1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money., April 1, 2007

By	Gin and Tonik - See all my reviews

I was very disappointed in this software. It's not really good for anything and I still haven't figure out why this was even released. I own Printmaster 15, American Greetings Creata Card 8, and an few other photo and scrapbook programs. This software has templates to make banners, cards, invitations, and all that stuff. The templates are few compared to other programs and then to customize them, well you really can't. If you try to start out with a blank template and add your own photos you are limited to what you can do. No borders, edging, font manipulating. It's just insert the photo, do some basic photo touch ups and that is pretty much it. I wanted to add shadows, edges, frames to my pictures and couldn't. The fonts could only be made in single color. You could not add outlines or drop shadows, NOTHING. Add the font, pick your size, pick your style, and that was it. You can only save to their 1 file format which of course only works with zoom. No e-mailing or file converting. What good is this program I have yet to find out. I spend time to make a birthday invitation from my own pictures. Well guess what, I couldn't e-mail it to my guests. Print is all it does. Complete waste of money. This is the first software I ever purchased that I will be returning. Spend a few extra bucks and get something like Print Master, Print Shop, or something comparible.

UPDATE: I returned this software and received a full refund.

2.0 out of 5 stars Simply Basic, April 22, 2007

By	fire1962 "Scott" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This is by far the most basic editing/creative package that I have ever used. I have been using every version of Print Shop since some of their early versions. I have Print Shop 22 and was haveing issues with printing in MS Vista. I figured that I would be able to purchase one of Broderbund's similar products (one made for Vista) and it would be similar in style and usage. Wrong. I was not able to import other Print Shop projects, printing is limited, no drag and drop feature from other programs, limited editing, formating of text is off when copying from one document to another, sizing pictures and text boxes while editing projects is limited to dragging corners only, and on-and-on. I tried to use Broderbund's tech support page, but it is very limited to their FAQ section. Try asking a question or emailing for help; good luck. I will fumble with this product for awhile (only because I can print more than one page at a time, because PS 22 in Vista only allows for this)and wait until the next compatible version of PS comes out for Windows Vista. I would have thought there would of at least been a patch by now. I think they may have made Zoom the way it is now to allow for newer, better versions. I hope this helps...

1.0 out of 5 stars WASTE OF MONEY, July 2, 2007

By	Angelica Rembrandt "Angie" (Hot-lanta) - See all my reviews

Terrible software. My printer will not print my projects from Zoom though it prints all other software just fine. You can't save your projects to jpg or other similar formats...only to a Zoom format-which means you can't send your creations to anyone or anywhere!

I needed this software to create ebay auction ads. Well, I can create the ad (with limited features and limited creativity) but I can't sent the files to ebay or anywhere else.

What good is software that I can't print from or send???

You can't use shading in this version. You can't use freehand cropping (only can crop with a square box shape).
And the clip art/click art isn't very good either.

Just a waste of my money...a total waste.
