PrintMaster Platinum 11.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Printmaster 11 Platinum is the latest version of Printmaster - the all-in-one graphics suite by Broderbund (Mindscape, Learning Company, etc.). I have used Printmaster since version 7 - and been thru the two subsequent upgrades (8 and 10). Each upgrade made some nice improvements to what was (is) an excellent all around graphics suite. Among some of the improvements in version 11 are: the ability to change a greeting card layout from a quarter-fold to a half-fold (and vice-versa), easier interface and more intuitive tools, an improved photo workshop, the ability to make matching items for a party such as tablecloth and napkins, among many others. Printmaster has thousands of beautiful pre-made graphics for greeting cards which print gorgeous, vibrant colors using a nice color printer with good card stock (I use HP greeting card stock, Hallmark, or Canon - all good). This new version is well worth the price with its improvements. If you have version 8 installed, though, download the patch from the Expressit website before installing version 11, or uninstall version 8 first. You won't be disappointed!

PrintMaster Platinum 11 provides tools to create photo albums, party sets, Web pages, T-shirts, home and garden crafts, and more. Users can pick from thousands of ready-made templates and images or start from scratch.

The Party Creator Wizard allows you to create coordinated party favors with a click (hat, banner, place card, invitation, and centerpiece). Turn any project into a screen saver, or attach sound/video and send it online. The enhanced design center features ease of use and multimedia tutorials.

PrintMaster Platinum 15 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a new computer with windows XP and decided if i was going to be running the newest Windows I should run the newest Printmaster. I upgraded from Platinum 11 and I'm sending back Platinum 15 and re-installing 11. More than half the images are online now. You get three art discs and have to sort through online garbage to get the rest. It's to get you to sign up for their Million image club for another $$. They took away some features and added nothing. Quality went down. Wait for them to bring it back up before upgrading.

American Greetings Creatacard Gold 8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used earlier versions of CreataCard and have been very pleased with every upgrade. But not this time. While there are many nice graphics, the majority (and in some categories - all)of graphics require you be online to even view them. If you 'paste' the item, then you have to wait while the graphic downloads. Many of the artwork that had previously been on my PC are now only available if I'm online. I have written the company; they acknowledged that the majority of graphics were online and advised me to turn off that feature or to upgrade!!! I told them I wanted my money back.

Avery Design Pro Deluxe 5.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this program because I was continually having problems with other programs I used to make business cards, address labels, and especially labels for CD's. I could never get them to align properly on Avery media, no matter what. They would always turn out off kilter, which made the labels look less than professional. With Design Pro 5.0, the first time I tried to make CD labels, Viola!! - perfectly centered. I consider this an extremely good buy. Only one minor drawback, doesn't have as many designs available as some other programs, but that is a minor price to pay.

Print Artist 4.0 Version PLATINUM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use PrintShop, Print Master and Print Artist. Print Artist has, by far, the best art gallery of any of my graphic programs.
The interfaces are quite similar so it is easy to move back and forth among them, depending on what I want to do. I often copy and paste art work from Print Artist into the other programs.
I also love Print Artist's Pre-Designed Project gallery. It has everything from gift bags and boxes to place cards, place mats and coasters.

Art Explosion Publisher Pro Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nova is a company that buys software from other companies and then they jazz it up with templates, other software, graphics, etc. For the end user this can mean a great deal. You may not get the latest version but you will get solid software with lots of extras. I usually can figure out what software the product really is, not so with this one. What I can tell you is that it is pretty high end as it offers tons of features not found in lesser packages including the ability to create PDF files and Postscript (with color separations) for professional publishing. It also has high end features like the ability to create a table on contents. Add to all of this a quality photo editor. The photo editor sort of looks like an older version of PhotoPaint. It doesn't have wizards (like automatic color balance)...it is strickly manual. With that said, it does has higher end controls like "levels and curves." Remember that your getting this program for FREE. Add to all of this TONS of professionally designed ready made templates and (they say, I have not counted!) 100,000 clip art images. Some of the images are really fun like those BW ad people from the 1950s. Nova has a $30 competative rebate going on too making Publisher Pro super cheap. For years I have used MS Publisher 2000 for most of my publishing needs (including producing a company newsletter). I think this product offers a lot more than Microsoft Publisher. A definate buy.

Broderbund PrintMaster Platinum 16.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This program has lots of projects for you to choose from. It is easy to use, also. The biggest downfall is that the photo fixing and enhancing are not the greatest. You are limited to a few minor fixes on the photo itself, and enhancing is the same. You can enhance a lot better with Creating Keepsakes. Neither program has much to actually fix a photo. If you are looking for photo enhancing and fixing, move on. If you want great projects for everything from photos to making coloring book pages for kids, this is for you.

American Greetings Creatacard Platinum 6.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used Creatacard from the beginning when it first came out. As the versions have come along, they have made many improvements. It takes a little bit to get to know the in's & outs of the program but it's well worth the time. I have not purchased a store-bought card in I don't know how long. I especially like being able to start with one of their cards & make it my own (especially when I can change just about anything I want to (like the verse, artwork, or the size of the card). I spend many hours playing with the program. I have been able to make some very beautiful cards. I would recommend the program to anyone who is willing to sit down with it and learn it. You can create some really beautiful cards.

(More customer reviews)If you already have an earlier version, keep it! This was a waste of my time. You spend a lot of time trying to download from their website and cards that I had with the earlier version were no longer available. I returned my copy fast. The Platinum version is just as bad. Believe me, I tried both versions and am sticking with my old ones. They need to come up with something better in the future or they will loose me as a customer.

Corel Print House 6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this a few years ago because i used an earlier version & had liked it a lot, but I found this difficult to use because it has something like 6 CD's that you have to insert in order to find clipart images. A real pain! I think I tried to use it maybe 3 or 4 times before I got totally fed up with all the disc changes.

American Greetings Creatacard Gold 6.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not used American Greetings Creatacard 6.0, so like you, I'm reading reviews to see if I should buy it.
I loved Creatacard 3.0, so I went out and bought Creatacard 5.0.
However, I had the shock of my life when the wonderful workable interface of Creatacard 3.0 was modified, to one that was a cross between it and the inferior Printmaster programs.
Come to find out these companies merged at this point in time.
Another shock upon buying the Creatacard Gold 5.0 versus the Creatacard Gold 3.0, was that most of the cards (over 75% that I checked) were duplicates and I mean exact duplicates of the 3.0 version. Buying a new program didn't get me more new cards. Gold 3.0 adverizes 6000+ greeting cards and 14,000 projects and designs.
Gold 5.0 cleverly does not list the number of cards, but has 600,000+ project possibilities. If you want it for that I suppose you are okay.
However, and back to the Gold 6.0 version advertized here. The number of cards is listed as 3900, quite a bit less than the 6000+ than the Gold 3.0 had. Who knows what the 5.0 had.
So I guess what I'm saying is if you are in it for the cards and own a previous American Greeting Cards program, don't bother, until they get their act together again. If you just want crafts etc. You might be okay.
If I am wrong, I would love to know about it. I'm looking for a good card program and I found one once in the 3.0 version, so I'm open to suggestions.

The Print Shop Pro Publisher 22 Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't be fooled by the box saying how many they've sold anyone who knows anything about software knows you cannot return an opened software box so sold means nothing.
This software in unimpressive, I bought it because I needed to do my wedding invitation and I liked the description thinking I could use it for may other things as well.
Well I ended up using WORD for my invitations, yes WORD, why because word actually did everything I wanted that this program said it would do but didn't! I spent HOURS trying to use it's "simple" templates to no avail they would not print correctly or in the size they claimed to be. In the end I am out the money I spent and pretty mad about it.

My Labels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used a previous version of My Labels, and was quite pleased with it. After changing computers a few times, the old version would no longer work with WinXP, so I "upgraded" to the newer version. Here's my gripe list:
1. When I tried to open my old My Labels files, it kindly offered to convert them to the new format. How convenient! Not at all. The data gets converted (duh), but the label design disappears.
2. Entering data is unbelievably frustrating. If you have fields that are the same, you can copy and paste, but that's it. Ctrl-D is supposed to work, but it doesn't really, making you type the same things over and over. Modern software is supposed to increase productivity, isn't it?
3. This is really a stamp selling program. They actually only want you to buy stamps, the software only being a hook to bring you in.
4. Placement of objects is very clutsy and it's difficult to put things close together.
5. Very limited creative options.
I'll never buy this again.
