  Picture Window Pro 8.0 Downloads

Picture Window Pro 8.0 Installer

This installs the main program including the help file and extras (color lines, curves, frames and tiles, sample images, shapes and textures) . The tutorial and reference manuals are not included and must be downloaded separately (see below). Picture Window Pro requires a computer using 64-bit Windows 7 or later. Several features related to advanced high resolution and multiple monitor support require Windows 10.

Picture Window Pro 8.0 Installer – Version 8.0.468 Last updated 17-Nov-2024

A copy of the open source program Alt_Menu_Acceleration_Disabler is installed along with Picture Window Pro to deal with some issues with the way Windows treats the Alt key. When re-installing Picture Window Pro, it is normal to see a warning message regarding the program Alt_menu_acceleration_disabler being in use. Just click OK to continue.

Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable DLLs – Download and run if you get an error message about missing the file MSVCP140.dll or VCRUNTIME140_1.dll when you launch the installer. You should only need to do this once if at all.

Picture Window Pro 8.zip – Last updated 17-Nov-2024

If you have already downloaded the full version as described above and want to update just the core Picture Window program, as a convenience, you can download it separately as a zip file. When you unzip the file (by double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer), you can then drag PWP 8.0.exe to the Picture Window Pro folder (typically C:\Program Files\Digital Light & Color\Picture Window Pro 8). Note that this gets you the latest version of PWP 8.0.exe only and not the latest help file, bitmaps, or any other supporting files and folders. Most of the time, the only thing that changes from one minor release to another is this one file, which is a very much smaller download than the full installer. If you notice missing bitmaps or want to make sure you have the latest help file, download and install the full version. If you just want to catch up on a bug fix or a minor new feature and don't want to download the full version, you can download and install just the executable file. If you want to be safe, download and install the full version.

Slide Show Viewer is a stand-alone program that can display a folder containing JPEG or TIFF files as a slide show. You can customize slide shows, including the use of the so-called Ken Burns effect that lets you pan and zoom images. Slide shows can be operated manually or can be configured to auto-advance after a selected interval. Slides are loaded at full resolution and can be zoomed or scrolled while viewing.
