FREE & PRO Versions of PixieDust filters

Most of them come in two versions. One is named after the library, Pixie Dust. These plug-ins are simple to use as they do not take advantage of the full flexibility of the library: Most work on all three channels using the same configuration. And they work with opacity set to 100%. They are ideally suited for the hobbyist, a person who needs to fix his images quickly and does not want to be bothered by too many options. These plug-ins are free. You can use them for your own personal work or pleasure. They never expire, and they will not pop up any messages trying to get you to register them.

The other version, Pixie Dust Pro is for the professional, and anyone who wants professional quality of image manipulation. If you want complete control over what happens to your images, this version is for you. If you are a photographer, graphic artist, master of special effects, or if you have need for scientific imaging, or forensic analysis of images, you should consider the professional version.

Please note that this is still a pre-release, not the final release. Most software companies set deadlines by which they release their software, even if it is not quite ready. I prefer to release it only after I am fully satisfied that it does all I want it to do. I will never knowingly release software with bugs. Meanwhile, I make pre-releases available, so you can work with what I have done so far.

Should you get the free version, or the Pro version? That depends on your needs. If you are a casual user, the free version will satisfy all your needs.

If you spend much time editing images, you should upgrade to the Pro version. It gives you much more control over what you can do with your images.

What's different in the Pro version? More options. You can see screen shots for several filters on other pages. Now, let us compare the difference in the Monochrome filter family.

Here are the options for the free version:

You get to choose between NTSC and CIE conversion, and you get to choose between the 8-bit and deep gray, or contour, gold leaf, darkroom, or increase or negate saturation.

In the Pro version you get a larger preview window, but, more importantly, you have more options:

You have everything as before, but you can choose your own monochrome conversion factors, you can choose any level of saturation between -2.00 and 2.00, and you can create a duotone effect based on any color.

As I said before, if you are an occasional hobbyist, the free version may satisfy all your needs. If you edit images regularly, the Pro version is the way to go.

Plus, take advantage of all these filters being put together in one collection. If they were distributed separately, they would cost anywhere between $500.00 - $700.00, and much more when version 1.0 is released. The price of version 1.0 has not been determined yet, though it will be at least $165. But right now you can register Pixie Dust Pro for only $143.

Naturally, as I add more features to newer versions, the registration price will go up. But that is really of no concern to you: Once you have registered, the newer versions of Red Prince Pixie Dust will automatically run in the Pro mode on your computer regardless of the increased price for new users. In other words, your registration is for life.
