(
4.3 is Used by Moose in the new Tutorial Videos, so Download this version to follow along!):

Download & run DigitalPro 4.3. Includes initial XMP support, faster keyword editing, GPS Compass info, "star" image ratings, "Vista" / Black theme. Plus, DNG support, Color Magic, Portrait Magic. It is free to all licensed users of DigitalPro 4.

 

If you already have .NET installed and are having trouble installing the regular version of DigitalPro, you can download a version that does not check for .NET.

Problems Downloading?
Solutions to possible Problems:

  • If you have any issues with the current release version, feel free to use the Beta version from the bottom of this page. There is a list of bug fixes which are included from each release.

  • If you have trouble with the DigitalPro installer downloading either the .NET framework (dotnetfx.exe), you can have Windows download them directly for you from Windows update. Once you have successfully loaded the .NET framework you can then re-run the DigitalPro install.
     
  • If you have a slow connection or need to install from a CD, our distributor WRP will send you an evaluation CD. E-mail them with your postal information at: info@moosepeterson.com.
     
  • If DigitalPro crashes when you first launch it, it is almost certainly a mis-match between EXE & DLL files from a previous version. Try un-installing, manually moving all the EXE & DLL files in the DigitalPro folder to a backup folder, then installing the new version.
