 Be warned about "Million Image Club" January 29, 2008

The product is ok, although a little confusing to use if you haven't used Printmaster before. The thing I was most upset about is that you're supposed to get free one year access to the "Million Image Club". Well, I registered and followed instructiong that came w/ the program, but never did get a code to use this feature, and you get NO help at all from Broderbund. I've emailed 'till I'm blue in the face and no one will help no matter what you try.
 Printmaster 18 Somewhat Disappointing, Still Good January 29, 2008
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
I, too, have worked in Printmaster for years, upgrading every time a new one was available. I have enjoyed them all, especially PM 16, which fulfilled most if not all of my modest desktop publishing needs. My new computer runs on Vista, which necessitates the new PM 18, and I find it is skimpier than 16 and lacking some of the features I have counted on and used in previous versions.I can still build my page and get done most of what I need to do, but find the program subtly (or not so subtly) pared down in various areas which had produced a more fully-rounded 16. The clip art seems oddly lacking, even with the "Million Dollar Club", which I was unprepared for. Many graphics I have used regularly for years in various versions are no longer available. Furthermore, I ordered PM 18 directly from Broderbund and paid the going price plus postage. I didn't even get a box, just a cardboard mailer containing the PM disk and the one for scrapbooks (not of interest to me). Not a word, not an insert, not a picture, not nothing. I will not buy online from Broderbund again. The boxes illustrate aspects of the program which I might use if I knew what they were. I feel just a tad cheated and disappointed, and find that I crash just as often with this Vista-compatible version as I did with the PM 16. Also I have encountered stubborn printing problems with this version that I didn't have before; i.e., the program just prints on and on and on, long past the number of copies I have asked for. It would print forever if I kept feeding it paper. I have to cancel every printing manually or turn my computer off to stop it from disgorging the same print job unto eternity. I have the feeling that PM 18 was whipped together hastily to get in on Vista as it hit the market, and that newer and better versions will address some of the problems that present Vista users encounter with it.
PrintMaster Platinum 18 January 10, 2008
I have used PrintMaster for many years. There's nothing better. Learn some short-cuts. Ctrl-C (Copy), Ctrl-V (Paste), and Ctrl-Z (Undo) or the Homer Simpson button, as I like to call it, "Oooops!" Play with the menu options. Lots of features and huge selection of photos. A must have.
What a rip off January 8, 2008

More than half the images needed to be downloaded, a rip off.
I upgraded from 16 to 18 (DVD) because I thought I could install all the images on my computer and work offline... not so... you need to have internet access to download most of them.
I'm reverting back to 16 so I can put all the images back on my computer.
