We are pleased to announce the immediate release of Batch It Ultra v4.03. This version adds the “Fit Watermark In Image” option under Watermark Properties which would allow the watermark to be resized to fit into the images if the image dimensions are smaller than that of the watermark.

We are pleased to announce the release of the following applications
These contain the two bug fixes which causes the previous images not to clear and a small rectangle box to appear when Resizing By Frame is selected.
The updates are available for immediate download from our website.
Typically with the release of a new major version, we would discontinue the sales of the older version. However, we understand that some of you prefer the old style interface and as such are putting Batch It Ultra v3 back on sale. However, there would no longer be any further minor updates as we retire the older development tool which was used to build Batch It Ultra v3.
We are pleased to announce the release of Batch It Ultra v4.01. This version corrects a bug which causes the ICC Profile table not to be included in some instances. It also corrects a bug fix for the Command Line and Server editions where individual files are included in the parameter but wildcards are applied instead.
We are pleased to announce the immediate release of Batch It Ultra v4.00 . This is a major upgrade to our flagship Batch It Ultra v3.

There are 3 Versions of Batch It Ultra v4 being launched.
All Existing Customers of Batch It Ultra 3 would be entitled to a special upgrade pricing. As promised, all Batch It Ultra 3 customers who purchased Batch It Ultra 3 between September 1st 2011 and March 22nd 2012 would be entitled to a free upgrade. We would be sending an email announcement before the end of March 2012.
We are performing additional testings and debugging of Batch It Ultra v4 and thus we are pushing the release date to early April 2012.
Any purchase of Batch It Ultra v3 between September 2011 and April 2012 will get a free upgrade to Batch It Ultra v4. Do watch out for it.
We are in the midst of developing Batch It Ultra v4 which is a major re-write to the current Batch It Ultra v3 which was introduced in 2004. This will put it inline with the current offerings we have for Windows.
We are preserving as many features from the old version to the new version and adding new ones. However, due to several new constraints and other related changes, we are dropping several features. The prominent of which is the Thumbnail Gallery Generator. We would be looking at working on a brand new version of Web It which would be offered to you free of charge when it is ready.
This new version would include a parameter based support which would allow you to run the application as a command line application or as a Windows Scheduler based application. This support would be offered as beta version when the new release of Batch It Ultra v4 is introduced.
We plan to release Batch It Ultra sometime in December 2011 or early January 2012 and any customer who purchase this from September 1st 2011 would get this major upgrade for free.
The partial delay of this update was due to several reasons. One of which was the shifting of some of our resources in developing the Mac and Cross-Platform Applications while we waited for clear directions from Microsoft as to Windows 8. At the offset, it did appear that Windows 8 would only support HTML5 apps which would mean a major rewrite of the application but with the introduction of the Developer Preview version last week, it is clear that they would run native Windows application too on the desktop platform. As such, we would be moving on with the development of Batch It Ultra v4.
Thank you for your patience.
We are pleased to announce the reduction of prices for Batch It Ultra from $79.95 to $58.95 and Web It from $24.95 to $14.95.
These updated prices are reflected on our website.
The year 2011 is an exciting year for us. If you visited us in the past, you would see a number of changes made to our website. We tried to maintain the page name conversion so if you are linking to us, you would not need to change the links. This new design allow us to make changes to our website faster and without the risk of making too much mistakes.
Our Command Line tools (AutoBatch It and Batch Image Commander) have been discontinued as the command line platform is too restrictive for our development and it does not do our software justice. Moreover, sales for our command line tools have dropped tremendously and those made them too expensive to maintain. If you purchased these applications in the past, you can still download the latest version from our website.
We have implement limited command line features to our Batch TIFF Resizer and would do the same for our upcoming Batch It Ultra later this year.
A new change you might have noticed would be the inclusion of Mac OS X applications. Five of them for the start and more to follow. These applications are designed on the Mac OS X platform for the Mac user and as far as possible, the applications have their counterpart in the Windows platform. The 21 days trial version of the Mac OS X applications are available on our website and you could purchase from our website or from the Mac App Store. Currently two application, CM Batch Photo Resizer and ComboTIFF are available on the Mac App Store and the rest should follow in the next couple of months.
