For those stuck on installing the software because it requires a serial number but GOTD provides a user ID and registration code. Use the registration code as the serial number and it works.

Always a great offering when the Give Away is a Franzes offering. Only issue is I've been waiting for the code now for 20 minutes and still nothing. Keeping fingers crossed.

This is handy as I have 2 Pro so it's a upgrade... thanks...

The theory is quite simple, take a bunch of images of somewhere (still or in a video) until you (hope you) have one showing every part of the scene without a person in front of it. Load the images into the program and it should make one without the people. Their examples show hand-held shooting.

I see it comes with the latest version of the FreeImage library (3.18.0.0) which is used to read Raw image files (which most serious cameras can optionally save as well as JPEGs), although strangely it's not the size (in bytes) I would have expected, perhaps it's been re-compiled by Franzis? I checked and the Sourceforge version still has the old size. I wouldn't worry about it, especially as it's so old now (8 years) that it won't support any vaguely recent camera.

As I mentioned it can also support video input, although using stills may well give a better result IMHO, partly as video can use slow shutter speeds so not have the sharpest details. Then again if all you have is video...

It appears to work okay with a 4k monitor without having to tweak any settings.

Registering, as always, is trivial if you have a Franzis account and much more entertaining if you don't. Just use a real e-mail address so the next time around it will be easy...

So, IMHO, worth a download...
