Design Features:  

Digital Scrapbook Artist is a great tool jam-packed with photo-realistic elements from backgrounds to fonts, frames to brushes and all kinds of scrap embellishments. A few of the unique features to this digital scrapbooking program include the customizable brushes and the scissor and punch tools. There are 24 different types of scissor edges to choose from as well as a punch tool that functions like a real paper punch. The brushes allow you to add stitches, ribbon and other stamp-like effects to your design. The text editor makes it easy to put text on a curved path. The software also has a pretty hefty photo editor that allows you to correct the color of images, fix red-eye, add special effects and enhance your images.

Output Options:  

Share your masterpieces in a multitude of ways from print to email to exporting and uploading to the Internet. An interesting social component of Digital Scrapbook Artist is the online community the software works with through DaisyTrail.com. On this site, you upload your favorite digital scrapbook pages and the community of users can view and comment on them. It’s also an ideal way to share your designs with friends and family.

Ease of Use:  

The learning curve is a bit longer than our top-ranked digital scrapbooking software suite, Polaroid My Memories Suite but still not too overwhelming for even the novice scrapper. The included tutorials are a great help and with a little practice you’ll be “digi-scrapping” in no time!

Help & Support:  

Digital Scrapbook Artist includes a built-in FAQs-style tutorial which allows you to select only the topics that you’re interested in. If, for some reason the tutorials and in-program helps don’t answer your questions the online community is available for help and suggestions. Serif also has telephone and email support (listed in the user’s manual) if all else fails.

Digital Scrapbook Artist is an excellent digital scrapbooking software package that makes it easy to create digital works of art. It has a wide variety of included high-quality elements and tools including a spell checker and respectable photo editor. It lacks the capability of creating craft-related projects like calendars or T-shirts. If you’re looking for a software package with the capacity to handle those types of projects, you may be interested in our top-ranked MemoryMixer or Polaroid My Memories Suite. Any scrapbook project is only as good as the photos you use, so stop by our Digital Camera Reviews to find the best camera for your needs and budget. A high-quality print is also critical to your project so make sure you read our Printer Reviews to help you choose the best one.
