Test Version 1490b8

Beitrag von Gerhard Huber »

Hello,

there is a new public beta of PhotoLine.
If you have an appropriate operating system (XP-64, Vista-64, Mac OS 10.5 with Intel), this version can be executed as a 64 bit application.
This way you can utilize your complete installed main memory (more then the usual 2 GB).
We have tested this version heavily, nevertheless there may be severe bugs.
