Customer Reviews

Easy, versatile, and fun!
I wanted to get started with digital scrapbooking, but most websites I read focused on Photoshop Elements, and purchasing digital paper and elements individually. I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend that kind of time and money, so I decided to give Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 4.0 a try. I've been using this software for several months now, and I really like it! It comes with lots of ready-made templates, which really are completed layouts--just add pictures. The templates are fully editable, though, so you can still add, delete, resize, or move any element or picture. You can also start from scratch, and build your page using the wide variety of backrounds and elements that they provide. If you aren't satisfied with their offerings, you can use any papers or elements that you can find on various websites--the program recognizes most regular file types (such as .jpg, .gif, and .png). Though some of the provided graphics are typical clipart, and not really what most scrappers would use, they still offer quite a lot of backgrounds and embellishments that are wonderful. (And contrary to another reviewer, you CAN change the color--right click the item, choose "edit photo", then the "adjust color" tab.) The software also comes with a pretty good user's manual--that seems rare for software these days! Very useful for getting an idea of all the different things you can do with this software. You can also save completed pages as a .jpg or .pdf file for printing or to give to other people.
There are a few things I'd like to see improved. 1. I'd like a better tool for finding and importing the photos. 2. I'd like more templates in the landscape format. 3. I'd like a viewer that would show 2 pages side-by-side.
**Important Note** Read the system requirements carefully! The entire program gets loaded onto the hard drive, and takes over 3 Gbytes. It's also a resource-hog when running; if your computer is too old, you will NOT have fun trying to run it!
All in all, this program is easy to learn and use. It gives you as much or as little control over the layout as you want. And with all of the various graphics that are included, it's an incredible bargain!

Good but not perfect
I own just about every scrapbook software on the market. This is as photo realistic as you get without actually using real embellishments. It offers a wide variety of ready made templates as well as blank templates and projects. The negatives: The way the embellishments are organized is confusing and time consuming to choose. You cannot change the colors of the papers or accents; you have to use what is available. When you save your document, it will only save it to its own file, so you can't print it from another source...leaving you out of luck if you don't have a wide format printer. This software is good, but leaves much room for improvement.

Satisfied
I had a previous version of this software and really like the improvements they made to this version. However, some of the pictures are still very lame. I wish they had a free downloadable website for more pictures or allowed you to edit their pics. Other than that, I like the search they have now when you're looking for a particular pic - for example, you can just type in "dog" and it will show you all the dogs.

I also like that you can save as pdfs so you can share with others that don't have the software.

Overall, I like the product for what I'm using it for.
