How can anyone review the effects of this plugin prior to purchase?
The thing puts absurd white lines all over the image ...hardly worth wasting the $ to do a print when the results are designed to be a graphical abortion...
Why not a fully functional time based trial like other programs ?
Seems to me the object of a demo is to provide a feasible idea of the output of the product ....

The first demo produced large white lines, the latest one produces smaller pattern lines. Besides, the preview already displays the sharpening without any lines on it. So you can do a screenshot of it.

However, the next demo version will have a more subtle watermark applied instead of the lines. Time limited trial version are very easy to cheat, so we decided against offering one.

If you send me your image and the FocalBlade preset file, I can apply the effect for you and send back the image to you.

I don't think you understand ....
I want to compare actual prints not files ..... the proof is in the printing as they say .....

As I have said ... if you send me your image and the FocalBlade preset file, I can apply the effect for you and send back the image to you. Then you can print it and convince yourself. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next version.
