This program installed without a hitch on my XP SP3 old timer.
The difference between this Pro version and the regular one is the quantity of templates (136 for the Pro versus 80 for the regular)
Ashraf’s negative point on the front page is to be taken with a grain of salt as this is a collage (or scrapbooking) program not a fine arts painting program.
It is mostly aimed at doing some Christmas (or other occasions) cards or mementos as Printshop used to be in the 90’s.
And if you want to, you start with a blank canvas that you can customize at the size you want (It’s in the size option as Customize).
You can even save your creation as a template (this option is in the collage menu).
As is, with 136 templates, it is quite adept at what it is supposed to be doing and the price (for this Pro version) is adequate.
As I remember, Printshop used to cost much more than that in the 90’s.
The free alternative (Photovisi) that is proposed is at best a very timid attempt at collage/scrapbooking, is only available online (that is NOT an option for me) and offers just a 1024 X 768 resolution for free (compared to the customizable function of today’s Giveaway), if you want bigger, you have to pay for it.
Those saying that Word can also do that should be aware that
1) GOTD visitors and forum members don’t necessarily have Word!
2) Why take a 800 Pounds Gorilla when a slim Ferret will do?
To conclude, if you miss this giveaway, I have put a small list of free alternatives here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/723?replies=28#post-68628 so that everyone has a chance to see (even after today)
Thanks GOTD for this pro version
