![]() This is when you stay within the same version, but install a newer build, as above. You can also customize when Photo Mechanic checks for these. (Note: When Camera Bits releases a build, the release notes of what was changed are posted in the Announcements forum here.) When you run into what might be a bug, it’s always a good idea to make sure that you’re on the latest “build” of your version, which you can do by going to Help > Software Update. Sometimes they will include new functionality that would not merit a full version on its own. These are relatively common updates to fix small bugs, or to tweak features that were not working as expected. Sometimes called “update” or “service release” or just “release.” There is usually a cost involved in purchasing a new version, but there are discounts for users with valid licenses of the previous versions, and often there’s a grace period for people who bought one version recently and need to upgrade to a new version. To “upgrade” means to go from one version of Photo Mechanic to a new version, like Photo Mechanic version 5 to Photo Mechanic 6. That’s why Photo Mechanic 6 is a completely different version and an upgrade from Photo Mechanic version 5. In the case of Photo Mechanic 6, for example, the program was completely re-engineered to take advantage of modern operating systems’ 64-bit performance. When a new version of Photo Mechanic is released, it is always the result of a major development effort. When the number after “Photo Mechanic” changes, that is a new version. Photo Mechanic 4.6.9, Photo Mechanic version 5, Photo Mechanic 6 are all different versions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Greetings from Camera Bits HQ!
