I waited and waited but never received an email!
Really wanted to work with this program!
Such is life!
Jack

Have everything to register it, but the program keep shut down when I open it ?? I have try to set it with administrator and also with windows 8/early but it does still shut down; i even clean the registry and junk files and restart the computer, and closed the antivirus...nothing helps ...
It open and after 2 seconds it close again
any suggestion ??

Easily got the user ID and registration code within 20 seconds because I am already a registered member of Franzis.
Installed and activated the software without any fuss and very quickly.
About the actual use of this software:
It is NOT easy to use for those unfamiliar with masking and photo editing.
The software interface is un-intuitive.
There is an online Help Manual, which is not too helpful.
You may need to view more Youtube videos demonstrating how to do it.
Incidentally, Adobe Photoshop Elements from quite a few versions back, already offer very easy photo masking.

I had no registration problems at all. Easy peasy.
I am surprised at how well this tool works. I wasn't expecting much and am pleasantly surprised. It does its job easily. No muss, no fuss. Nothing fancy and no real learning curve. I'm keeping it. Thank you Franzis and GAOTD!

Click internet button, get screen asking for code.Spent 30 minutes going NOWHERE!
If it dont work dont offer it.

Why does it bring up question marks on all of my pictures?

Never got my registration information email - just like so many others!

.
Why is it called Cut Out if it has no cut-out capability?

Nowhere can I find the "scissors" ( used as the program logo ) as a tool inside the program to actually "cut out" anything from a digital image file contents display.

Sad.

How do you even load a picture to work on?

You can't just click on a picture in the ( fast ! ) file explorer display in order to begin editing it ... when you click on a picture it gets big, then goes away if you actually try to do anything else with it other than say "ooo" and "ahh".

Oh, right-click to edit a picture.

Wow, they ought to tell every other program in the world that those other programmers got it wrong, clicking on things is the wrong way to select and open things, Franzis knows better, now it's the right-click that we all should start using from here on.

Don't point at things you want, like in the real-world.

And so on.

Nowhere is there a scissors.

Nowhere.

... typical German "we know more than you, you idiot peasant customer ... and we ain't telling!".

Franzis, are you there?

Comments?

I managed to register this program. You need to register with Franzis first.
I'm pleased they included a manual for this program as it's not easy to use and well take some time before I can evaluate as I need a better understanding of CutOut 5. No success on my first attempt so I'll need to study the manual more. But I gave this program a thumbs up as it has a lot of features and I like the way the program has been designed.

I don't know of any program that can separate fine strains of hair on a person's head from the back ground. It's a good test for this program that claims to separate the finest details. So for this reason I'll try this program, but I don't think it well work.
Anyone else tried this test?

Tried six times to put in the registration and had it resent 5 times, it keeps telling me I have the wrong registration key. Its now a 30 trial only as it wont permit any codes in to allow it to be free.

I'd like to see an undo (step(s)) function. Ctrl + Z as a shortcut.

I received the email right away, however when I clicked on the link, I got a 404 error (from Nginx).
I copied and pasted the link and it worked however, the page doesn't show any registration codes and it says I do not have any products registered.
How do I get the product and registration codes?
How annoying this is!

I keep getting your "Share and Download" page instead of the direct download file I used to get. You have changed something and not for the better. I have tried all the links on the page and they do not reply with an email notification. I have nothing being blocked and even tried the facebook share which also does not work.

At the moment your GOTD service is worthless to me.

My download of Cutout5standard from the GOTD provided link went fine without server delays and was quick. It was only then that I realized that this version is the same as the GOTD version 5.0.0.1 given out last time on 2018-03-23. Had I been made aware up front about it by either Franzis or GOTD, I would not have needed to download (wasting bandwith and time) on something I have already installed and still working fine on my machine.

I don't mind being offered an old version, so long as the version is stable (not buggy) and is complete (not with certain functions/features missing or disabled). I do mind products whose licenses expire in under one year and will ignore them and see no point installing them.

Franzis may be giving us old versions to try out, but at least the licenses provided on their products don't expire.

For lots of people photo or image editing is about adding a few automated filters -- Instagram provides 40+ -- but for more serious editing, you're often going to isolate parts of the image that you want to work with. You do that by creating masks, interchangeably called selections. And once you isolate an object in a photo, creating a mask that covers everything else, you can alter just that selected object, or you can copy & paste what you've selected somewhere else, like on top of another photo. Or you can reverse that mask so it covers the object, editing or replacing everything else in the photo.

Most image editing software has its own tools for creating masks or selections, and nowadays those can be quite good in apps like PaintShop Pro &/or Photoshop. It seems that rather than compete with these built-in tools, Franzis markets its Cutout app as a tool to make replacing the backgrounds in photos as easy & accurate as possible. Cutout is still a masking tool, a bit similar I think to the highly rated Topaz Remask, but with this focus on replacing backgrounds, maybe they feel they'll attract more buyers that are a little less experienced at photo editing, who may not know yet that that's how masking in an image editor works.

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try the Franzis Cutout GOTD if you think it might be useful, assuming they fix the reported registration problems -- normally Franzis giveaways work just fine, so I'd assume this is some temporary glitch. Cutout may or may not let you create masks easier &/or better than the image editing software you're using -- that depends on the software you're using -- or maybe you just want to change backgrounds without getting further into image editing. And if you like the software, Ashampoo is selling version 6 std. for $19.99, or once you get on their mailing list [or if you already are], Franzis has a 50% off sale on Cutout & Sharpen products today & tomorrow.

Can anyone please confirm that this is/or is not a 30-day trial? It's not worth the possible time involved to download for 30 days.

Am I being conned here or am I doing something wrong,
I have registered the program, it starts ok but says it is only a 30 day trial!

Their registration-request web page wasn't active earlier, but it's working fine now (10am EST.) It was a cinch to copy-and-paste all the registration materials from their instant email. I like the look of the program, and the ease of use. It's a keeper. Thanks very much, GAOTD and Franzis!

would have been nice to have tried the new 2018 version and maybe would buy but giving away old version doesn't let me see new features so I will pass on this giveaway

I know it won't comfort anyone who had problems acquiring the registration key due to high server load, but it worked for me fine, I got the email right away, from downloading the install zip to the full installation of the registered software took about 3 minutes.
Just thought it's good to see here that registration does sometimes work fine :)

Where is the Mac version?

Did anyone try it, is it really easy

Works great, a little finicky but if you ask to "reset password" this WILL work!

An hour+ waiting to receive the registration code. I give up.
Next time... maybe.

This is a complete waste of my time.
I know that the "Franzis" company produce some fine software but I'm not going to spend all day trying in vain to register it so sadly, I'll have to give it a miss.

Tried on several occasions to download but registration page at Franzis.de constantly refuses to load and times out. Have tried with both Chrome and Opera browsers with the same result. The first time I share on Facebook and it won't even instll.

The connection has timed out....No joy in Australia

Finely I was able to install it.
It's a nice tool, good that we can save the cutout as transparent PNG and than use it to make a 2 planes movement FX.
It's a keeper for further learning.

Ok so I already got the user ID and registration code for installing the program. Then when I tried to use the program, it said that I have to activate it again with license key for having a full version not a 30-days trial. Please help me

Well, while GUI is weird, I have to thank you for this (quite old version of) CutOut 5. Quick testing promises good results.

Thank you Franzis and Giveaway of the day!

Hi, last time FRANZIS Software was offered here I posted this link which always helps in a process of Registration and especially obtaining Reg Key much faster! It really helps to go there BEFORE Reg Page is reached via instructions in readme file alone. Having Account with them is crucial! Next step - be logged in here: https://reg.franzis.de/en/login and proceed with installing, registering and activating. I already have a copy of CutOut5, so shan't be going through it all today. Good Luck!

This is the second server problem in few days after the "Aiseesoft Video Enhancer" , It's better for companies to provide preactivated copies of their Softwares .

Dear GOTD users,
due to the big amount of the registrations there might be the server overload.
The registration is provided by the developer and we've already reported the problem.

The problem is fixed and the server is tuned for the high load, please try to register your program
copies now!

Sorry for the inconvenience!

This case gives an example of weakness of these "internet registrations". In free softwares like this, it is ok if registration not work, I do not have payed anything. Luckily.

The program won't install when the internet button is pressed: This site can’t be reached.
This needs to be fixed or installation time extended.

No response from the servers to register and instillation
"The connection has timed out
The server at register.franzis.de is taking too long to respond."

The Internet link don,t work should make sure its works

OK, I might sound unthankful. But Cutout 5 Standard is 4 years old and meanwhile, Cutout 6 Standard and Cutout 2018 Standard have been released. Cutout 5 Standard was already given away in March this year.
I really would have appreciated a more recent version (not to speak of the pro versions).
