User Reviews about Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2

I love this program. It is the second Digital scrapbooking program I have owned and I like it so much better than the previous one (Scrapbook Factory Deluxe). SFD was an okay program but very limited in what I could do with it. I finally found what I wanted in DSA and DSA2.

Pros:
1. I got DSA1 for $10 and then upgraded to DSA2 when it came out for $30.
2. The program is written for scrapbooking so it is more intuitive than other graphics programs people use for scrapbooking.
3. Create your own digikits. This should probably be #1 on my list because this is probably one of my favorite parts. I have well over 100 digikits that I have found on the web for free not to mention the free ones you can get from DaisyTrail
4. The tools and accessories are fantastic some of my favorites are Cutout studio, scissors, the effects stencils, shadows.
5. DaisyTrail is the support site for this program and it is very helpful, from answering questions to tutorials to galleries for inspiration.
6. The more I use it the more I love it!
7. Drag and drop frames.
8. Great training tutorials on DaisyTrail and YouTube.
9. You can try out the compact version for free by downloading it from DaisyTrail. This isn't a trial but a free version that you can keep and use as long as you want.
10. My 7 year old daughter can use the program with little help from me. She loves creating her own artwork and scrapbook pages.

Cons:
1. I know others have complained about the lack of content. It is true that this program doesn't boast 1000 plus elements and backgrounds but that's not really why I bought the program and with the free kits on daisyTrail as well as ones I have found online that isn't a problem for me.
2. The program has frozen up on me on rare instances.

I really can't say enough good about this program. I recommend it to everyone I know. My mom, sisters, and aunt all have the program and seem to enjoy it as much as I do. A great Scrapbooking program. -- A great, inexpensive scrapbook program.

I really like this product. It is worth the cost for the upgrade.
I know that photoshop elements is the standard. I find this product much easier to obtain many of the desired affects. It allows for customization. They offer free kits. The kits available to purchase are well designed and lovely.
You are not locked into buying the kits; you can make your own and upload them. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. -- scrapbooking software

digital scrapbooking program I've ever used. I bought the first one and loved it so much that when the later upgrade came out, I just had to have it. This is the 2nd one I bought and it was for my 16 year old granddaughter who is very excited about using it. There are occasionally a few glitches, but Serif works diligently to fix them as they come up. I find that the program is comparable to Photo Elements and much easier for me to use. I would highly recommend it to anyone who does digital scrapping or photo editing. -- Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 from Serif is the best

I ordered DSA2 in spite of some poor reviews and I'm so glad I did. The program allows users to download a bunch of free kits from Daisy Trail so even though it doesn't come loaded with materials and kits, they are easily available. Of course you can buy more but you don't have to. There is also a voucher included that you can spend at DT. With some searching on the internet I've found tons of free kits, materials and embellishments. The program allows you to create your own kits (Digikits) and add to them at a later time. It doesn't cost you an extra dime. The only downfall is spending the time to make your kits. I won't go into all the features as these are listed in the product description. One thing I love about this program is the availability of video tutorials on [...]. DSA2 is loaded with lots of features and to get the most out of it you should spend some time learning how the they work. These tutorial are invaluable. You Tube also has many tutorials. The help button is also useful and is easier to understand than many other program's help features. Also, I found this program very easy to use right out of the box. Of course it took awhile to learn the many features and I'm still learning and exploring. That keeps it from being boring. I'm proud of the scrapbook pages and cards I've made so far. I'm a beginner to scrapbooking and with DSA2 I've created some impressive pages. Although this isn't a slam on DSA2, Serif tends to bombard you with emails trying to sell you their other products. I did get PagePlus X4 and also like it but they do get a little in-your-face on selling programs. For me DSA2 is still a 5 star product. I got more that I was hoping for. -- A great program that offers a lot of options
