Maybe something to remove them if you are already a registered owner of the software?

Yeah, that would work for us.....since we're already "sold" on it.....but the downside might make it kinda "trial-ware-ish".....like the ads, watermarks, etc will be removed if you buy the program.....

Besides knocking out info users want to see first.....I think all of that advertising works to place FF in the realm of sub-optimal programs that have to do all that self-promoting in order to prey upon the easily-misled.....

LOL..... Well, I know ad-blocker programs like "Selectview" don't work on it.....so it's worth a try.....

Hmmmmm.....I was just thinking.....maybe tripling FF version prices and offering a continuous 90% discount might work...... LOL..... just kidding..... I had to chuckle when I recently saw the discount stuck on "four days left" for qite a few days.....then just jumped to the 50% Holiday Discount..... LOL..... Have you no shame??? LOL.....

I agree, it should be fine on the first/product info pages but seems there is buy FF with a discount even on the forum which seems maybe a bit much.

Well, it makes me kinds proud of the fact that, somehow, I managed to have to pay full price for FF. Maybe I temporarily slipped into an alternate reality or something.

well, i tried to get vlad to raise the price, but he didnt buy it. i'm also surprised you guys are complaining about it being too cheap. seems i was right in telling vlad to raise the price $100.00

I don't think anyone was complaining about the price but more that the sales are always going on.

Maybe they should just lower the price rather than have really long sales lots of the time. Might be a good idea because im guessing if a new user visited and purchased at a time one was not on and then there was a sale for half price the next few months they might not like it. I think we can all agree that sales and price reductions are great though just they seem more special when they are less often.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
A bit harsh Stevie, might want to kick it back a bit,.. more like, double the price on all future versions....then offer a continous "(5)days remaining "90% discount LOL

StevieJ,

stop being all grumpy and get over to the wiki to write up some articles on solarization and spectralization for the cookbook!

Oh, and bring Carl! He doesn't talk to me anymore for some unknown reason!

That'd be a bad name.

First, because it would put all the workload on me! Secondly, because the Beginner's Cookbook should be a collaborative effort of the FF community.

Currently I'm enthusiastic about it, but time will tell. So far only very few FF community members have devoted any time to the wiki, and this needs to change. After all, it's not like I'm the only one around here capable of penning something instructive about filter creation! Then there are some areas (like Offsets and Sample Caching, for example) that are outside of my expertise, so I'm hoping for the resident experts (you know who you are!) to step up and deliver on that!

Besides, it's the holiday season and thus a perfect time for getting into the altruistic mood.
