"Awesome product!"
I love this product. I have the Printmaster Gold on my desktop, but needed something for my laptop and lost the installation disk. I decided to upgrade to a newer version and picked the Printmaster 16 platinum. I just love, love, love it! I have made photo buttons, gift bag cards, posters, a brochure, birthday cards, Father's Day cards, and some Thank You notes since receiving the product. I loved my Printmaster Gold program, but this new version is that much better. My friends love the items I've been able to make and have begged me to make things for them as well. I've also been able to create advertising pages for a local printer and email the files over to go straight to print and the books have come out awesome. This is just an incredible product to have on my laptop. I use Windows Vista. I wasn't sure if it would work well, but it's great!

"Great program, but some minor problems and inconveniences"
In spite of the fine features of this product, these are things I would like to see corrected:

Among the awesome number of images are some reproductions of botanical prints and fine paintings such as seascapes and still-lifes. The images cannot be blown up enough for quarter-fold-card fronts without loosing sharpness.

The thumbnail sketch in the "My Projects" screen can have a different name than the image file, which might happen when you rename the thumbnail. And when you delete any thumbnail, you do not delete its file.

The "My Projects" screen seems a bit glitchy -- it set up two sections for quarter-fold cards and two for posters, interspersed them, and left long blank spaces when I tried to reorganize the screen. I would like to be able to edit this screen.

When saving projects, I cannot find a way to change the default path to put them in a folder of my preference.

Conclusion: great program, biggest problem, IMO, is the lack of sharpness of some of the best images.

"Keeps Getting Better"
This is great desktop publishing software. I've been a PrintMaster user since the late '90s and this is just one of those rare programs that actually gets better as the versions progress. The install was quick, easy and did not upset my computer or other programs. You won't be disapointed.
