"Very nice upgrade"
I went from Printmaster Platinum 10 to Platinum 16. I'm having a ball with all the new clip art, and only 3 disks instead of 8 is very convenient. The only thing I don't like is the difficulty I'm having changing the color of itmes. Otherwise, everything is basically the same. Very easy to use; I highly recommend this program.

"I've used Printmaster for years !"
I upgrade every few new releases. This is THE BEST print software available, (and I have received or purchased many other brands). I use print software ALOT and NOTHING compares to Printmaster. Don't be scared off by all the negative talkers. It's obvious they don't have enough computer skills to utilize the software properly. It does take some time to know all the in's and out's of the product and to learn to use it to your needs and lifestyle. But once you've become comfortable with the operation of it, Printmaster can honestly assist you with everyday life. Ie: homework, invites, presentations, any personal needs. Don't let the less than savy scare you off, the product has a tutorial.

"Not enough new content"
I am a long time user of the Printmaster products. I have not seen enough new / original projects and art to justify the cost of this upgrade. I was disappointed.

"Not so "Sweet 16""
I have been buying versions of PrintMaster for over 8 years and I was VERY disappointed in this version. I saw absolutely NO difference in PM "Platinum" 16 and regular old "Gold 15". In fact, I wrote the company and asked for my money back because PrintMaster 21 has just come out -- in fact, it was virtually within DAYS that version 21 was announced from when I received version 16.

If this is your first PrintMaster, it's OK. If you think this is an upgrade -- forget about it!

"Don't buy to send Email cards and don't buy if you aren't familiar with Publisher!"
This program is very cumbersome to use. It is NOT intuitive. If you have Windows XP you will not be able to send Email cards because they are .exe files and Outlook Express does not send or receive .exe files. There is NO technical support other than FAQ pages. Riverdeep software basically sends you a preprinted email that states that if you can't find your answer in the FAQ section there is nothing they can do. Do not buy any Broderbund product from now on unless you want to be aggravated.
