Great for Creative Novices

11/30/2009

I love to do photo books. I enjoy the on-line programs (particularly Shutterfly). But, I wanted more creative control over the lay-outs, fonts, etc. In addition, I liked the thought of working off-line. I have created "pages" in Photoshop. But, Photoshop, does not offer many templates nor a place to "store" all of your pages within one area. Also, I wanted to have the option to print this as a photo-book when completed.

The My Memories suite is exactly what I was looking for. It offers a number of Templates and Themes to get started. After that, you have complete control to change background papers & fonts. You can change many elements within the templates. For example, you can add a text box or an extra picture box, enlarge or delete any of the photo boxes on the page, etc.

I am still new to this product. Therefore, I am still learning how to best use it. On the downside, I wish that it were a bit faster to respond. I have not yet ordered a photobook from the site. Therefore, I cannot comment on the quality of the output. But, so far, I am a satisfied customer. I would recommend this product.

Polaroid MY Memories Suite

10/7/2009

I talked to the people at Polaroid and they assured me that this software could easily produce slide shows. It seems that it was made to produce albums, and in spite reading over one hundred pages of the manual and being far from an amateur at this sort of thing, I have not been able to produce an acceptable slide show. I would rate this software and the manual as poorly thought out.

Save your memories without fuss or muss..

9/29/2009

If you are interested in saving memories for your family, but can't stand a mess or don't have time to learn a photography software, this is the perfect software for you.

I bought this software about nine months ago because I had used Smilebox, but wanted more diversity. This digi-scrapping software took all the guess work out of making my own layouts. I have been fully immersed in the world of digital scrapbooking since I bought My memories suite-- I add kits from all over the internet to use for my layouts and have made over 400 pages in just nine months!!!

The biggest drawback about this software is that people are not talking about it enough. I have recently found the facebook community, which has offered tons of ideas. There are also a few great video tutorials that have helped me learn how to use this software in more diverse ways. The website is offering a lot more lately, too.

Seriously--If you are interested in making scrapbooks on the computer, there is no better software than this. I have Photoshop Elements and this is so much easier!! I occasionally use Photoshop to edit my pictures (because I am super picky about how pictures look for my books), but do EVERYTHING else in My Memories Suite.

Totally worth the money--I have recommended this to all my friends and have given it to several family members.

Awesome product! Extremely flexible and easy to use!

9/29/2009

This product is by far the best digital scrapbooking program I have ever used! It is extremely flexible, whether you are starting out as a beginner or just looking for a program that you can use to GET THINGS DONE! It offers quite a large number of items that come along with the software purchase, and gives an extensive Design Gallery for additional items you may want to add later on. I have ready the other reviews and honestly don't know what their hang-ups were, because I have used it for MULTIPLE slide-shows and have had *fantastic* results! I used it at the end of school last year to create a wonderful slideshow for an end of the year gift for the two orchestra directors at my son's school. The albums (that I printed at home) were amazing and had wonderful pictures from the entire year. Both directors stopped in the middle of the banquet presentation to flip through the pages! Then to make it EVEN better, I was able to create a WONDERFUL slideshow presentation from the hours of work I had already done! This slideshow was awesome. This program offers you the ability to set your whole show to music, and I was able to add many pieces that the orchestra had played throughout the year to make it really special. I got RAVE reviews at the banquet! And, the cherry on top, was that I was able to burn the slideshow to a DVD for each of the students so they were able to take this whole presentation home with them! It made a very special gift that every member of the orchestra could be included in, for the very small price of the cost of a DVD for each one! It was amazing to be able to make such a wonderful gift for each student!

And, don't even get me started on how much I love the albums I have created for friends and family. I have been able to COMPLETE - started to printed more than 8 whole ALBUMS this year alone! That is unheard of in my traditional scrapbooking days! This program is on my laptop and goes everywhere I go! I have scrapped on the go, or when I am waiting for my kids at rehearsals. It has allowed me to create wonderful gifts for my Mother and do wedding albums for BOTH my sisters for their birthday's this year!

It is awesome! They also have a great page on Facebook where people can post their pages and share ideas and get questions answered!

I just can't say ENOUGH about how great this program is. It has a wonderful interface that is incredibly easy and intuitive and doesn't take long to get the hang of. I would recommend (highly) this product to any age or skill level. It has an ease of use for a beginner and enough meat and flexibility for someone more advanced.

It is AWESOME!!! 5 stars all the way!
