Update To ImageWaterMarker — Free Download

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:13 pm by Miles

I had forgot about it for a while, but my programmer has finished an update to my well known software ImageWaterMarker. Basically, after giving it to a few thousand people, there was a lot of feedback — so I just listened to what people wanted and included it in the update. If there are any more complaints (not that I have anything against negative feedback)… then I’d sure like to hear about it

 I have to say the updated version is pretty neat. Here’s a screenshot (scaled down, of course):

And, here’s the link to download it free…

One thing a lot of people wanted was to rotate and choose the position of the watermark, which I knew would be useful, so this is what this new update primarily does (along with a few really minor bug fixes). With this new version you can have the watermark text at any angle you want AND have it at any location on the image you want.

I was actually thinking about charging for this update and pitching it to everyone who has already downloaded the original version, which I could have easily done since there are more buggy applications like this being sold for around $30/each. Also, I’m not going to load this up with browserware or big bolded links back to my site in the aim of making money off this, or even use it for any “ulterior” motive.

I’ve decided just to give this away free because I think it’s something a lot of people would find useful. The other thing is that I don’t really feel like spending time setting up a system to sell this, and it was cheap to develop anyway.

In other news I’ve been looking at developing an anti-spyware program for the last month or so, and I’m hoping to get it released by next week. Obviously spyware programs cost an absolute ton to get developed if you want something comparable to the likes of million dollar companies like Norton/Ad-Aware, thanks to the sophistication of many spyware/adware programs out right now — but what I’m going to release is still going to be pretty good.

I can’t say exactly what it’s like now, but once I get the custom GUI done and other graphics it’s going to be an extremely useful piece of software. I’m going to give away the trial version as soon as I get it completed (so stay tuned).
