I have a couple of questions regarding the new forthcoming PostWorkshop3. 1.]  PWS2 render time is very slow on my computer which is 2010 state of the art [Intel quadcore + Nvivia medium level graphics.  Some of the styles are fast and some take over an hour to complete [Time to get six cups of coffee].  I'm talking about images from 3000 ppi square to 6000 ppi square. Will the improved speed be significant in PWS3 [like 2 3 or 4 times faster?] 2.]  This is a suggestion for PWS3 or later:  Have a tool for blending the original image back into the created art. Currently I use Xara Designer Pro and bring in the artwork produced in PWS and blend in the original. I also use blended focus areas to restore features such as eyes, etc. This is because many of the styles are too overpowering and need to be tamed. Is this dooable in PWS3? 3.] I think that the arrangement of styles could be a lot better.  Has it been improved in PWS3?

 Haha here I am giving a feature idea when you are already hard at work perfecting the new version. I am a programmer myself. project lifestyles of software between users and programmers are like this .. Wow that is cool, now make it do this, now make it do this too ... So here is my one make it do this ... There is a batch mode that allows you to implement the currently loaded filters onto a bunch of images in a directory but think of this batching method... The ability to load a series of exsiting project files and then render them full size overnight. Project1Project2....Project N And another panel with the rendering options to apply to them all. Run them over night . It would be great. Maybe look a bit like this;   Mark's Needs, hehe Looking forward to 3.0 Thanks for all the fun, Mark   

You have a great product, but honestly, I get this email about version 3 and there are no links on the email, except to facebook or twitter and then when I do get to your website, I find 2 comments to version 3 in the forum. No were on your website do I find anything on version 3 at all. Wow, aren't you guys jumping the gun a bit.Give us some clues on this update please when you anounce it!!!

Hello,

We have announced in our newsletter that any news about PWS 3 before the release will be available on Facebook and in our blog, and that the new version's availability will be notified by an email newsletter :) 
We are beta testing, please grant us some time so that the final result of the program will be a bug-free version :) Thanks for your understanding.

I have written to you 3 times now, with my serial number, asking for the coupon for update from version 2.1 to version 3. I haven't had a reply, so in desperation I am posting here. Can you help, before it is too late, please?

Wow... I had a response back from them in 30 minutes

All the information I've seen has stated that at the time of release everyone will be notified (who is on the mailing list) and that current owners of Postworkshop will receive the coupon codes automatically... or am I missing something here?  You can't download version 3 yet, so I see no reason to have the code immediately.

Hello David,

no, that is all true. We will send an email to all those who have PostworkShop 2 Pro purchased after Nov 1, 2011, to upgrade for free, and we also will send an email to all the other customers who have already pre-ordered the upgrade. 

The answer to the second part of your message can found an answer here : 

Isn’t it risky to pre-order the upgrade? I could not try the PWS 3 demo yet ...

In conjunction with the pre-order offer, Xycod's standard 30 day money back guarantee will run from the release date, and not be based upon the actual transaction date. Please visit our developer's blog at: http://blog.postworkshop.net to learn more about the new release.

Best,

PostworkShop team

PostWorkshop 3 seems to have been released, yet impossible to download it... (I pre ordered it)

Hi:

Hopefully it's a case of the area to click on not being obvious - it took me a little while to work it out!

In the 'Downloads' section http://www.postworkshop.net/download select the version that you want.

Then click on the text part of the 'Download file (194.59 Mb)' button (I have underlined it), not the 'Demo program' . This will start the download for you hopefully.

Then find your email from Xycod sales@xycod.com confirming your pre-release purchase of PostWorkshop 3. In the order summary under REGISTRATION INFORMATION it will show the 'Serial Number' for version 3.

When you have downloaded PostWorkshop 3 start the installation process. It will at some stage ask if you want to migrate version 2 data settings to version 3. When you start version 3 for the first time it will open a Demo Mode box asking if you have a 'Serial Number' and if so providing a box in which to enter it. Once entered, select 'Activate' and after a few seconds you should have a fully working brilliant piece of software!! Enjoy.

Regards
Chris

Very nice.... you folks did one hell-of-a-job. David Healy

Wouderful improvements. Great program. Just the right amount of end-user control over the program features. Thank you. I just purchased v2 a few weeks ago. Can you send me the serial number by e-mail right now? I am using demo version whch has a watermark on it.

I've been using Postworkshop Pro v2 since it came out.  I really like the flexibiltiy and improved user interface on v3.   My compliments on a great program!

Please advise: - How can I get the coupon for upgrading from my Pro Edition 2.1 to 3.0?- and shall I remove 2.1 from sysem before installing 3.0 or it will upgrade 2.1 to 3.0 ? Thanks. 

Has anyone had trouble with the 64-bit version?  I get as far as the initial startup, then it crashes.  I'm on Win7 64-bit.  I've redownloaded it 3 times with the same results.  I tried the 32-bit version and everything works fine.

I am trying to upgrade from 2.1 to the new version, I did not get the new number yet!My order ID is:39LSKPD-A5Q7DWould appreciate a reply.ThanksMax

If you purchased PostworkShop PRO after Nov. 1, 2011, you will receive an email with upgrade instructions. Please be patient, we have a lot of emails to handle these days.

With any other upgrade requests please wite to sales@xycod.com and include your old serial number (license key).

You can always download PWS 3 from the download section of the site and start to learn it. It will work in demo (watermarked) mode until you get your PWS 3 serial number. PostworkShop 3 DOES NOT WORK with PostworkShop 2 serial numbers. Even if you know that you are entitled to a free upgrade, the program does not know it, it only accepts PWS 3 serials.

I'm impressed with the demo and would like to upgrade to PWS3. As an owner of PWS1, I have a serial number. I've tried to contact sales@xycod.com so I can purchase the new version at the discount, however I keep getting the folowing message "default email client is not properly installed." How can I get the upgrade? Thank you for your response and assistance.

Your web browser does not know how to send emails to email adresses found in web pages, because your "default email client is not properly installed". You may want to fix it, but for this particular case there is an easy solution.

Don't click the link on the site, copy or write the address (support@xycod.com) into your email software (Outlook, gmail, etc.)

You folks must have been hard at work on this release... the speed improvements everywhere, but particularly in rendering are amazing! Congratulations to all. Mark
