Unfortunately, the photo card template selections are not very interesting.Īfter you choose your template, a second window opens with your work area in Preview mode. While this may not be much of an issue for you, I found it annoying.Īfter moving photos around on my hard drive, I clicked on the Artwork button and Greeting Card Shop installed the SuperPack templates I downloaded. If you store your iPhoto or Aperture libraries in a different place, you need to move them back to the Picture folder to use them in Greeting Card Shop also. It seems this is not a Chronos limitation, but a built-in Apple restriction for third-party apps. This means I have to move any shots I want to use into my Home folder's Picture folder to use them within Greeting Card Shop. A trip to the 100-page PDF manual revealed that I can only use photos stored in the Pictures folder. I wanted to create a photo card, but found I could only search my Pictures folder for a shot to use, but I keep my photos on an external drive. You can save your creation in the Greeting Card Shop format (.gcs) or export it as PDF, TIFF, JPG, or PNG file. My other creations aren't worth showing you though. After abandoning a few attempts, I succeeded in using a Baby Announcement template to create a custom card to give to a friend. I tried to create a New Year's photo card first, which presented stumbling blocks. To change the template size you must choose your card, then use the Format menu to change the size. When you open Greeting Card Shop the Template Chooser appears.

Greeting Card Shop includes features that let you print address labels or envelopes using your Apple Contacts application. When you install the program it asks for access to your contacts, ostensibly to make it easier for you to address and send cards. If you find that the full application is squeezing too much space out of your hard drive, you can manually uninstall Greeting Card Shop's artwork. The art collection is available in 145 iScrapKits organized by artist. The artwork available for Greeting Card Shop can be shared with Chronos' other products, including iScrapbook, Business Card Shop, and PrintLife. There are over 600 greeting card and 93 invitation templates, 94 envelopes and 16 photo card templates available for your use. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
