fantastic, speed is remarkable and editing features a nice addition.  

I make folk instruments and sell them online at my website, eBay and ArtFire so I am forever taking pictures for my listings and for customer updates on special order instruments. Until now I had pics/vids everywhere in various states of editing and really wanted to create proper archive files.  Thanks to PS13 I am now well on my way to getting my images organized. I especially like being able to review video with PS13 as well as photos.  Sure helps when sorting out both.

Though PS13 won't replace all my image editing software it is definitely in the top three.  CodedColor PhotoStudio, Sagelight Image Editor and Zoner Photo Studio make a great combination for me.  For cataloging it's Zoner PS13 hands down and has made a dreaded chore of cataloging actually enjoyable.  I have only scratched the surface on all this software will do and look forward to learning more.

PS13 is without doubt one of my all time top ten gaotd downloads.  I definitely have the Pro version on my software wish list.  If you haven't tried PS13 really need to get this gaotd and test drive it.  Their website provides loads and loads of helpful how to info and tips!

Thank you very much Zoner and GAOTD.

<description><![CDATA[Just two questions from a computer newbie.
   1)   How do you register Zoner Photo Studio 13 Home?  After  downloading, looking under registration  it ask for code number to register.  Where do you get that?
   2)   To evaluate and know how to operate the program, where do do you learn how? Instruction book(online or do you have to buy it somewhere).  Pray for inspiration?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appropriated.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I had Zoner Home 13 Build 3 from the last giveaway. I used the update through the program. It downloaded the installed the updates pretty quickly. The program is still registered in my name. For some reason it only updated me to build 6. When I told it to check for updates again it informed me there were no further updates. I will just update again at a later date. Thank you GAOTD team for all of your efforts and thank you to the publisher, Zoner software, for your gift.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[First class, first rate software and all at a very inviting price.  Watch out Adobe, there's someone nipping at your heals.  Any chance of seeing the Pro version on GOTD?  Maybe I'm being too greedy but it never hurts to ask.  Thanks Zoner and GOTD.]]></description>
