Q What is the difference between Demo, Home, Home+, Pro and Pro+
editions of Neat Image?
A The Demo edition of Neat Image has some of the advanced functionality
disabled. In particular, it does not save images in TIFF and BMP formats and
does not copy output image to the clipboard (the Demo edition only saves images
in JPEG). Non-Demo editions do all that. Home+ and Pro+ additionally include
the plug-in version of the filter. Please see the Detailed
feature map for more details.
Q Should I uninstall Demo prior to installing Home / Home+ / Pro
/ Pro+ edition?
A This is not necessary. However, you will not need Demo anymore because
you are installing a non-Demo edition, which has all the functionality of Demo
plus added features. To uninstall Demo, use the Uninstall
shortcut in the Windows Start menu: Start
menu | Programs | Neat Image | Uninstall. That will remove Demo.
Q Should I uninstall the older version of Neat Image prior to
installing a newer one?
A Yes, this is usually necessary. Please uninstall the older version of Neat Image and only after that proceed to install a newer version. This will ensure that important files are not mixed up.
Q Are you going to release a Mac OS9 or OSX version?
A Mac version of Neat Image currently is under development.
Q I think I have found a bug. How can I submit bug
report?
A Please use the online bug report form on the
Neat Image web page; please fill it out to let us know all the details necessary
to reproduce the problem.
See more information about bugs in the Known issues subsection and about bug fixes in the file WhatsNew.txt supplied with the software - use the Help | What's New menu item to open that file (also see the History section on the Neat Image web page for the most up to date information).
Q What about batch processing?
A Neat Image
supports batch processing starting from the software version 2.0. Please refer
to the Queued processing section.
Earlier versions of Neat Image (v1.x) can use Neat Batch - Batch Processing Assistant (http://www.tawbaware.com/neatbatch.htm), which adds a simple batch processing functionality to Neat Image. This free software was written by Max Lyons.
Batch processing is also possible with Neat Image plug-in used via Photoshop batching mechanism.
