Not available in Japan?!?!

[Tesselator]

I recently started a thread over on Fred Miranda's site after downloading a trial version of AfterShot Pro. Someone in that thread linked us to a great sale on the product at Amazon where AfterShot Pro is being offered for $14.99.

I went to order it and Amazon tells me (after entering all of my information correctly) that the product can not be downloaded internationally (only to the USA). I live in Japan you see. So I went to Amazon.co.jp and searched for AfterShot only to discover it's not available at all - at any price. I visited a few on-line distributors in Japan and it was the same deal, AfterShot is not available for sale in Japan. I found that a little strange because the application has localization for Japan (has Japanese selectable as an interface language).

So where can I get a download of AfterShot Pro for $14.99 - I want it and I want it now! If you read that thread at Fred Miranda's you'll know I (Bifurcator) dig the software a lot! I'm very anxious to own it and $14.99 is the right price!

Please advice!

Also please change the DL policy if possible over at Amazon.com There are or will likely be, many international customers in Europe, Asia, and around the globe who are interested in ASP for about $15 - oh yeah!

I figured out how to get it for that price from Japan. I jut used a Tor network and everything worked. I'm happy and I'm updated (clap your hands).

What an awesome deal! $15 for what I consider to be MUCH BETTER than LightRoom, and on par with CaptureOnce Pro. The Amazon DL is version 1.0.0.39 so you end up after everything with 1.2.0.7 and also Noise Ninja registered (who's only fault is a very standard implementation of USM). Topaz DeNoise is the current NR king by my tests but NJ is a very strong second! It'll be interesting to see what the AfterShot team comes up with for sure.

AfterShot Pro is faster than any other RAW processor I've used - that's for way sure!!! And I guess I've rigorously tested and timed around 15 or 20 of them. Most limp like lame dogs in comparison! So me, I'm a happy camper now. I've got my AfterShot Pro highly capable speed demon which produces top-shelf photographs and PhotoShop (CS6) when it's time to move beyond the realm of photography.

YAY!
