Brand: Broderbund EAN: 0047956850211 Format: CD-ROM Label: Broderbund Manufacturer: Broderbund Model: 385021 Platform: Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 95 Publisher: Broderbund Release Date: August 27, 2002 Studio: Broderbund Editorial Review: Product Description: Updated with exciting new file sharing options, easier-than-ever email tools, built-in movie editing software and a handy Media Manager, Print Shop Deluxe 15 elevates print creativity to whole new level. Amazon.com Review: The Print Shop Deluxe 15 retains the legendary ease of use made famous by the previous 14 versions of the software, while adding a handful of useful applets and functions. As with all Print Shop products, you can make a ton of stationery items including signs, banners, letterhead, cards, calendars, fliers, and so on. The interface is absolutely terrific and geared toward both rank amateurs and experts: you can create any one of these items with a wizard to guide you through the entire process, or start with a blank slate and build the item yourself. Throughout the process, you can use your own photos and art or pick from thousands upon thousands of ready-made bits of clip art, borders, photos, designs, and more. Among this product's new features are the ability to save projects as PDF files for professional printing, a simple interface for sharing items through the Internet, new brush effects to enhance your imported photos, and a video editing applet that lets you edit your own videos into video files. The only thing missing from The Print Shop Deluxe 15 is a printed manual. All of the documentation is online, and it includes a manual accessible from outside the program and rich help files accessible inside. Still, it would be nice to have a manual to reference while attempting a project you haven't done before. Plus, there's one new feature that backfires. Media Manager tries to be an organizer for all of your images, video clips, music files, and so on, but its interface is clunky; it's easier to use Windows Explorer. Regardless of those tiny tribulations, The Print Shop Deluxe 15 is a terrific program all around. It continues to flaunt the many strengths of the series and adds some useful features without bloating the package. --Joel Durham Jr. Amazon.com Product Description: Broderbund's well-known The Print Shop is more powerful and versatile than ever.

 Rating:  - Good SoftwareI'm very thankful for this product because it works with my HP PSC 2175 printer whereas a recent version of Print Master Gold and I believe it was Print Workshop that I tried which did not. The features are great and making cards, banners, and calendars that I have tried is easy. It might be nice if the graphics choosing window could display clipart a bit larger at times so one wouldn't have to waste time previewing individual clipart images he may or may not want, and it might be nice if the program ...

Believe I get plenty of 'bang' for a small buck. Made weird discovery just tonight -- I cannot locate the "borders" function. The icon on the left toolbar should read frames and borders. I only have 'frames'. Have email support to see what's up. Have a feeling that it is due to Win XP and one or both of the service packs I've installed. If anyone has had this problem and solved it would enjoy ... Read More Rating:  - Why can't I see what I am working on?????I have used Print Shop Deluxe products for years with no problems. I had an older version on my computer but purchased this when I got my new computer with XP and no longer had the installation disk for the other version. I have to click on the print preview button to see what I am working on otherwise all I see is a blank piece of paper in front of me. I have tried the "so called" web troubleshooter but no one else seems to have the same complaint. Maybe these newer programs just run that way. I also ... Read More Rating: - After 15 versions, you'd think they'd get it right!Good old Print Shop! I have a love/hate relationship with it. On the one hand, it is the greatest thing going for arranging "objects" like text boxes, photographs and other graphics on a page for producing greeting cards, signs and the like. Fifteen is the third version I have purchased, and it features a custom paper wizard, with which you are supposed to be able to create a template for unique paper sizes. First of all, there are only a few formats available upon which the wizard can work its magic. ... Read More Rating:  - RUN WHILE YOU STILL CANI bought this product to help with my scrapbooking projects. I used it for only the most simple layouts and had nothing but trouble. IT IS EXTREMELY SLOW AND CUMBERSOME. I wouldn't give this product to my ex-mother-inlaw. The clip art is cheezy and trite. Forget trying to import a graphic. Forget trying to shut down the product...you'll go mad waiting! IF you value your sanity...DO NOT BUY this product |
