Poll: Top three, IOTW, year end finalists

[Beaux Reflets]

I happen to know, that Andy (Beauxreflets) could do with new software; I've got a vague recollection of a remark he once made to that extent, on one of the forums. If Dave agrees, as it's his prize as well as mine, would it be possible to donate it to him? This is probably very unorthodox, but this has been a very unorthodox competition.

If Dave, or anybody else, disagrees, I'll leave it with Mick to offer it as a prize for another competition.

Well, this was my 'Oscar Speech,' and I managed it without blubbing!

It's back to the kitchen for me now! Catch up later.

Reinardina.

Yes I have to admit I am still using very basic software programs and Serif has a couple of operation options that would be handy to be able to do with ease - Spare cash always seems to end up on essentials like car repairs or the children's education that has to come first.

Well done all.

Maybe it should be offered to Nickt first before any decision is made as he was the runner up in the competition...

Totally agree

Actually glad you said that Dave, I was about to say the same.  If Nick doesn't want it, then I'll send it to whoever you and Reinardina nominate.     I know it's not the latest version, as X5 http://www.serif.com/ has been out a couple of months now, but X4 is pretty good. 

Price has dropped dramatically now though.    http://www.serif.com/photoplus/phpx4.asp  That's what I like about Serif products, if your not in a hurry to have the latest version you normally end up buying it for peanuts. 

I use X4 myself, along with Elements 6, and DPP. 

[Reinardina]

Of course it should be offered to Nick first! I my excitement and hurry to get into the kitchen, I didn't think properly.
Sorry!

I'm fine with the prize going to Andy. Being in the final 3 is prize enough for me!

My view is rather simple - it goes with the majority view of the 3 finalists, which in this case recommend letting Andy have the prize.

It will be much appreciated, and it would be good to see some make use of this package and demonstrate how good it is - and why you don't need PS etc just to manage your pics.
I made it clear in the first Serif comp that i would be entering - for the sake of entering and supporting the site, but that i would not be needing the prize and would rather see it go to some one who has a great need for such a package.

For me, this has finally been achieved.
Well done all three, and Andy who now has a new toy to play with.

[Reinardina]

Thank you. Coming (shared) first in this competition, is the highest accolade achieved so far. Never fought off such stiff competition before!

I'm glad Andy will get the software, as I know he'll use it.

[Beaux Reflets]

Thank you all for your kindness.
