Great software. But why is there a Registration option in the Help menu now? I don't remember seeing it there before.

It's been there for ages. If you register you get to see your name in Help-->About. That's it.
Another thing is that if you try to save high res jpeg2000 file, it will ask you to register the plugin as thats not free.
