Anyone use the Photo Project Creator?

[Hooterville]

I tried it in the past and it was one messed piece of poo.

Has it been updated and does it work any better yet?

Anyone use this?

I'm afraid to install this.

Thanks.

I guess nobody uses this program?

I've never had a use for its functions. And most of them are done better in other places anyway so even if I did I'd go somewhere else personally. But that's me so I've never used it since it came out. Now I do believe something was updated. At least complaints of the exported Silverlight version of the photobook dropped after an update. Other than that....no clue.

Tactful way of describing it.. I only have it on my PC because I have the download version, where you don't get the option to uninstall it separate from the program. I've looked at it only to try and help people here. However I think on my system it works quite well at what it does (on my system),....take up space..

I have played with it a little bit, but I have not put it to any serious use. At the present time, other tools serve these needs for me.

I like some aspects. Once you get the hang of how it works, it is fairly user-friendly (aside from locating images to begin with). There are generally several choices for each project, though flexibility is somewhat limited within those choices.

My experience so far, and that experience is limited, is that this application is temperamental. I ran into video driver dependencies (there is a separate thread on that), and the application seems to be a resource hog. I have not experienced the stability problems that some users have.

Given time, this application may improve, I may improve, and/or it may grow on me. Time will tell. At least for now, I'll keep it installed, but I'll continue to use other tools for its functions.

Don't use it at all. Looked at it when X3 first came out..... didn't work then so I bagged it. Can't think of how it would really be useful to my workflow.

I don't care much for it. As others have said there are other applications out there that do the same thing(s) and do them better. I would much rather see Corel put their resources into fixing bugs in PSP and thoroughly testing patches before releasing them.

I tried it when it first came out for the slideshow feature. The calendar and the rest of the printed things were all available through the service I normally use to print with (meaning I'm not going to switch from my normal printing service to use Corel's unknown service, not that it's the same service), so no big deal there, and the upload to Flickr, facebook, and YouTube were about redundant since those services make uploading too easy to begin with. The slideshow maker was limited compared to Microsoft MovieMaker and it didn't even work as it was supposed to at that.

Definitely not worth the trouble. I hope Corel doesn't waste any time on this turd and fixes the bugs in X3 before ever thinking about releasing X4.
