5.0 out of 5 stars Looks like Broderbund got it right with PS-22, August 15, 2006

This review is from: The Print Shop 22 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I have had minor problems with previous versions of Print Shop, but the new 22 version installed without a hitch and runs like a champ.

I am not a professional graphic artist and do not work with desktop publishing or illustrations on a day-to-day basis. I think this is why I become so frustrated wrestling with Corel Draw and find a more intuitive and user-friendly program like PS-22 so useful, and indeed, fun to play around with.

My "thing" is scrimshaw. I am constantly on the lookout for little gimcracks like, perhaps an artistic compass rose, a sea monster, a mermaid, etc., to add that little finishing touch to my work. Finding a huge source of such stuff that can be easily edited, resized, and printed as an overlay that will exactly fit into my work is like finding gold.

There's a lot of very attractive bang for the buck in Print Shop 22.

1.0 out of 5 stars Now that I'm used to it...., November 3, 2006

By

This review is from: The Print Shop 22 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I gave this a pretty harsh review when I first got it. Now that I've had it for a while, I've come to really like it. I still don't use any of the graphics, and I'm not wild about having to put my own graphics into their folder, but it's still the best program out there that I've found. So realize that when you read the original review, you might feel the same way at first but love it later! Who knew!
~ Original review below:
I just purchased this after having an older version of Print Shop which I liked - I mostly wanted a 'ruler' and better graphics options. I am so upset. I got the ruler, alright. That's the only 'plus' in the whole mess. It takes forever to boot it up every time I use it (I downloaded all 4 discs, but I had plenty of space) and although there are lots more graphics, they're childish and stupid - and many of them can be found by a quick search in 'google imgaes.'
But what I really despise is that you can't place an 'out of the program' graphic onto your project page until you put it into your 'my graphics' folder - which is attached to THEIR graphics folder. Then you have to close the folder after each graphic you place. So you go back and forth, back and forth and it's as painful and confusing as trying to figure out what I'm trying to explain!
If I could say ONE thing about this program, it would be RUN LIKE A BUNNY!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Vista... But new patch works, September 17, 2007

This review is from: The Print Shop 22 Deluxe [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Let me add to what others have said.

This is my fourth version of Print shop.

A guy from Broderbund, called me on my cell to tell me about all the new bells and whistles, and it sounded like they finally fixed all my gripes, (little gripes, I used my version 21 all the time) making it projects email able, and an improved photo editor.

So when I bought a new laptop this year, it came with Vista, no option for XP, so I know that vista has some issues with older software, and I get the new version, Print shop Deluxe 22, figuring wrongly, that the current version would be made to accommodate Vista... WRONG

It will work, but your computer will complain and glitch constantly.
The Broderbund website advises running in "Compatibility Mode" but it won't come up for me for Print shop.

So I will load it into one of my older PC's at home and it will be fine I'm sure... It is just that I only use Print shop when doing projects for my wife, and that is what I got the Laptop for, so I could do these honey-do projects in my own room. Oh well.

5/12/08 I just looked at the Broderbund Website, to see when a new version that would be Vista compatable will be out. Nothing. But they now have a patch for Vista, whch I intend to try and see if it eliminates some of these issues.

5/27/08 I just put in the patch from Broderbund, and Printshop finally appears to be working mosty as it should! If you have PS22 installed, go to Broderbund.com and go to software update, and follow directions. Good luck!
