Guys, when you say this:

"During the evaluation period a watermark will be placed on the images you create"

It is CRIPPLEWARE, not shareware. Shareware is FUNCTIONAL for the evaluation period. I may still try it, but frankly, my faith in your honesty is shaken with that as a starting point.

Hi Fred,
before categorizing shareware versus crippleware I think we should try to understand what 'evaluation period' means. I believe during evaluation a user should be able to test the functionality of the product and it's quality. The purpose of the evaluation is not to actually produce a final usable result.
It's like a taster of a cake, you can taste but not eat a whole piece.
Asking for the whole piece of the cake or an operational end result from the software brings up questions regarding the sincerity of the evaluation you are trying to conduct. Please consider the last statement before making any comments regarding honesty.
