Greeting Card Factory

Does anyone use Greeting Card Factory. I have version 1.0 and upgraded to the latest version. Under Leopard I can't open the program. It immediately quits. Could it be that it just doesn't work with the new os?
Thank you.

That is a distinct possibility. I suggest contacting the software vendor and finding out if and when they will have a Leopard update available. There are many old programs that do not yet run under Leopard, such as the free version of Virex.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Greeting Cards

    I have tried and tried to print a greeting card locally (i.e. on my home printer) using Photoshop Elements 10.  I have searched the forums and found suggestions to save and reopen to print, but it doesn't work for me.  I can't believe Photoshop has had this problem for so long and never fixed it.  I bought PSE10 a month before 11 came out and when I try to contact support, they refuse, telling me support only applies to 11.  I have searched, phoned, chatted, and experimented for hours, only to tell me that for another $29 Adobe will discuss the issue with me.  Incredible.    When I click the menu to create a greeting card, it gives me size options for Shutterfly, nothing for local printing.  And if I click PRINT, it doesn't work - it prints the card out on four separate sheets of paper, no matter what settings I try to change. 
    I finally insisted on speaking with a Supervisor, named Fhekhar, who sounded more accomodating after a long wait on hold.  They sent me an email with link to solve the problem without charge.  It directed me to http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/create-greeting-card.html, which I had already found.  It doesn't help at all.  But it too suggests you can print locally - it just doesn't tell you how.  They also sent a link to A Photoshop Elements 9 video tutorial for printing greeting cards.  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-elements-9/creating-greeting-cards/ which I have also found before - and again not helpful.  It goes all the way up to the actual printing, but stops there and doesn't show you how! 
    Photoshop Elements 10 will allow you to print greeting cards on Shutterfly. I do not want to pay for printing on Shutterfly - that's why I have cardstock, an expensive photo program and a printer! 
    Has anyone solved this?????????????? 

    I have used Greeting Card Factory and it's an inexpensive excellent program, but there is no need to purchase it.
    I made my greeting cards from scratch.  I don't bother with the templates provided with PSE.
    For fold-over cards, I make two projects.
    Start with a document size  before folding.  i.e. -  8.5x5.5 card needs to start with a 8.5x11 document.
    Document one is the front and back of the card.  Note, the front graphic needs to be on the bottom of document one.  Anything for the back needs to be upside down and near the top of the document.
    Document two is the inside.  Again, the verse needs to be on the bottom half of the document.
    I save them as jpgs and print document one on the first side
    Reinsert the cardstock, print document two on the other side.
    When printing - the only thing that is tricky is making sure you re-insert the cardstock in the right direction.
    I have found it much easier to do things my own way rather than work within the confines of PSE's templates.

  • How do I create a greeting card using PSE 9?

    I just purchased and installed PSE 9 for the express purpose of creating personalized greeting cards.  All of the promotional material indicates that I should be able to do this with PSE 9.  However, when I try to create a card, I get a message saying that this feature is only available to "Plus" members!  Is all of the promotional material (online and offline) in error or is this a new requirement that is not yet documented?

  • HT204364 How do I make different greeting cards and send them to the same address in a bulk - not having to pay $3.99 shipping for each card

    In Iphoto, I would like to produce a bunch of greeting cards with different pics for different people and I would like all these cards to be sent to my home address in one shipment.
    The way I understand it, I can only prodce one card and order multiple copies of the same card.
    I am looking for a way not to spend $0.99 + $3.99 (shipping)....
    Can this be done?
    Or is there an app that allows that?
    Or how can I save each card and have them printed somewhere else?
    Thanks!

    Not really because the format is an odd size and when you save it as a pdf file there's a white border around the card. 
    There are 2 tutorials on how to print them yourself if you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers or Pages from iWork: iP06 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card and iP07 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes.  Apple has made it difficult to print them borderless unless the card color is the same as the card stock.

  • How can I set up the printer for a custom size A7 OR 10X7 FOLDED GREETING CARD SIZE?

    My new HP 7610 wide format printer does not have a "custom" paper size selection area. A 5x7 folded (open:10x7) greeting card is surely the most popular greeting card size but is NOT included in the printers size selection area- so - what to do?

    I understand that the paper size is supported but not while printing from Windows:

  • How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

    I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
    Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
    Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

    You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
    #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
    #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
    Here are some editors that support layers:
    Some Image Editors that support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

  • How do I print on a greeting card in landscape when I can't save custom paper size?

    I have a J6450 running on XP SP3 with the latest drivers and patches installed.  I have greeting card stock measuring 6.5 by 10.0 inches and a Microsoft Word document with a custom paper size matching the that stock prints in landscape mode.  The printer error is "Paper Mistmatch.  Paper size or type is incorrect."  I have followed the suggestions on the HP support page, changing the Print, Properties, Features options to show "Other greeting card", but can't define a custom paper size to match the stock.  The Save option is not available.  What do I need to do to make this work? 

    Here is a link to a HP document for adjusting several settings that may help with your issue.

  • How to print 4-fold greeting cards?

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.5 with the intent of using it to print one-off greeting cards -- NOT necessarily ordering them from Apple.
    Most greeting cards programs I've used in the past allow you to print a card on one-side of one sheet of paper, then fold it in 4, so that it fits nicely in a 4x6 envelope. Not so classy, but easy and fast.
    For the life of me, I haven't figured out how to get iPhoto to print greeting cards like this. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Other hints for making quick and easy cards with little printing fuss? Thanks in advance...

    I found some software that you can download called Easy Card that allows you to make your own cards or use there templates.
    http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ecc/
    I just downloaded it myself as I was looking for a way to do it in Iphoto and as you found out there is no way to do it within Iphoto to print so you can do the four fold thing you talk about.
    Anyways there software got good reviews and user reviews as well and I am still playing with it on the trial period right now!
    I designed a Birthday/ St Patricks day invitation ( my 11 month old has his 1st birthday coming up on St Patricks day) and the easy card software works great in how it works with Iphoto and my clip art that I have. It has an OSX layout so I found using their controls pretty easy in order to get pictures and text and such into my card.
    Check it out! It is a free download for trial and can be purchased for $30
    I am just about to do it myself once I am satisfied with my first design!
    I need to find more clip art though. Maybe they have more on there website once you purchase it!
    Anyone know a good site to get clip art??

  • How do you print on the back of a greeting card in Photo Creations

    I want to put pictures/text on the back of a greeting card created in Photo Creations, how do I do that?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi again, JaysMother.
    Are you making print-at-home or ship-to-home cards? For Print at Home, you could make a second card that has just the front image and blank inside surfaces (use the Plain White theme). Then feed the paper through again, upside-down. Experiment with plain paper first to make sure everything's lining up the way you want.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How do I print on the backside of a 5x7 folded greeting card?

    I am trying to create a folded greeting card to print at home.  However, in creating a card and using the template, I cannot figure out how to put an image and text to print on the back of the greeting card.  The template does not allow me to add anything on the back.

    I don't think it can be done with the supplied templates and when using the "Create Greeting Card" feature.
    You can do it yourself by starting with a new image sized to the unfolded card, adding another page, and then adding your design elements to it.  You'll save it as a PSE project file, but then you'll have both sides that can be printed.

  • Source for Good Pro-Quality Custom Greeting Cards

    hello all:
    i'm interested to know if anyone has found a source in the US for good, reliable, pro-quality greeting cards that can be made from digital photo files. i've been getting a lot of inquiries from clients about posing for family portraits to be used as holiday greeting cards. this is a service i've yet to offer as part of my growing portrait biz.
    importing selected picks into iPhoto and ordering through there seems like a reasonable workflow, however, the prices for iPhoto's cards are kinda high.
    thanks,

  • Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs..​.

    looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC  1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.
