Public Beta of Webify Now Ready
17/09/08 10:51 Filed in: Webify
We finally have a beta of Webify that is ready for
public consumption. For those of you that were lucky
enough (or unluck enough) to get your hands on the
initial beta release more than 6 months ago you will
see that there have been MAJOR improvements.
Now before you go running to get your download let me explain a few things that you need to know:
1. This is not a free beta release - It will cost you $10 to participate in the beta program. However, if you participate in the beta program you will get the full version when it is released. The full version will sell for twice that amount when it is available.
2. This is not a feature complete beta - This was done on purpose. The full version will include:
3. This is not an unlimited beta - I simply mean that this beta will expire in 30 days no matter what. During that 30 day time period there may be some more beta versions that will replace the current one and will be available by clicking on the “Check for updates” in the “File” menu.
If a new beta has not been deployed within the 30 day limit then a new beta will be deployed at the end of the 30 days.
You WILL NOT have to re-purchase Webify at the end of 30 days!
4. We are looking for “good” feedback - We are not looking for feedback that is pointless or asking if we can make it into Photoshop. We are looking for feedback in the following areas:
If you feel that we should not charge for a public “beta” I understand your feelings completely and encourage you not to purchase the beta. You should wait until the final version is ready, but you need to know that the price will be considerably higher.
Now, if after reading this post you feel that you want to participate in the beta program and you understand that you will be charged $10 for doing so then please click on the button below.

- reflection plug-in in the effects panel
- an option to apply your settings to individual images or to do batch processing and
- a public SDK for any developers out there that want to try to cash in on the openness of Webify.

- The image effects panel
- Problems with the Cropping feature
- Basic usability
- Exporting or saving images
- any other things that should have been obvious to us but might have gotten overlooked
