Well, I helped him fix the registry keys for free, but it made me wonder what motives this company had. I don’t support illegal software, don’t understand me wrong, but blackmailing people is not what I call fair policy.

Strange thing is that I posted the registry fix also on this board, but cannot find it anymore …

Update:

LucisArt 2 is only going to be available until Monday, September 15, after which it will R.I.P.

Plugs...still waiting on more feedback from you with regards to Pro6. You said when you got back for the PS conference you would provide more feedback..thanks since you are the only person I know who has the new expensive version.

That is true! For my next trick (and by request) I want to create Lucis Pro and Adjust galleries that note the actual settings used.

I also have to put some updated products on my site (Alien Skin Blow Up 2, nik Sharpener 3) and beta test Portraiture 2--oy!

In the meantime, if you have a specific question about Lucis Pro, let me know.

can you capture the screen of the new version when working on a photo so I can see the difference. I also assume the working area is larger.

Alright, here you go! Small screenshot attached; actual size mongo version here–which could have been even bigger but I ran out of room on my 23" monitor...

I'm begining to wonder if this is more about marketing and price vs improved technology. I'm not aware of any other plugn at this price.
Plugnpixels...have you become an paid agent of the developer?

download it where ? I had the old LucisArt . You're right about non support.

There's a demo of version 3 on their website, but version 2 is history.

But for only $49.99 you can get Topaz Adjust instead – times have changed and LA is no longer the only game in town.

I made that post when it was announced that the old Lucis was being replaced. The old program is now long gone and if you didn't say a backup you probably won't find one except illegally on a torrent site - but then again you did buy a copy ...right?
