Hi,
As it happens, there was quite a large amount of work in producing the 64 bit version beyond just setting the compiler switch.
But I don't think that's important.
There are two ways of looking at us charging a different price for our 32 bit versions and 64 bit versions. Either the 64 bit version is higher or the 32 bit version is lower. Compared to the prices of the other companies you mentioned it seems like we fall more in the latter camp, giving a discount for the 32 bit software, as their products seem to be priced pretty highly compared to us. And I presume you don't want us to increase the price of the 32 bit version so it matches the 64 bit version!
The 64 bit version is for people who want to process very large files, as output by what are expensive cameras. If someone is buying an expensive camera, I think we're justified in getting them to spend a tiny fraction extra on software to support that camera's resolution.
