I was trying to compose single fold greeting cards in PSE 7 and when I add text to the back of the card it looks awful on the screen as well as when printed. It is very fuzzy and looks to be very low resolution.
Anyone have an idea of how to rectify this. Rather new to PSE 7.

For creating cards, I make the picture perfect in PE, then I copy it to a program I've had for years.....PrintMaster Platimum. I send out cards to all of my current and potential buyers for my stallion's stud service.

A little homey, but the customers love them.

I am going to give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

I also highly recommended Word - especially Word 2007 for doing what you described. Very nice image tools along with the text.

If you have MS Office, try MS Publisher. You can work up your image in PS and then import into Publisher. It has the capability of adding multiple resizeable and moveable text boxes and images. It has templates for greeting cards, as well as other types of documents, that you can modify.

I have used this program for years, and, in my opinion, it is better than Word.for the type of work you want to do,
