I don't think so see below.

PhotoDesk 3.10 works ok on my Iyo using RISC OS 5.21 (10 Dec 2013) but I
notice that the working copy provided by CJE on the Nut Pi Software disc for
the Raspberry Pi (Also v5.21) is version 3.12. As is my updated copy on the
Iyo.

I suggest that George gets in touch with CJE for an upgrade to PhotoDesk.

Regards Ron.
