Review: Easy to use, (would prefer more advanced user ability to manipulate the templates) and great for the beginner.

Summary: NOT user friendly software
Review: I bought this software because the software I was using (Creative Photo Albums III) is no longer supported and I was having problems with it on my new computer. My Scrapbook Edition is very difficult to use and I consider myself very computer literate (I write software for a living). I tired to import some clip art from a disk and it came in very tiny. Ok, I can resize it right? Only if I want it to be very blurry. Creative Photo Albums took the same clip art and resized it great. Another problem: The image I was importing was a chess piece. I wanted to place it on top of a border. My Scrapbook Edition would not place just the chess piece but would add a white box around it. Creative Scrapbooks would place just the chess piece. I would not recommend this software to anyone.

Summary: Returning it tomorrow
Review: I just got off the phone with a Hobby Lobby manager who thankfully will allow me to exchange this product, which I'm going to do first thing tommorow. Words cannot express how disappointed I am with this product. I did a lot of research to find a package I liked and several reviews gave this one good marks. The only thing I liked was the photo editing features which were pretty limited. (I guess you get what you pay for!)
I agree 100 percent with Software User from Tampa. It is difficult to maneuver around in, prints badly and tech support was pretty unhelpful. In addition, after I installed it one of the features (paint/clone) would not work at all, even after I unininstalled and reinstalled. I consider myself a competent, computer literate person, but this system had me pulling my hair out.

Summary: Too Useless For Words
Review: I should start by saying that I love using software to scrapbook. I've used Creative Photo Albums for years. However, it's not available or supported any longer, so I thought I'd better look for something new.This is the first program I have run into in a long time that is so unintuitive that I actually had to look at the instructions to figure out how to get to the scrapbooking. It starts up with (extremely limited) photo editing as the main desktop and I actually exitted the program and restarted it, thinking I had somehow installed the wrong program! So I finally get to the scrapbooking and all of the templates look really gawdy and awful but I'll load one and give it a try. Only they won't load -- it keeps telling me to insert my CD again. The same CD I loaded the software from, only one drive, no tricky mapping and the thing doesn't even try to access the drive before shooting out an error message. I paid very little for the Creative Photo Albums software and it was great. I paid a little more for this stuff and it is just useless!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I use to cut and paste pictures by hand for Creative Memories. Now i can do all my scrapbooking on my computer and print it out. It is a timesaver compared to Creative Memories work. Id love to lead classes on scrapbooking with this software!

Summary: VERY VERY BASIC
Review: I was given this software as a freebie and I find it very very basic. I'm after something to create digital scrapbook albums for all my digital camera shots and whilst it has some neat little features and can do some good things, it has problems completing the most basic tasks such as creating a triangle from scratch or a square with a pattern if you want to make your own design...it just cannot be done easily. I have created them in Publisher and pasted across but they go all stupid and it has a hard time recognising transparency. Also had same prob as previous reviewer about copying things into this program, I measured something in Publisher to be an inch but pasting it into this software it became miniture. Clipart is very limited and there is no way to import your own clipart unless you copy/paste from another program. Same with backgrounds, very limited ... no way of importing your own collection to use. I expected that their site would have heaps more templates and goodies to download and they have SOME stuff but it is nothing to write home about and the file sizes are huge for just a handful of add-ons. I don't mind using it but I find it very fiddly and dicky when it comes to completing the most basic task such as making something transparent or just creating an everyday shape like a triangle. I'd really like to be able to get my hands on some more templates but just can't seem to find any apart from the limited addition on their site. Michelle

Review: I've just started using this and it's not bad. I did have to read some instructions to find the parts I wanted to use (I hate to read instructions), but so far so good. It is the best scrapbook program out there for the serious scrapbooker.
