Obviousidea wünscht Ihnen ein frohes neues Jahr 2025!

Dieses Jahr war für Obviousidea bemerkenswert: Fünf Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung von Light Image Resizer 6 haben wir endlich Version 7 unserer Software für Windows gestartet, Light Image Resizer 7.

However, we acknowledge some missteps. Specifically, some users felt it was unfair to pay again for this update. Similar to a new iPhone model or the latest version of a car, we opted to offer perpetual licenses rather than subscriptions. These licenses, referred to as “Lebenslange Lizenzen,” remain valid: licenses for version 6 do not expire but are not valid for version 7 updates. The costs of maintenance, development, and storing previous versions are significant, preventing us from offering major updates for free. Nevertheless, we understand your frustration and have implemented discounts for existing customers.

Regarding Light Image Resizer 7, there is still room for improvement. Many new features lack sufficient documentation and will evolve in 2025 based on your feedback. Whether you are a personal or professional user, understanding how you use our software is crucial for us. This helps us deliver better tutorials and features tailored to your needs (e.g., for real estate agencies, photographers, bailiffs, or garage owners).

In 2025, we will continue improving PhotoLikr, our photo sorting software, which now supports new formats like JPEG XL and offers innovative features such as reading prompts from generative AI tools like Fooocus, Stable Diffusion, or ComfyUI. With the end of PhotoOnWeb, PhotoLikr Sie werden aktualisiert, um Ihre besten Fotos einfach auszuwählen und in Online-Alben zu teilen.

Es freut uns auch, dass GreenCloud Printer Nutzer tragen zunehmend dazu bei, ihren ökologischen Fußabdruck zu verringern, indem sie täglich Papier und Tinte sparen.

This year, we also plan to expand our services, particularly in the legaltech sector, by offering solutions for managing large volumes of documents, images, or audio files with OCR and voice-to-text transcription technologies. These tools are very useful in modern world legal investigation, when proof of evidence are deeply hidden in our large archives of Facebook Messenger or Instagram private messages.

Wir danken Ihnen aufrichtig für Ihre Unterstützung und ermutigen Sie, Ihre Erfahrungen mit unseren Produkten und Ihre Bedürfnisse zu teilen. Ihr Feedback bildet die Grundlage für unsere zukünftige Entwicklung.
