Registration is fun. Register at this site to get an email. Click the link in the email to go to a store at FastSpring to enter a lot of personal information. Thankfully, you can enter a lot of zeroes - address of 000, county of 000, etc.
Annoyingly (on Windows, anyway) it installs into a JixPix folder, rather than an Aquarella folder, so in a couple of months when you want to run it, you have to remember the company who made it, not the product name. /grrrr/
Loading an image from the clipboard would be handy, rather than having to save a photo from an online library, then load it back up.
Overall, the results were very good. We had to put our cat down recently, so an image I've got of her (https://pasteboard.co/JleISbQ.png) turned into a 'painting' (https://pasteboard.co/JleJJM1.jpg). Nice that there is enough cat detail, but the book detail is 'lost'. There are many styles to choose (here's another https://pasteboard.co/JleKpDP.jpg) and each one can be tweaked further - a lot of options.
Slap this on a canvas print, and it would look pretty good.

Had to receive 3 emails to complete registration. First one with a link to the website which did not work. Then after commenting here, received a second email saying my order was "processing" and I would receive another email. Only in the 3rd email was the registration serial number that finally did activate the program. The program looks great but the process of registration was ridiculous and time consuming, leaving a bitter taste.

As others have said, the registration process is somewhat convoluted (hint: "terminate the order" means complete it, don't cancel it. And...the JIX number given after completion is NOT the serial number - it is sent in a separate email.)

Having said that, seems to be nice, light, fast software. Converts images to watercolor faster than Photoshop CC 2020, in my couple of experiments.

Something for the developers - there needs to be a File > Close option (if there is, I can't find it). I see that you can drag a new image on top of another, but does that automatically close the first image?

Minor issues. Thanks for the giveaway!

The JixiPix company wants to know all Your personal data with telephone number etc, but they don't give any their contact details. You can't find on the JixiPix web site, any contact informations (phones, adresses etc).
This is not fair. This is suspicious.

Followed the instructions to the letter. Got all the way through the order and there was no "serial number" just an 18 character (3 letter and 15 numbers) order number. Copied that but the program will not accept it. When cutting and pasting, the program eliminates the letters and then says the numbers are not sufficient. It needs a 16 digit number. Have tried several times to no avail. Cannot register the product even after supplying unnecessary personal information to this company.
