Before you download an update, you may want to check out the version history. Also note:

  • If you are an existing customer and have lost your registration code, or if you want to register a free Update or Upgrade, then you have to login to your account here and request a new license key.

  • CodedColor PhotoStudio comes with an automatic LiveUpdate feature, which can be turned on/off in the program settings dialog. Updates are usually automatically downloaded and installed, if the new version is officially released. You are always asked, if it's time for a major Upgrade, which may lead to a small fee. Otherwise, all Updates within a major version number are free. Example: if you ordered version 7.0, then a 7.5 update is free. An Upgrade (major version jump, i.e. 7 to 8) is free, if your last order was less than 2 months ago.

  • CodedColor PhotoStudio also installs with the optional Photo Skype, Toolbox, Panorama Viewer and the Pixpedia Publisher. Only the Publisher is not freeware. You must purchase a CodedColor license in order to remove the watermarks on the printouts.
