Operating System and Software Requirements

To use the AstroFlat Pro plug-in, you must be running a compatible image editor program on a PC using one of the following operating systems:

• Windows 10, 64 bit or 32 bit
• Windows 8.1, 64 bit or 32 bit
• Windows 8, 64 bit or 32 bit
• Windows 7, 64 bit or 32 bit

• Corel® PHOTO-PAINT®
• Corel® PaintShop®
• Corel® PhotoImpact®
• Computerinsel PhotoLine
• Paint.NET
• IrfanView
• ACDSee

• Any other editor program that can use Adobe® Photoshop® 8BF style filter plug-ins*

Hardware Requirements

• Your CPU must support the SSE2 instruction set (Intel processors made since 2001 and AMD processors since 2003 have SSE2). If your computer is older than this, consider buying your kid a new computer so that you can have his/hers.
• While we advertise no specific minimum RAM requirement, the more RAM you have, the larger the images you'll be able to process.

OpenGL 2.1, FBO, and Texture Unit Requirements

• AstroFlat Pro can run only on PC systems supporting OpenGL version 2.1 or greater.
• Your OpenGL implementation (i.e., your display driver) must provide Framebuffer Object (FBO) support, which has been a specified part of OpenGL for many years.
• Your OpenGL implementation must also provide 3 or more texture units (available in virtually all modern OpenGL implementations).

* We have made every effort to make AstroFlat Pro compatible. As we test with additional editors we will list them here. It is our intent for our product to be compatible with every current photo editor that uses 8BF plug-ins. We suggest you download it and try it, and by all means let us know if you have any problems!

Try Before You Buy

• AstroFlat Pro can be downloaded and run in a fully-functional fashion for a period of fifteen (15) days without charge and without obligation. This will allow you to ensure that it is compatible with the photo editor you use and to see just how amazing the results are for yourself. In order to continue using AstroFlat Pro beyond the trial period you will need to purchase a software license and activate your copy.
