SAR Image Processor, version 4.3

Description

SAR Image Processor is an image editing program for the PC. Most people will want SAR for its enlargement capabilities. See Comparisons of Image Enlargement Methods. Also, SAR has made substantial progress with HDR Tone Mapping. See HDR Gallery. The unregistered program has disabled file saving and printing, but is, otherwise, fully functional. Once the correct registration code is entered, file saving and printing will be enabled.

Attention Previous Registrants of SAR Image Processor!

Starting with version 4.1, there is a change of policy due to hacked versions of SAR Image Processor appearing on the web. There will no longer be free updates. This will allow me to easily change security codes and measures more often. However, to offset some of the unfairness to you, I have cut the price in half to $25 (the price of versions 3.6 to 4.0 was $50).

Registration

The registration fee is $25. Registered users will receive a 10 digit registration key code that eliminates nag screens at startup and enables save and print functions. Registered users will not be notified by email of available upgrades.
