SAR Image Processor, version 3.6

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.   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 version 2.xx!

  Despite price increases, upgrades will continue to be free to previous registrants of SAR v. 2.0 and above.   However, versions 3.xx require a different registration code than 2.xx.   Please, email me for the free code and, as proof of identification, provide the email address under which you registered 2.xx.   Previous registrants of versions 1.xx, who did not upgrade to 2.xx, must pay the price difference of $30 (email me for instructions).  

  Registration

  The registration fee is $50.   Registered users will receive a 10 digit registration key code that eliminates nag screens at startup and enables save and print functions.  

  Upgrades will be free to version 2.xx registrants (see above).   Please, routinely check this site for free upgrades.   You will not be notified by email of available upgrades.
