I purchased Nero Platinum online but don’t seem to have the Premium version of Music Recorder available. What can I do?

Once ‘Music Recorder’ was installed with your Nero Platinum product and you open ‘Music Recorder’ you will see ‘Enter activation code’ at the bottom of the user interface.  Type in your activation key here and ‘Music Recorder’ will automatically become ‘Music Recorder Premium’ with all Premium features enabled.

If you have an earlier version of Nero Platinum that already included ‘Music Recorder’ installed on the same PC, and your ‘Music Recorder Premium’ account is already activated, you do not need to do this again for a later version.

In some cases it may happen that ‘Music Recorder’ will still show ‘Music Recorder Premium’ advertising. In this case please proceed with the following steps.

  1. Click the ‘Upgrade’ button within ‘Music Recorder’ user interface. An upgrade page will open
  2. On this page click the link ‘I purchased Nero Platinum and have a Music Recorder activation code’. The ‘Unlock Music Recorder now’ page will open
  3. Enter your e-mail address and password to register the activation code
  4. Now, enter your activation code into the ‘Activation Code’ box
  5. Then, click the ‘Unlock Music Recorder’ button to connect ‘Music Recorder Premium’ to your e-mail address.

Once you unlocked ‘Music Recorder’ will automatically become ‘Music Recorder Premium’ with all  Premium features enabled.

In case the auto-login does not work, simply sign in manually, using the same e-mail address and password you provided to register your activation code.

Nero KnowHow can be used indpendantly of having a Nero product installed, but full value will be gained when the latter is the case. Having a Nero 2017 product installed (suite & standalone) you can access Nero KnowHow via Nero Launcher as well via the ‘KnowHow’ menu in the individual applications.

Once the app was launched it gives you a selection for the modules on the left hand side. This can be extended or just used in icon view. In small mobile UIs this menu bar can be made visible by touching the three lines top left.

To go back to the blog list jsut click on the ‘X’.

The search field can also be used for typing in a so called ‘web code’. Each FAQ blog has a dedicated web code. So if you find a Nero ‘web code’ mentioned in a ‘Nero User Forum’ entry, in magazines or other public pages just type in this code and Nero KnowHow will get you straight to the answer you are looking for.

How do I make my photos look better with just one or two clicks?

Open ‘Nero MediaHome‘ and attach your smartphone, DSC or USB stick to your PC. ‘Nero MediaHome‘ will detect your device and show files on your device that you can select for importing. If your photos are already availabe on your PC, ‘Nero MediaHome’  will probably already have scanned your system and will show the in images in ‘timeline view’, ‘faces view’, or ‘places view’. You can also add folders manually to ‘Nero MediaHome watched folders or drives ‘ by clicking ‘Options‘ > ‘Library‘.

Now select a photo in browsing view and double click on it. Your photo will open in full screen view. In the bottom panel click ‘Edit Photo‘.

Enhance1

A message box appears telling you that all changes you are to apply in any part of the image editing will be stored in history for an ‘undo‘ at any point later. It is also very convenient that you do not have to save any of the changes applied. Check the box ‘Never show me again‘ and proceed via ‘ok’.

Enhance2

Now the left hand image editing menu opens. Click on ‘Auto Enhance‘ for one click image fixing, or click ‘Auto Exposure‘ and ‘Auto Color‘ to auto enhance these two values individually.  In our example we just clicked
‘Auto Exposure‘ to brighten up the image while color already looked great.

Enhance3

Under ‘Adjust‘ you will find more options for manually fine tuning your images, if wanted.

You can also crop and straighten your images, or remove red eyes. Let us take a look at the crop functions.

Enhance4

As you can see you have handles top, bottom, left, and right to easily crop your image to the wanted dimensions. Click ‘Apply’ for using the selected dimensions. Under ‘Manual‘ you will also find typical useful template sizes to auto-apply (post card sizes, A4, 16:9, 4:3, and more).

Enhance5

Now, let us also take a look at the nice image enhancing effects. You have got a number of vintage photo effect templates here. Just put the mouse over one of the effect templates and you will see a preview immediately. Then just click on the wanted effect template and it will be applied automatically. In our example we used a sepia effect.

Enhance6

That’s how easy it is to enhance your images with ‘Nero MediaHome‘ applying just one or two clicks.

By the way: you can also make use of these easy image enhancing functions when you have a series of images inside of a slideshow project – you don’t even have to leave your project for applying image enhancement.

Just try it out and have fun.
