I just downloaded myself a copy and it was indeed free! Don't quite know what I will use it for yet, but whatever :)
Free for 30 days... then the credit card is charged. Thanks for the find though!
Not true. If you download from the link in the OP then it's the full version and they send you a serial code to the email address you provided. Mine's working just fine, thanks.
Note, however, that if you go to the main page it's a trial version, so presumably they won't send you a code unless you pay. Judging by the page title this is some sort of twitter (ugh) promotion.
I downloaded it (no credit card info required) and once I got to the download page it gave the serial number. I installed and entered the serial number. Everything seems to have gone through perfectly smoothly. I'm off and running. No trial!!
Thanks for the heads up
in the link, if you read the text at the top, it talks about charging your credit card. however it doesn't actually ask you for credit card info. i think that's where the confusion is coming from.
That page of info made me balk with the mention of the credit card. Everything is free, I guess they just used a default page.
Just another confirmation, it is free. Save the e-mail you get so you can reinstall if you need to reformat your PC/Mac.

I am glad so many are finding it useful! Enjoy :)
Hey Redcap, thanks for pointing this out!
I have been considering using anime images for my card artwork and I'm sure this will come in handy in the long run. Cheers!

That is weird, did you try and download it or are you just assuming this is what they do? I downloaded it, never asked for a credit card and everything I read said absolutely free. Have no pop up screen saying trial or anything, works as if it is the full version. What lead you to saying this, give sources so if it is a scam we can avoid it. But everything I have seen it is legit.
