1. Express yourself with one-of-a kind style! Packed with brilliant, artistic content and a host of exciting new features, Print Perfect Deluxe is sure to bring out your creative best. Creativity has never been so easy ..of fun!
   
   By using this software, there are so many ways to create
   - Greeting Cards, Photo Projects, Scrapbooks, iPod skins, Posters, Banners, Family Trees, Labels, Certificates, Resumes, Letterhead, Envelopes, Business Cards, Brochures, Flyers, Forms, and more!



2. The image categories are arranged in 1000's of images,
   and the program only shows 6 at a time, so finding the
   right one may take hours. (plus they have no names)
   
   Adding custom text is font size, bold, italics, etc. only!
   No real formating of text.
   
   The border images print off the page, even though they
   were well within the boundaries on the screen. (I have
   an Epson R200 printer, and xp home sp2)
   
   After installation, my windows xp theme was completely
   messed up. The app changed it to xp blue, and other things
   were also changed. Plus it added about 50 useless fonts.



3. About two stars is a generous rating for this software. Luckily for me, it was a $6.00 "Big Lot" find. But before loading it onto my computer, I thought I had purchased the greatest clipart/print program known to Man given all the hype written on the box. This program has major flaws, not to mention limitations. (It is not worth the manufacturer's retail price of $19.99.)
   
   I tried to create a simple four-fold brochure with a gradient background. What a mess! First of all, what appears on the screen is NOT what actually prints out. The gradient backgrounds do not match up with each other when folded together. There is a large gap of white space between the backgrounds on the folding side--impossible to crop. The text moves to new places during the printing process: one of my paragraphs magically switched from single to double spacing (and ran off the page)! The text on the second page moved so far to the right that some of the lettering was cut off. This problem was further fustrated by the fact that the "print preview" screen is worthless--the "preview" that shows up is so miniscule it is impossible to see what will actually be printed. So then it becomes a "hit and miss" game where you end up wasting your valuable color ink. (Not to mention that there is no way to change the line spacing to something in between single and double.)
   
   Needless, to say I am not happy with Print Perfect. Some of the clip art images are adorable, though. Perhaps only the very simplest designs could be created using only a white background? Otherwise, it's a good program for those who are not into "perfect".

1 comments about Amplitube 2 Plug In.

1. I downloaded the free trial version of this software,Amplitube 2 DUO, which gives you limited amount of options. You only get 2 amps, 2 cabs, 2 mics, 2 effects, but that was sufficient to blow me away. I'm using my custom built computer with XP 2.5 gigs ram and SATA hard drives, the sound is an onboard chip. Which would make you think that the sound would be compromised, but this product is so good it doesn't need an extremely good card. The guitar is passed through an ART Tube MP Studio, which is a tube pre-amp with an 12AX7 tube(for warmth). The ART is then passed through a Lexicon Omega into the computer via USB. I get no latency at all, well at least nothing that would be decernable to the untrained ear. I haven't run it through loudspeakers, but the headphones I am using are adequate (don't want to scare the neighbors). I am definitly going to upgrade to the full product.

5 comments about Art Explosion 750,000 For MAC.

1. Sure Art Explosion has nifty stock images that can help in a pinch with small graphic solutions, but what to do with 48 CDs that come shrink-wrapped on a spindle with no lid? In the past the CDs would come supplied with a carrying case. So don't expect one to come with this collection or to get a response from Nova even though they advertise a money back guarantee.



2. My daughter works as a computer graphic's artist as her profession. Because of this I found out she wanted the Art Explosion 750,000 For MAC as an adjunct for her job. So I ordered one as a birthday gift.
   
   Since we don't live near to one another I had it shipped as a birthday gift to her home.
   
   Only weeks later did I find out that part of the delivery came through damaged, and she was then dealing to have the problem rectified!
   
   I asked if she wanted me as purchaser to follow up, but she told me she would deal with it.
   
   I'm sure she will eventually get satisfaction either from Amazon or whomever is eventually responsible.



3. As a graphic designer, I'm always looking for tools like this. When I bought this for our shop, we were planning on using the icons for quick placement in our statement designs. We also looked forward to using the fonts and other clip art eps features for various quicky projects. Unfortunately, the interface is difficult to use, and loading the CDs is tedious.
   
   The stock photos are worthless. I have yet to use one of their 1970s photos for anything other than a good laugh.
   
   The font database has nothing usable.
   
   Overall, this was a waste of $100. Our shop has used it probably half a dozen times, and I don't imagine we'll use it much from here forward.



4. This is horribly misleading. Not only did 3 of the DVDs not load (just spun and spun), but the two that did gave me a glimpse of the "art" they claim to be so great and high quality. The clip art is amateurish, the background images are ... ugh, they're just gross. And the photography is a complete joke. It's all circa 1970s and 80s, the quality is very poor. They appear to be scanned in and have the quality of a shaky grandmother's album. And high quality? Ha! The images not only are lo-res (180 dpi), but they are also small in size (4x5")! This is a complete and utter joke. Don't bother.



5. The bulk of my projects as a freelance graphic designer is designing books for national publication. This collection is a treasure trove of images -- I can always find just the right graphic for my bookblock layouts. All 5 discs operate perfectly and I really love the 1800+ page image library catalog. It's very well indexed so I don't have to spend a lot of time browsing through the discs to find what I'm looking for. It has already paid for itself many times over, both in time and cost.

3 comments about Cosmi CDRS581 Print Perfect Christian Art.

1. I don't understand why people don't take the time to put out quality work. When I bought this software, I thought I'd be able to use it to make flyers for my church. I looked through it once and have no ideal where I put it since that initial viewing. I was really disappointed with this product.



2. I found this clip art disappointing. It contained many images that are specific to Catholic symbols only. The graphics were limited in scope and variety. The software had issues in preselecting and attempting to load all images the cursor crosses without the need of double-click to select the graphic item. This resulted in causing system issues. I will be looking for a better product.



3. Have been looking for a much needed Christian Clip Art type program that could be used for a lot of different projects. It is perfect. Price was right for my budget. Program will be used for a very long time for home and church. Great for Christmas cards,etc. also great for all ages of fun this I really like.....L.G.

1. Fast shipment, but the quality of product is poor. Images overlap each other without clearing up and becomes worse with continued use. Possible manufacturer's defect.
