LOL... I believe that they have realized that there are too many FREEWARE out there far better than their product.
So they decided to switch into the shareware niche again because they know that in that niche lots of (silly) uninformed people believe that FREE software are just crap and not worth downloading.
In such way they have more chances to make more money by selling their product at cheap price....as simple as that!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As for today's giveaway looks like a very good program for....kids (tto basic)!!

Of course 10 bucks is a very cheap & attractive price, especially if you don't know that there are plenty of better FREEWARE alternatives out there which do much more for FREE!!

2 THUMBS DOWN!

Amazing FREE group of utilities designed to view and batch converting more than 400 graphic formats (and not just 50 formats like this poor GAOTD).

But through the context menu you can batch convert or rename your images with ease, as well as send them by email, move or copy them to a certain folder, tag and rate them and even set them as wallpaper. In addition, it's also possible to add effects on your pics (e.g. Gaussian blur, soften, enhance detail, focus restoration, emboss, reduce noise, drop shadow, 3D border, slice, shear, tile, oil painting, lens, waves etc..), as well as apply user filters and various plugins over them.

Why a professional tool like this is FREE? Nobody knows that!

Photo+ was initially available as a paid software,then became freeware about half a year ago, and now ArcSoft Inc. is charging it again!

What are they thinking about?

fasrstone Image Viewer is in my opinion the best Image viewer application. Can do all today's application can and much much more. It is always 100%. New version from less then 3 weeks ago is even better than before.
