For System 10.4 users, version 4.0.5 is released, with many improvements, including a free upgrade to multi-processor support for holders of the more inexpensive licenses, but further development of the 32-bit line will cease. Update: April 17, 2009: Version 4.1 is released and allows 64-bit processing on the Mac, with access to far larger amounts of memory.
#Helicon focus software update#
If you are already reliant on Helicon Focus, do not update your OS to 10.5.7 yet! Hopefully this will be fixed very quickly. Update: May 12, 2009: Version 4.1 and a newer beta both break in the new OS 10.5.7, becoming totally unusable. Please refer to Mark Dubovoy's new article on about Helicon Focus, which acknowledges a small part of the work I did on Helicon Focus and comes to the conclusion that "Now that the 64-bit version of the software is available, I can say that at least with Canon 1Ds MKIII, P45+ and P65+ files the Helicon Focus software is a total success." Article here. Update: July 2, 2009: As of late June, a version has been created which does run in 10.5 on PPC, so a release should be imminent.
