 Very useful program for home projects May 26, 2009

I've been using Print Shop for a long time. Broderbund gave me a freebie 1.0 when I switched from PC to Mac several years ago and I still use Version 1.0. It's true that there's no comparison in the amount of art available as in the PC version, but there's so much clip art on the web! I finally learned to make clip art backgrounds transparent with Gimp so that I can use web clip art more easily. I recently completed a little book project for my granddaughters using Gimp, Corel, Adobe Elements AND Print Shop. I don't know the other programs as well as I know Print Shop so there were many things I just could not do with them that were so easy on Print Shop. It definitely has advantages with it's drag and drop features. You can save clip art right to iPhoto and then drag to Print Shop from there. You can do some cropping on PS, but it is generally easier with Gimp. Still, there are some photos that are easier to crop on PS and I use it frequently. You can create any color of background with any opacity level. You can layer without using multiple windows so you can see your entire project as you go along. It isn't for the professional, but it works great for home projects and I wouldn't want to be without it--yet. Naturally, being a fairly simple program, the learning curve is not so great as with more complicated software, but if you are going to do a project only now and then, that is a true advantage. It's a snap to make business cards and greeting cards if you have just the right size stationery. I gave this ranking because it is good within its class.

I used this program at least 15 years ago when I was a teacher and one would think they would have improved it over the years. Sure it's better than that first version, that my students loved, however the library of graphics is stale, and there are quirks that make it difficult to use. It would not take a lot to make "The Printshop" a great program however the company has not chosen to upgrade to my satisfaction. It's usable but could be improved.

I purchased this software to replace PrintMaster after having moved from PC to Mac to make school flyers and kids bday cards. I can do this on just about any program but what I most wanted was a nice, big, clip art collection. The clip art is just plain sad.

Wow! I'm really disappointed with this program. I worked with various versions of Print Shop when I had a PC and was excited to buy the same product for my Mac, but I am VERY unhappy with my purchase. I bought this program because I needed clip art and was tired of searching around on the Internet for pictures--but this program SUCKS in the clip art department. The photographs are all VERY dated, and look like they were taken in 1990--I'm talking big overly teased hair, high wasted tapered jeans with baggy sweaters and ridiculously large glasses. For an $80 dollar purchase, the quality of the photos are completely UNACCEPTABLE! Even the pictures not involving people look dated. If you want this product simply for layouts and labels (iWork does not have label making capabilities) then sure buy this, but I would honestly just say go buy Microsoft Office for Mac with Publisher--you'll be happier with the fact that you can download thousands of clip art and images from their site for free.
Take home message: DON'T BUY THIS!

Not as user friendly as the older version of Print Shop Ensemble III. It would have been nice to be able to install on a second computer so I could transfer files back and forth between home and work.
