Photato is currently in early public beta testing which basically means it's certainly worth giving it a try, but please expect to experience some problems. When you do there are three things you can do:
- Check the FAQ below. These will be fairly thin on the ground to start with, but will evolve over time as more and more people use the add-in and ask the same questions.
- If your question isn't answered in the FAQ, try searching the Support Forum for an answer or at least see if you're in good company. If someone hasn't already documented the problem please help us out by creating a discussion topic yourself. It really will aid us to have the problems listed and it'll help prioritise the fixes.
- Lastly, if all the above fails, you can try to reach us on email at photato.beta@armchairware.com. Please be patient when emailing us, we are working hard on developing Photato and may only be checking our email once a day.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What software do I need to run Photato?
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate. Only the 32bit versions of these have been tested so far. If you have a 64bit version and want to give it a try, please do and let us know how you get on. -
What hardware do I need to run Photato?
If you want to run Photato on your PC you just need a machine that can run the Vista versions above. Alternatively, Photato will run on a Media Center Extender such as the Xbox 360. For instructions of how to set this up see here.The animations can sometimes be a little jerky on a lower powered PC, slower graphics card, or some Media Center Extenders. The more you've spent the better your experience is likely to be. Again let us know how you get on so we can tie the specs down to an acceptable minimum level.
