Image joining software?

I use PhotoScape for a similar feature; they call it, to combine.

Yes, this is exactly it.  Awesome!

Software to make image collages, film strips, and other multi-image compositions?

Photoscape is a good find. It actually has some options that Picasa doesn't and while it's a bit clunkier, I think it's worth keeping in the toolbox for when I want to do things a that Picasa's collage system just won't do. Rounded corners is an example of a feature that, while small, is something I've done occasionally in the past and is very easy to achieve in Photoscape.

Not as many options as you may be asking for. But simple, free, and quite good.

Living Room / Re: What Happened to Genie Backup Manager?
« Last post by Curt on May 03, 2012, 06:45 AM »
Genie Timeline Professional 2012 (v3)

Genie Timeline 2012 has been enhanced with plenty of new features.

Backup speeds are twice the speed of the previous version, for instance.

The program is smarter, less likely to store multiple copies of the same file, so reducing backup space requirements.

Explorer folder icons will have a marker to indicate which ones are backed up. And it's now quicker and easier to restore the files you need.

The Professional edition provides fine control over which files are backed up, enable you to encrypt them for maximum security, can schedule backups to run on particular dates (and as frequently as every 3 minutes), and are able to shut your PC down once a backup is complete.

Note that Genie Timeline Professional 2012 ships with a single PC, non-expiring lifetime license.

Thing is: it looks to me like many iPad apps have Dropbox support built into them.

General Software Discussion / Re: Liquid Story Binder: Excellent
« Last post by Curt on April 29, 2012, 06:54 AM »
Liquid Story Binder XE has not been updated for more than a year, which is very unusual, so development may have stopped. For some time I was subscribing to the connected Yahoo! newsgroup, but updates were so frequently that I gave up! I am a slow learner, and when I thought I was just about to know how to use the program, it was always updated with new features etcetera! Well, there are apparently no more updates, so now I just might get to understand how to use this fantastic but complex program! ;-)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I am really posting to inform that Bits du Jour now has a fixed offer for the program,
making it $25 instead of $46: http://www.bitsdujou.../liquid-story-binder

Microsoft Security Essentials seems the best solution,

If you look at XP's page you will notice that MSE is listed as a free download for XP as well, not just for Vista and 7: http://windows.micro...downloads/windows-xp . So I #feel# certain that it will work on XP as well as on Vista and 7:

Hmm... you may be right. 64-XP is not listed, only 32-XP.

General Software Discussion / Re: Lifetime license from Audials+GAOTD: no good
« Last post by Curt on April 27, 2012, 05:44 AM »
I didn't upgrade to version 9, so I am still running the same version 8, but now on 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, while it used to be on 32 Vista.

New problems have arrived:

AudialsERROR-Chameleon.gif


I have never seen this error on 32 Vista, and I truly doubt that it is caused by Microsoft DRM or by the named programs - they were also installed on my Vista. Of course I expect these errors to have been caused by Audials itself.
What do you think of it?  :tellme:

Edited:
It doesn't help to tell the named programs not to touch Audials. I have to close them before launching Audials.

Due to the normal asking price, I have not yet tried this myself:

PagePlus X6 also makes for a killer PDF editor, with functions that include the ability to open, edit, and save PDFs, share PDF forms, and more.
-Bits du Jour

"50% off" -deal coming "soon": http://www.bitsdujou...oftware/pageplus-x6/

Full PDF editing and broad compatibility

Fully edit PDFs from anywhere, with more flexibility than any other desktop publishing software – ideal for updating and refreshing existing documents or correcting errors in PDFs before they are distributed or printed. Full PDF editing power lets you move, resize, recolour, replace anything in the design, add new text and images, include bookmarks and notes, merge multiple PDFs, manage pages, and add security. It’s like editing a normal PagePlus file – there is nothing you can’t do!

Editing PDFs is easy with PagePlus X6 (see video)

Taking stock of the Windows 8 versions

By Woody Leonhard on April 25, 2012 in Top Story


Microsoft just released details on the versions of Windows 8 it’ll offer when the OS ships — most likely sometime in October.

Although the company will simplify the current huge array of Windows versions with Win8, the choices are really not any simpler at all.

Microsoft used to have a simple, small set of SKUs (stock-keeping units — what you and I would call versions) for Windows. For example, XP first shipped with just two: Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. XP Professional added the ability to join a domain and to act as a server (a host or, as I like to say, a “puppet”) in a Remote Desktop session: it included Encrypting File System (EFS), Group Policy Editor, and a handful of lesser features.

Then the proverbial hit the fan. Within two years we had Windows XP Starter Edition, Media Center Edition, and Tablet PC Edition — all of which were available only as preinstalled software on new systems (in theory). XP Professional was also released in 64-bit versions (which worked on alternate Tuesdays) for Itanium (Wikipedia info page) and Itanium 2 processors. (The original XP Pro 64 was released simultaneously with XP Pro, but I don’t think it worked until years later.) Then there was the XP Professional x64 Edition.

That murky situation wasn’t made any clearer with Vista — and Windows 7 followed in Vista’s footsteps.

Given that history, there was hope that Microsoft would finally reduce the version complexity and give us — well, uh — just Windows 8. But in an April 16 post, Microsoft’s irrepressible Brandon LeBlanc announced the range of Windows 8 versions/SKUs the company plans to offer.

An introduction to the various new SKUs

I think the easiest way to understand Win8′s new SKUs is to compare them with Windows 7.
Here’s the breakdown

I have tested lots of keyloggers and found All In One Keyloggers as the best
I use it to monitor my kids and it does an excellent job.
So, it that keylogger free to use?

All In One Keylogger is $70.

General Software Discussion / Re: Acronis Saves the Day
« Last post by Curt on April 25, 2012, 12:07 PM »
It's good to hear that somehow is having a much better experience with Acronis than I have had. In the end I got so disappointed that I uninstalled my licensed Acronis TrueImage2010.

Maybe my problems with Acronis were caused by my keyboard?
-today Acronis-worker Roman Rtichshev wrote on Bits du Jour:

"Non-US keyboards as support for different languages in the bootable media?"
We do not have this option at the moment I am afraid.
-Acronis on BdJ

Today's offer is for the English version only, so he might just have been talking about that version, (I know they have a German version as well), but I am afraid Aconis in general is having problems with Unicode etcetera - or maybe I installed an English-only version without knowing? It would explain my disappointing experience.

--------
Talking about today's offer on BdJ (Wednesday 25 April): the correct normal price is $50 for True Image, and then $30 for the plus pack, not $80 for True Image.
