Never got the activation email yesterday, haven't received it today either (even though the giveaway's over) and obviously never will. A frustrating waste of time trying to download this.

Could not install.
Started installation process and got the message 'Activate account - Please check your emails now
To activate your new account please click on the activation link which we have just sent to your email address ' but the email never arrived.

I posted yesterday #20. Received a link to download the Trial program. I did NOT receive a copy of the License Key. The program will not give the key, just the error code.
I need a copy of the License Key sent to me, or I can not install the Giveaway.
Please email me the Key.
Thanks

I downloaded and installed and registered the program with any problems started it and tryed to remove a object from a photo and the program dis absolute nothing , i went back to the site looked a video and rered the instructions again then restarted the computer and tried again with the same result , the selection i made to be removed remain and the program doing nothing . Just feels like a time waster or is ther some other reason this company try to get you to install their software ??

It did come but had gone into my junk mail so working OK now :)

Try several times but no activation mail received.

Every software offering from SoftOrbits has become unregistered after a VERY short while. I avoid them like a virus!

Canceling a giveaway registration is simply dishonest. I refuse to buy, try or use any product from a dishonest company.

Every product I've ever installed always somehow deactivated dus I will never install or buy any of their products ever again this company is dead to me

Waiting over an hour already for the download to be sent to my email, anyone else having this issue?

I found that if I refreshed the page on SoftOrbits where they tell you to check your email, it comes back with a place where you can enter your name and email and they will give you the activation key right there. Don't know why there is a problem with receiving it through email but hey, this works!

II have not been able to install the software, even as an administrator. When I click on the "Get Free Activation Key" I receive a “Pop up” Application Error that states:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application.”
This needs to be fixed. I need a copy of the License Key sent to me.
Thanks.

Thank you GOTD & Soft Orbits, this is a really good software if you work with photos and do a lot of photoshoping or editing and have a need to remove something from a photo and blend things the easy way without having the spend a lot of time to do so. Save's time for such things.

The only thing I don't like about the software is that it does not have a .8bf file like most Soft Orbit software's have. It's a keeper for me either way. Although having a .8bf file to add it to Paint.net and other photo editing softwares would be a great addition in my opinion. I mean in all honesty, this type of software for serious photo workers can be done with ready made in house actions, but adding a plugin the make it readily available as a plugin would make it a lot more valuable.

Either way, Thank you to, GOTD for smooching and kissing enough to get along with Soft Orbits and take it like a man an offer this to others as they have done... Thank you GOTD for giving it all!!!!.........

Rebooting KARL STYLE!!!!!

It works as advertised! Thanks!

Registered and installed in 5 minutes. This software changes whatever you select to white. Might be useful to some, but I prefer Inpaint, the industry standard for editing out objects.

Not Working Guys dont download you dont receive Licence key to your mail

Windows 10 anniversary Update, AMD quad core processor with 8g DDR 3 ram. I uninstalled previous version for a clean install. Got activation immediately. No problems with install. I have used this program on some simple pictures so I thought I'd test this version with a more complicated picture. I tried to do a stained glass picture and tack the wall out behind it. It may have been my highlight lines but it cut out part of the window. I do like it for simple jobs.

Nothing coming in by email so far.
Maybe they are just collecting email addresses to spam people or sell them on to others to spam you later ?

from site to email and then back to site, quite a lot of steps to get code.
luckily, the code is accepted, and run as GOTD copy.
simple interface with few function.
yet to test out the s/w.

EVERYTHING dl'd from 'soft orbits' mysteriously expires for no reason. Thanks but no thanks.

To do more than adjust things like overall color tint or make a photo lighter/darker, image editing software has always included tools for making selections, which are also referred to as masks -- it was there in the software that would become Microsoft or Windows Paint in the early 90s. Basically you select areas or parts of an image to alter, cut, or copy/paste -- in the context of today's GOTD you select part of an image, copy it, then paste it into a new document or layer [when/if your image editor supports layers].

Creating a selection or mask isn't difficult but it can be tedious, time--consuming work, so specialized tools, both in-app & stand-alone, have been developed over the years. The only add-on tool I've ever seen recommended by pros is Topaz Remask [topazlabs[.]com/remask ].

The good news is that Photo Background Remover automates this process. The bad news is that the results often do not measure up to what's possible manually. You get faster & easier at the price of lower quality. That's not necessarily a bad trade-off...

If you're not about to spend the time making a difficult mask or selection, which can take more than an hour, Photo Background Remover could be the answer. And depending on your project, less than perfect quality is very often good enough. OTOH as a stand-alone tool, there's less that you can do with the part of the photo that you select, and mileage will vary depending on the colors and composition of the image you're working with.

The example family photo on the product page has a consistent background with a limited range of colors, which will work better than if that background was made up of several different objects, each a different color. And re-imagining a studio-type shot like that might be something Photo Background Remover is particularly suited for. The same with the example of women's shoes... if you're going to put a product shot up on ebay, you'd take the photo against a solid color background, & might use Photo Background Remover to remove that background for pro-looking results.

Installed & registered okay on Win 7 64 bit.
First trial worse that unimpressive. Didn't remove the background, just odd chunks of it, leaving a garbled mess. Thumbs down from me.

True, Softorbits giveaways are gimmicks. Registration expires mysteriously even if you take care not to update the software. Emailing them is no use. They neither provide any answer or solution.

Like many others I have had problems with SoftOrbits programs "unregistering" when later programs from them were installed. I spent some time corresponding with them and did some tests they requested. They then gave me new registration codes and I have had no further problems. I like their programs, they work well, and I found their people very friendly and helpful so I will certainly try this update. Ron

I have not tested it extensively but this application is almost similar to InPaint. If you like InPaint you don't need SoftOrbits Background Remover and vice versa.

Downloaded, installed and registered without any problems on Win10 (64bit). Tried the software out on a few random pictures and removed the backgrounds without any problems. I like the idea of the red (remove) and green (don't remove) markers, it makes life so much simpler and it does the job quickly. Thanks.

Windows 10. Lucky me. Old version still active, mind you I have never allowed it to update. Uninstalled old version. Installed new version and activated easily - approx 15 minutes. No time to try it but keep for when needed.

Is it me or does the description tell you that this soft actually removes the photo FROM the background, like, you want to KEEP the background?

I went to my previous installation to check what version it was and typically of Soft Orbits, the license had "mysteriously" expired. Is it worth downloading this, or anything else from this company I wonder.

The "Get Activation Key" simply doesn't work, for me at any rate, with Firefox and Chrome both running. Shurely shome mishtake.
