Scrapbookers, I need to decide between Digital Image Pro, Nova Scrapbook Factory or other. Recommendations?

Question

I do digital scrapbooking and work now with Picture It 10 from MS. trying to decide between upgrading to Digital Image Pro, Scrapbook Factory 3.0 or something else. Recommendations?

Answer 1

By all means, go with Digital Image Pro, if you must choose between those programs you listed. Digital Image Pro is far more powerful than the others. It can handle most of the file formats you would need should you ever decided to download a digital scrapbook kit for use in paper layouts. And if you ever decide to become a digital scrapper, the program has the tools and functions necessary to do that.

Personally, I got started using Corel Paint Shop Pro. It, too, is a powerful program, but may have a steeper learning curve than Digital Image Pro. For most people, however, I recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements as a good program to start with. You can't go wrong with it. Adobe and Corel both offer free trial versions of their programs. I would at least download the trial version of each to test them out.

For more information about digital scrapbooking, check out Scrapbook-Bytes. The site has tutorials on using Photoshop Elements, Digital Image Pro and Paint Shop Pro. Check out the gallery to see what can be done with any of those three programs.

If you do decide to try digital scrapbooking, there are hundreds of Web sites that sell digital scrapbooking graphics that would put the Scrapbook Factory graphics to shame. And at most of these sites, you can pick up a freebie or two. If you ever think you want to make a digital page, then you'll want a good photo-editing program.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

(Note: for the "short" answer, scroll to bottom of answer)

I have this really cool book on digital scrapbooking, that was only $10 at Barnes and Noble. It is called "Digital Scrapbooking, in easy steps". The book website is at: http://www.ineasysteps.com .
If you go in to B & N, ask where their In Easy Steps books are.

The reason I mention this book is that it teaches you step by step how to make your own papers, decors, and more. I am a graphics designer (I got the book for my daughter in law ...she hasn't gotten it yet!!, lol), but even I learned some things.

The book uses Photoshop Elements 4 through the examples, because of its capabilities and ease of use.

HOWEVER, it suggests Scrapbook Factory as the best dedicated program.

I would recommend buying this book and going through it before deciding what program to buy ... and I would choose between Scrapbook Factory, Photoshop Elements 4 .... or the new kid on the block ... PhotoImpact 11 .... look at the website for that one ... it looks very very promising for digital scrapbookers!!
