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

By	G. E. Williams "Nunah" (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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!

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

By	Charles W. Long (Mission, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Yes and no....., July 8, 2007

By	Wednesday "Wednesday" (Torrance, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I was shopping for an alternative when it occurred to me to review...I've used Printshop since ver. 10, and I know it pretty well. I use it a lot both for work and personal and usually from "scratch". A few things have improved but not enough to keep me committed to it. The art gallery directory is ridiculous, you can't search for a subject, the silly names are like "he likes ice" for a picture of a panda and it is full of old cards and really silly items (pretentiously called "premium images", maybe young kids like them) and many duplicates of images, sadly I've never figured out how to access images from earlier versions, which were superior. Some nice tools of the past like "transparency" seen to have disappeared ;-). It has a tendency to do odd things like "forget" the earlier version of a project or change font sizes when you cut and paste, or refuse to copy...I've run it on a few different computers and it does this on all of them. Today it changed my #10 envelope size every time I closed the project so I had to keep redoing it and couldn't find my address book so I couldn't use mail merge. It gets confused about using legal size paper, changing the layout when you reopen the project to fit letter. I've never been able to work the text in "table", the columns are difficult to size and print set up has a wrong page that has never been corrected. Do NOT call fee based customer support, they charge whether they know how to resolve the issue or not, after telling the tech what I had already tried he had me re-try, charging me all the time, I paid half after some argument and in retrospect should not have paid at all. There is really no technical support. It is easier to use than full programs but has surprising limitations and quirks. I use it all the time and can do a lot with it, but it can be unnecessarily frustrating.
