Are you interested in learning more about graphics software, but don't want to start out spending several hundred dollars for something like Adobe Photo Shop?
Then, have we got a deal for you!!!{g}
LView Pro is a small shareware software program that will handle most of your graphics file conversion and manipulation needs. LView was used for many of the graphics on this web site. For those of you not familiar with the shareware concept of software distribution, it's "try before you buy" where you have a limited period of free use after which you must register the product and pay a small fee. The author of this software is very generous in the shareware terms. If you use the software for personal use only on your home computer for leisure (not profit making activities), there is no time limit and you are not required to register. Any other use has a 20 day time limit, after which you must pay a $30 fee and register the software. All of these details are contained within the help files built into the program.
