5.0 out of 5 stars A great program that offers a lot of options, August 9, 2010
By 
T. Wilson "garden gal" (Arlington, Wa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 (CD-ROM)
I ordered DSA2 in spite of some poor reviews and I'm so glad I did. The program allows users to download a bunch of free kits from Daisy Trail so even though it doesn't come loaded with materials and kits, they are easily available. Of course you can buy more but you don't have to. There is also a voucher included that you can spend at DT. With some searching on the internet I've found tons of free kits, materials and embellishments. The program allows you to create your own kits (Digikits) and add to them at a later time. It doesn't cost you an extra dime. The only downfall is spending the time to make your kits. I won't go into all the features as these are listed in the product description. One thing I love about this program is the availability of video tutorials on [...]. DSA2 is loaded with lots of features and to get the most out of it you should spend some time learning how the they work. These tutorial are invaluable. You Tube also has many tutorials. The help button is also useful and is easier to understand than many other program's help features. Also, I found this program very easy to use right out of the box. Of course it took awhile to learn the many features and I'm still learning and exploring. That keeps it from being boring. I'm proud of the scrapbook pages and cards I've made so far. I'm a beginner to scrapbooking and with DSA2 I've created some impressive pages. Although this isn't a slam on DSA2, Serif tends to bombard you with emails trying to sell you their other products. I did get PagePlus X4 and also like it but they do get a little in-your-face on selling programs. For me DSA2 is still a 5 star product. I got more that I was hoping for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addicting!, September 18, 2010
By 
Fish girl "Fish girl" (Beaverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I LOVE this program. If you're computer savvy and haven't invested a ton of money into scrapbooking then this is worth buying and getting into. Their tutorials on Youtube are pretty good. I'm able to scan in the few things I already have into my existing Photoshop Elements and create digikits of my own. There are also a ton of free kits online, and the ones for purchase are about 5 bucks! For that I get the same stuff I would have spent 30+ bucks on in the store, and my supplies NEVER run out!!!In the end, you can save a TON of money with this program.
The cost of printing 12x12 books can go from 30 to 70 bucks so save for that, printing 8x8 is about half that. Otherwise, it isn't much to pay to print print 12x12 pages (about a buck a page, discounts for larger orders) and put them into your existing scrapbook or one you bought cheap on sale...
Please note, if you do not already have a photo editor like Elements or Corel, you will want one. The program has a decent one so you can get started, but having something you can REALLY edit, tweak and enhance photos with is a major plus. So look at those programs as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, May 16, 2010
By 
This review is from: Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 (CD-ROM)
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this software. I'm a graphic designer and very computer literate. I was hoping for a program with lots of backgrounds, odds and ends, layout designs, etc. to help take out the labor intensive approach of Photoshop. The software comes with so few free backgrounds and accouterments it's pitiful. It's a bait and switch deal. If you want a library of items you can really work with you have to purchase them from the software's company. I didn't buy this software in order to have to buy additional software. Now I'll just have to look for some software with a library full of useful scrapbooking items. I'm not sure if I'm just completely disappointed or truly angry. Probably angry.
