Two weeks ago, Danish medium format camera company Phase One bought digital asset management software Expression Media from Microsoft. If you can recall, exactly four years ago, Microsoft bought the software, (then called iView MediaPro), from British software company iView Multimedia.
Now here’s the good part:
• If you own Expression Media 2, Phase One will give you Capture One 5 (but not the Pro version).
• If you have Capture One, you get a free copy of Expression Media 2.
• If you own an old copy of iView Media or iView MediaPro, you get Expression Media 2. It says the offer is good for any previous version, but the application form asks for a serial number format that applies only to iView Media(Pro) 3.
This offer ends June 30, 2010.
A cynic might think that since they’re giving away two-year old Expression Media 2, then a new version is coming soon. Nevertheless, they say it’s not wise to look a gift horse in the mouth.
