Wonderful. I use it ALL the time. Very easy learning curve and you can do tons with it. I have used PSE but it is ALOT harder. If I want to get something done I use the CM SBC+. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Maybe you CM consultants can help me then...I'm creating my own 8x11 pages and cover in photoshop. Shutterfly SAID I could upload my own as a jpeg image and put them into their book...but after 2 frustrating days, I can't make it work. I've downloaded CM's free storybook creator - but it looks very limited. I'm not going to be able to upload my own pages into that, am I? If I make the investment into the storybookPlus software - will I then be able to do that? And if so - can someone simply tell me if setting up an 8x11 size image in photoshop translates into an 8x11 page or cover in a CM photo book? (that's my whole issue with Shutterfly - it's cropping my pages to very distorted sizes)
thanks for any help or advice!

I love Creative Memories Digital Software. Easy to use and you can make your projects as advanced as you want. So versatile!

I will agree it is a great program that is good for both beginner and advanced users. There are lots of online tutorials online through CM. One of the best sites is www.pixels2pages.net. This has advanced techniques, freebies, and page templates. It's great. The free version is a great way to get a feel for the program, but it is limiting. If you want creative control, go for the plus version. If you have any questions, you can email me. I would be happy to share some completed pages with you and get you started.

Hi Kacy...Creative Memories StoryBook and Memory Manager is fantastic. And I'm not saying that because I'm a consultant. The ease of use and the product reliability is far none. Friend me on Facebook or visit my website at www.mycmsite.com/dianeroney1 and take a tour. If you have any other questions shoot me an email. Try downloading the FREE version on my website and give it try.

Hi. I use this software and loved it so much that I signed on as a consultant!! I took the free done in four webinars that CM offeres. I think they've changed the webinars since then, but pretty much the same thing. Our homework was to create an album. Boy did I ever!!! It is so much fun and all the options!!! SKY is the limit!! And, they've had so many changes since that that make it easier. Of course I'm biased, but I have used Shutterfly and others previously and think CM is way better!! You can change everything or nothing. With the other's, at least the last time I used them, you were stuck with what they had to offer and that was it. They were pretty blah.

Friend me on facebook and you'll be able to see a few of the albums I made with the software.

Good luck with your decision.
Chris
