i am publishing a website to offer my greeting cards for sale. i'm confused on uploading them to my site. i want to only upload a pic of the 1st page of the greeting card to display, but i can't figure out a way to do this. also, i have read on here the best way to e-card is thru high quality JPEG when i offer this feature. i was always told to do PDF, but now find out the fonts do not show up well. is this true? also having a problem w/saving a card design; it will occasionally come up as "unable to render printmaster 12 project" when non of it was from my old PM 12 program. why does it do this. the only solution i have found to correct this is to redo the whole project! is there anyway to avoid having to do this when this happens or should i just delete the old PM 12 program on my computer; will this stop this from ever happening again. any advice on uploading files or sending e-cards from a website would be appreciated as well! i know this is alot! but thanx for any help you can give! ron kyker,

Hi Ron,

If you are saying that you intend to sell greeting cards which were created by Print Shop 3.0, if you attempt to do so, you will violate the End User License Agreement, which says this:

**********

You are NOT permitted to:

* Use any images included in this product containing trademarks or logos of any third party in any print or electronic media of an editorial, commercial, promotional or corporate nature;

* Resell, sublicense or distribute collections of the Properties including, for example, clip art collections, photo collections, or stock collections;

* Sell any item on which any Property is copied or otherwise printed.

**********

The reason why the End User License Agreement prohibits the sale of items which are created by the software is that when you purchase software you do not purchase the actual software. Instead, what you purchase is a license to use the software. And, since most of the selectable items in the software are copyrighted, it is not legal to use those copyrighted items for any commercial use.

As stated, you may not sell anything made with the images that come with your Broderbund programs. However, you may use royalty-free images, your own photos, and images that you have purchased the commercial licenses, to create greeting cards for sale.

Use Win 7's snipping tool to create a JPG for your webpage.

i was always told to do PDF, but now find out the fonts do not show up well. is this true?

No. Fonts show up exceptionally well when they are embedded into the PDF. You need a PDF writer that can embed fonts.

quote:

i have read on here the best way to e-card is thru high quality JPEG when i offer this feature.

An e-card is an online greeting card that is intended for web viewing, not printing. Do you mean you want to email a file to a store to get professional printing? If so, only high resolution files will permit high quality printing. Low res JPGs and low res PDFs deliver low quality prints.

If you mean you will offer e-cards for sale, then you will want to design a low resolution JPG (smaller than screen size), NOT high resolution.

also having a problem w/saving a card design; it will occasionally come up as "unable to render printmaster 12 project" when non of it was from my old PM 12 program. why does it do this.

It is really very strange to get such a message because Print Shop 3.0 and PrintMaster 12 are entirely different programs with zero cross-compatibility. Perhaps you are using some other version of Print Shop? Some older versions of Print Shop are compatible with PrintMaster 12 so it is possible the two could interfere with each other if they were installed in the same folder.

Are you publishing a website from scratch i.e. creating the HTML? If so, you use a FTP program or your web host's FTP to upload files.

Or are you using an online template where you upload images into placeholders and text into boxes, such as a blog site? If so, you click the upload buttons on the dashboard.

Sending e-cards from a website is easy if you are the customer. You just go to a site such as http://www.bluemountain.com/. Creating your own such site is very complicated because it's not just HTML, but also javascript.
