Folks,
Just a quick note that as of 1/2/2018, PixelGenius will no longer sell our PhotoKit™ line of Photoshop plug-ins including PhotoKit, PhotoKit Sharpener and PhotoKit Color. We will be turning off our serial number activation but we are releasing freeware licensed versions of our plug-ins for customer and non-customer to use without charge. We retain all rights and ownership of our intellectual property and trademarks but we wanted to remove the activation so our customers could be assured of continued use even after we turned off the activation servers. This is similar to what Adobe had to do for Photoshop CS2 when they turned off their activation servers.
The zipped downloads for Mac and Windows (32bit and 64bit) include a ReadMe file with instructions for installing the plug-ins as well as the PG Freeware License agreement.
Customers who are currently running their products can continue doing so. We're not real sure what will happen to already installed products once the servers are shut down. But if anything funky happens, I suggest you download the freeware versions of the plug-ins. Note, all three plug-ins are bundled together in the freeware versions so if you only have 1 plug-in currently and are curious about the others, here's your chance to use them free of charge.
As we say on the PG home page, the nature of the industry has changed and making plug-ins for Photoshop is no longer an attractive endeavor. All the members of PG join me when I say it's been a real pleasure and honor to have contributed, at least in a small way, to the advancement of the industry.
Regards,
Jeff Schewe
