Upgrade to X9

Post by Bimbing »

Hi Everybody, I am still using X4 and today after opening X4 there was an "invitation" to upgrade to X9. It said "Select Full Version or Upgrade". When I selected Full Version it costs $14.99 ( in the background a crossed out $99.99). When I clicked Upgrade, the cost becomes $79.99. What is the difference, because it is my understanding if it is Full Version does it not cost more than an Upgrade? In addition it said that NewBlue - Film Effects is included for free. Wondering if that offer is really from Corel or just Fishing?
Furthermore, since I am not using multicamera angles, etc, would going X9 be really necessary? Thanks for any explanation.

The full version offer is a valid one, so go for it. And the NewBlue filter offer is also valid, not phishing. Considering the price, and the fact that your X4 is now pretty ancient, you would be well advised to go for X9, regardless of whether you use multi-camera setups. X9 is also 64 bit, which I see your Windows is as well. X4 of course is only 32 bit. So just from that point of view, X9 is a very good offer indeed.
