Review by Sherry Berry

This is a good beginner software. It has a lot of interesting designs and fairly easy to use. The problem is that this is just a beginner’s software. There isn’t very much in there for any advanced photo editors and has very basic functions such as crop, resize, etc.

It comes in four separate discs. So be prepared to take a while to install these as you have to keep putting one in after another. A better way to do this should have been to put it all on one disc with one serial number instead of four different discs.

I started trying out the Create It! first since I usually will adjust pictures I have taken. I found this one to be extremely slow to open and I accidentally had set the default program to open JPEGs as Create It! This means, I can’t just scroll through my album of pictures and it took a long time for this come up. I’ve had many times that it took so long that it timed out on itself and it had to shut itself down.

I was excited about the Scrapbook disc since it says it also makes cards and I love to make cards. I found it to be really more for scrapbook pages more than anything. And I had a hard time getting a good looking enough card for my purposes. So I gave up on it and went back to my old Microsoft Word method of creating cards.

The other two discs were OK. I tried some pictures with it. It was fairly simple to use but doesn’t do too much besides changing a picture into a painting and that’s it. There wasn’t anything in there to really enhance it.

This was a good idea for sure but the way it was executed was done a little poorly. There should be just one disc instead of four discs and I just wish they made the programs to not bog down computer resources as much. Just so everyone knows, I have a Quad Core processor, 4GB ram, 64 bit windows 7 and it still really slowed down my computer and took forever to open.
