 exasperating May 25, 2003

The standard version is just a teaser to get you to buy the upgrade to the "Deluxe" version. After getting the software installed, you then find that it can't even change the paper size. The on-line instructions aren't customized for each version so you'll spend a lot of time wondering why selections aren't available. Of course with the deluxe you get video editing, which if you don't need it is just software bundling at it's worst.
Very Poor Photo Printing May 14, 2003

Bottom line: does a poor job of printing photo's. Tried the help desk, but they knew little more than me. I wanted to like this program. It's the only one that I could find that would allow me to print the inside of a card and then the outside. That would negate the need to feed a printed photo back through my printer to print the inside. I have a 2ghz Dell and a Canon S820 printer which does a great job printing photo's. I inserted a high res photo into my card. The print out was very grainy. I tried lightening the photo and it helped a little. I then printed the same photo OUTSIDE of Print Shop and it looked great Obviously the problem is within Print Shop. I sent it back. I can't believe it would print photo's so bad, but it did.
 Good Enough December 10, 2002

I have enjoyed using this program. I haven't had any problems with it. There are plenty of graphics, with more "free" ones available online. The photo tools are nice and east to use. If you want a straight-forward print program to make signs, flyers, cards, envelopes, newsletters, etc., this is for you.

Broderbund is very deceptive when they say you can save your files as PDF's for bulk printing at your local printshop. As someone who works for a print shop I can tell you we CRINGE when we get these files. All pdfs are not created equal and there are invaribly problems with anything created in this program that is not going to be placed on the glass and copied.You want home publishing, get MS Publisher. ...

I borrowed this from my sister in-law, and should have known something was wrong when she said, "keep it". It's time consuming and lead's to alot of frustration. If you only want basic, simple project's, this might work. I was dissapointed in it's overall capabilities.
