Here’s answers to some of the most asked questions I’ve been getting….
Q. Do I need Photoshop to use the software?
You don’t need Photoshop for Foldsy, but you do need image making software. The course I made is using Photoshop though because it was the only one I’ve found with all the right tools and settings to make the best quality.
You can transfer the lessons knowledge into any software you’re comfortable with using. The main difficulties you may find is when making words because I can’t find any that allow you to change and manipulate text as well as Photoshop does. Images are fine in any and the tips on sizing etc are universal and will improve your patterns.
Q. I bought the previous version of Foldsy, do I have to buy the new one?
All original Foldsy customers get upgraded for free and were emailed a new license and download information on Wednesday 11th May from foldsy@allinthefolds.co.uk Please check your spam/junk folders if you’ve not seen it.
Q. If I buy a new laptop in the future can I transfer my Foldsy over?
If/when you purchase a new laptop send me an email and I will send you a new activation code no problem and the software will always be in your orders to download again if needed. You can also back up & restore so you wont lose any patterns!
Q. Will it work on a Chromebook or notebook?
Unfortunately not sorry!
Q. Can it run on more than one laptop?
Each Purchase can be active on one device only. I will however happily send you a new key if you buy a new laptop or have problems which cause your laptop to need factory resetting (Makes me want to cry just thinking about a factory reset! argh) Second device subscriptions may be offered in the future.
Q. Is there a maximum number of cuts per page?
Nope!
Q. Is there a subscription? Do I have to purchase again yearly?
There’s now a 1 year option and Lifetime option. (Shorter trials may be included in the future)
The Lifetime option includes a reasonable use limit on free re-activations, after 3 years/5 activations there may be a small admin fee to generate a new licence but you will never have to repurchase the whole software again.
The 1 year option is not auto-renewed, you will not be locked into a subscription and is up to you if you would like to renew ♥
Q. Is there a limit on how many patterns I can make?
Nope! Make as many as you want, no daily/monthly limits, no extra ‘credits’ to buy.
Q. Is there a min/max number of pages and book height?
Nope! The preview may struggle if you decide to make a 5cm book with 1000 pages but it will still create the pattern for you!
Q. Can I sell the patterns I make with it?
Of course! The patterns you design and run through the software are yours to do with as you please. Only the software itself is not to be shared/sold.
Q. Will this Work on a Mac?
The Mac version is also in development. It’s almost ready! It works on Macs right now but doesn’t have a fancy installer yet. If you’d like to be updated to when it’s available sign up to the Mac list that you’ll find further down this page.
