Has any Cutie heard of the free digitizing software called 'MadPunch'???

I recently saw this discussed on another forum. It was said, that you have to stay online while using it and the company owns the designs you created with this software.
Personally I did not check it out and decided against it. Maybe because of the "mad".
CU

i have not heard about that yet

Sondray,
I saw your post on their forum...you would think they would respond...especially when someone is interested enough to contact them??? I'll try some of your designs...THANKS!!

I tried it a while back, it supposedly compares to Embird. I have complained many times about adding more videos, and written lessons, but no response. I have added lots of links to freebies too. I don't have Embird so can't say one way or another.

Not me but giving out flowers thou

I agree, GG, I bought my software from my dealer, and she gives free lessons in the software. More expensive, to be sure, but worth it in the long run, I think. Trevor Conquergood also has a wonderful CD about the basics of digitizing (not software specific), which I purchased for about $150.00, and that was a great investment as well. Best of luck to all who want to learn this fascinating work!! Hugs, Marji

Thanks for the comments. Perhaps the best thing is to find someone in your area who TEACHES you how to use digitizing software. Someone you can go to and say .. "I'm trying to do this, but I'm stuck " and will help you. I think that would be more expensive, but if you really want to learn, it would be worth it in the long run.

never heard of it.sorry

I checked it out, this is a cute little program. But from seeing the tutorials, I think you'd have to know about digitizing to use it, I don't think you could learn much from the tutorials except how to use the software. You have to put your underlays in manually, and therefore you'd have to know about underlay, and what kind to use, etc. I don't think this program is for a beginner, I think you'd get frustrated with it. Also, you have to use it on line all the time, apparently part of it is in your computer, but part needs access to the internet. As Debbie said, this looks like a start-up company, and the software looks like perhaps a "lighter" version of software they developed for professional punchers. I don't think there's enough info here for 'newbies'. If you want to download and have the time to play, you might learn something from it. If nothing else, you'll learn to appreciate designs done by professionals, hee hee hee. Good Luck, Marji

I do appreciate designs done by pros...wow...more to this than meets the eye. heheh

Getting the key number isn't a problem...they list tutorials (really vague)I wish they would go into more detail...I'll try again later!
I don't have digitizing skills as yet...maybe someone who knows what they're doing would understand the short tutorials?

i went to the site to check it out a lot of people are having problems with the "key number" which is expiring after down load and then you need to ask for a new key every time this happens....sounds like hard work to me...."for free" seems to be the opt word....to much fiddling around for my liking!!

I, too would like to know about it if you try it.

sorry Linda, can't help you about that...*4U

I checked out the link, then did a quick search. It looks like they are an up-start software company in the UK. If you decide to try it, let us know.
