Re: Ulead Photoimpact X3 Crack Key
Nereu Theiss
I'm wondering if you could please, please add file support for ULead's PhotoImpact .ufo files. It would be great to import files and later save them as .afphoto. Is that something you can add? Happy to help beta test the feature or provide files to make it happen. Thanks!
You still have PhotoImpact? I think Corel discontinued it several years ago. If you do have a working version, like X3, I'd recommend using it to convert your UFO files to a format like TIFF, that can be read in AP.
Yes, I still have a working copy of PhotoImpact. Corel discontinued it but it is available from a new developer called Nova Development. I stopped using it when I made the switch to Affinity. The problem is UFO files, like aphoto and psd, contain layers and I don't want to loose those or their attributes. I used PI for over 15 years, so that's probably three years of not stop opening and saving ... LOL With AP offering support for other formats I wouldn't think this would be too hard from Serif to bust out in an update.
My reply above was due to the UFO format being a discontinued format, Serif might not want to support it. I agree it would be nice if they did. I just installed PI X3 to check somethings. The only other program I'm aware of that supports UFO, keeping it's layers intact, is Corel's PaintShop Pro. I just opened some UFO files from PI in PSP 2020, and all the layers were intact, nothing flattened. So I'm pretty sure most all earlier versions should, at least back to after Corel bought it from Jasc. Just another way to open them and convert.
I am still using photoimpact and have a lot of ufo files. It would be nice if my next editing software could open them. Photoimpact is not compatible with Windows 11 so I am going to have to move to something.
Unfortunately Corel (and Nova), are the only producers of software that can open UFO files. It's a proprietary working file, just like afphoto, afdesign, and afpub are working file formats for Serif's Affinity products. It's probably not in Serif's sights.
I tried opening some UFO files using Paintshop Pro 2023 and Photo Paint. Sadly, they no longer will open the UFO file format. While PSP shows in their format list UFO format, it freezes, and must be forced closed via the task manager.
So my advice is if you can still run PhotoImpact, and want to access those UFO files, use it to convert the files to PSD. PI will save the layers/objects, and Affinity Photo will open the PSD files.
Thank you Ron,
Yes, I am aware that it is a proprietary file. I am not sure of the significance of it being a working file but, Libre Office can open Word files, and Photoimpact can open Photoshop files etc. so, if Serif were to put .ufo files in their sights they would, I think, theoretically be able to open them without loss of layers.
I think that there are still quite a few people who use Photoimpact still but since it won't install on W11 (I hear) these people will be looking for somewhere to go. I am sure Corel would prefer we move to Paintshop Pro but I don't like Corel and have heard good things about Affinity.

I added to my prior post. PSP will no longer open UFO files. I did install PI x13, and tested some formats to save the UFO files to. PI will save to PSD and the layers are preserved. AP will open those PSD files with the layers intact. That's about the only option I can see.
Ola, s complementando na conversa. Utilizo photoimpact desde 2008. Hoje utilizo a ultima versao X3 no windows 11 e funciona normalmente. O nico problema que vejo uma limitao de memria quando estou editando arquivos muito grandes. Tentei realizar coisas no photoshop mas a facilidade do photoimpact no me desprende dele.
It worked. I could open and move my Photoimpact (.ufo file) objects around.
I still see no reason to leave Photoimpact, however. Software does not rust, rot, nor in any way wear out. I do not seem to have grown new desires. I think that Photoimpact is not compatible with Windows 11 so if I am able to upgrade to Win11 I may have to rethink.
Targeting casual, enthusiast and more creative users, PhotoImapact 11 boasts a host of new features for photo manipulation.
Users can choose from five different interfaces through the My Workspace palette, including: basic, standard, graphic design and web design, or they can customise their own workspace. The Browse Manager has been improved to offer faster performance.
Rectify tonal inaccuracies automatically with the new SmartCurves feature, while the SmartRemove tool removes unwanted elements from multiple shots, which can then be combined to create a composite image. You can also correct chromatic aberration, fix white balance inaccuracies by adjusting the colour temperature and remove an item from its background using the Object Extraction Wizard. For the first time PhotoImpact offers RAW/DNG, and Ulead confirms that the list of cameras supported will be extended in the future. Other features include 16-bit support.
Enhancements have been made to PhotoImpact?s graphic design tools, 2500 effects, 800 objects, while and a selection of DVD backgrounds, frames and buttons are located in the EasyPalette. The Composite Designer can be used for creating lower-third graphics.
Photo Explorer 8.6, Ulead Cool 360, GIF Animator 5 and PhotoImpact Album 11 are all supplied with PhotoImpact 11, which will be available from www.ulead.co.uk for 49.99. Registered users of previous versions will be able to upgrade for 27.99.
