Greeting Card Factory 8.0 Deluxe Review

Greeting Card Factory 8.0 Deluxe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been trying different Greeting Card Software for some time and have the following programs installed on my computer at this time:
American Greeting CreataCard Plus 4.
American Greeting PRINT! Premium 2.
Hallmark Card Studio 2009( Have renewed since 2004). Will not renew again.
Hallmark Comedy Card Studio.
Printmaster Platinum 2.0.
Card Builder from Pearl Mountain.
Greeting Card Studio.
Greeting Card Factory is the best yet. It has all of the features you find on the other programs plus it offers plenty of templates for every occasion. It is the most intuitive program and has plenty of clip art, sentiments and photos. It allows you to alter the printing on the front of the card as well as the verse inside. One of the best features is the ability to control the size of the thumbnail to choose your template. All of the other programs only offer you a small thumbnail to pick the template you want but Greeting Card Factory allows you to enlarge the selections so you can actually read what is on the card as you are making your selection. Much better than switching back and forth till you get the template you want.

Calendar Creator 10 Review

Calendar Creator 10
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This package is bloated with fancy pictures that have no meaning to the average user who is trying to create a personal calendar. However, the user can import their own favorite pictures.
The choices of holidays for various nationalities does not include Chinese holidays. Image ignoring 20% of the world's population!
The final issue which prompted me to return my package to Broderbund was that the software does not allow you to create a split day-cell at the end of the month. When the last day of the month falls on a Sunday, you should be able to combine that cell with the one above. This allows you to have a calendar with 5 rows instead of 6. Despite the fact that Broderbund is at version 10 of this package, it seems that they've never noticed that most calendars follow this format. This is a Broderblunder.
Response on the telephone support line is slow and is not toll-free.
Save your money and give this one a miss.

That program crash often. It might look nice while it run or the retail box. But it take a long time to start, it's slow. I pay 5$, but I regret. The calendar is lock to a certain date, so you have to buy the newer version.
My old Print master was able to do calendar for all years. And nicer, easier to use faster.

Calendar Creator Review

I am a long time user of Calendar Creator and purchased this "new" version because my version 12 has been hanging anytime you try to use the file menu. Broderbund had no tech support solutions to resolve that issue, so I hoped that a new version of the software would correct it.
To my disappointment, Calendar Creator Platinum is NOT a new edition, but merely version 12 repackaged. If you have version 12 under the Calendar Creator Deluxe package, you already have this software. Even the installation images still use the CC Deluxe pictures.
Now I'm stuck with two copies of software that doesn't want to work (the "new" version has the exact same problem as the "old" version).

I love this Calendar Program. Best one I've had. I print our yearly calendars every December for the next year. I added all the Holidays, family birthdays, anniversaries, and yearly appointments. Add pictures or many other options. Once you set it up, thats it. You just print the same calendar events year after year. You can print weekly, montly or yearly calendars. I wouldn't be without this program.

PrintMaster Platinum 2.0 Review

PrintMaster Platinum 2.0
Average Reviews:

I have been a loyal Printmaster user for years. I have upgraded many times because of the ease of use and the variety of design elements available. I recently got a Mac so I purchased the new 2.0 version to use with my new Mac computer. WOW, AM I DISAPPOINTED. The product STINKS!!! Everything that I loved about the older versions is gone. First of all, you have to install all of the art onto your computer. This is a 23G program! But still, the templates are limited, the clip art is awful and I can't seem to layer them onto my own designs without the white background showing around the clip art, so if I have a colored background in my design, I can't get the clip art on my project without the white around it. I imagine it can be done because the white is not in the ready-made templates, but I can't seem to edit it out. If anyone knows how, please let me know. I can't copy and paste outside clip art into it either. It just puts a box with the name of the item and there is no way to activate the contents. As I said, I have been using PrintMaster products for a long time and I can usually figure out most software programs without a problem, but this version has me so frustrated that I will probably uninstall it from my computer. It is not worth the enormous amount of space it takes up. Sadly, I probably can't return the opened item so I am just going to have to eat the $39.99 I paid for this inferior version of a once-loved product. I will try to contact the company to see is there is a satisfaction guarantee, but I'm not hopeful. I would NOT recommend this version of PrintMaster.
UPDATE: Thank you Amazon for your great return policy. You sent a return shipment label and bar code immediatly when I asked to return for a refund on this Horrible Product. Initial shipping was free, so for less than $5 for return shipping, it is well worth it to be rid of PrintMaster 2.0. AMAZON IS THE BEST!

Broderbund Print Shop 21 Deluxe Review

Broderbund Print Shop 21 Deluxe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using Print Shop for many, many years, primarily to make greeting cards and note cards. I've upgraded as upgrades became available and today upgraded from version 20 to version 21 deluxe. I also use Norton A/V which has been around for many years and is in very widespread use.
It seems that the two are almost terminally incompatible. PS v. 21 has many projects that are only available online and must be downloaded. There are many of these in the Printed Greeting cards and constitute all of the projects in the Photo Picture Cards and the Creative Touch cards.
Although, at the price charged for this software, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ON THE CD"S AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DOWNLOADING, when downloading is tried, you will get the message "The online server can not deliver the file".
When you search their nearly non-existent technical support section, for a solution, you are told "It has been found that certain software security systems do not allow communication between your computer and Broderbund's file servers. You will need to contact your security software's company for information on how to allow this communication or SIMPLY DISABLE THE SOFTWARE TO ALLOW IT." (Emphasis mine)
It thus seems that the makers of PS 21 (Broderbund? Encore? RiverDeep?) could not be bothered to work out these incompatibilities with one of the most popular and widely installed anti-virus software programs on the market and put their program on the market anyway. Their solution to the inevitable incompatibility which they knew full well existed: Simply disable your anti virus protection......and risk having your system destroyed.
Is this worth paying them another $42 for a questionable upgrade?
I plan to uninstall v.21 and return it tomorrow; stay with v. 20 and cross Broderbund off my list for all future purchases of this type of software.
