  Pros

  Great concept, auto album feature was huge selling point.

  Cons

  Simply put, version 2.1 is completely unintuitive, and as a seasoned photoshop and lightroom user, this software (which requires photoshop to work) is a one way track to total frustration and misery. Every issue I encounter, when submitted to tech support is a "future planned upgrade". Auto album feature is great and you can make some changes to the layout easily, but changing what image goes into each location when you drop a template is a nightmare. Two computers failed to be able to output the design in any way via photoshop due to errors leaving me dead in the water with no way to get my labor intensive design out to proof or to album manufacturer. Program has locked up and closed many times in the times Ive used it, and you never know when it will freak out.

  Summary

  Very unrefined, infested with bugs, and sure to leave you frustrated. Overpriced monthly membership, Support is quick to answer but usually unable to solve the problems. Newer version is loaded with problems. Old one was at least useable. RUN!

• The worse customer service EVER

  Pros

  easy to work on when it works.

  Cons

  I had to delete this software from my computer since it stop working. when I tried to re-download it. It keep giving me an error message, it says to contact the software developer. I have been trying to contact them for 25 days already. they do not provide a phone number where you can call. it has to be through their website or email. I created already 4 tickets, sent several emails and still not been able to get it to work. I requested several times help and so far; 25 days later. NOTHING YET. the problem persist.

• The worst program I have ever worked with!

  shanew22July 12, 2012

  Pros

  Absolutely none

  Cons

  Impossible to work with, it simply does not function. Poorly designed interface. Their action icons have no resemblance to their function and the add a page key is right next to auto arrange all images key. Once that button is clicked there is no undo. There is actually no undo at all! Their customer service is atrocious, you could wait days for a response. Spreads do not export properly or sometimes at all. When they do export the images are not lined up properly and you will need to do correction in Photoshop. But then the program is not fully functional with Photoshop CS5 and it doesn't work at all with Photoshop CS6...

  Summary

  Here's my story: While at WPPI in Las Vegas I saw the You Select It 2 booth and I sat down with some other photographers to watch the demonstration and hear more about the product. After seeing the program in action and talking with the owners son I was sold! It seemed like the best product ever, it promised to make designing albums simpler and easier and above all quicker. Of course the promise of being able to speed up the process was the best part. So I bought the program at the show price which was a 50% discount. That was back in February and since then I have had nothing but problems from the program itself and their customer service. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! I am not the only one with these problems I know 3 other photographers that also purchased at the same time as me and they have all of the same issues. This program never should have been sold it is not even slightly ready for the general market, it wasn't even ready for beta testing. I feel like I have been scammed out of $300 and I feel sorry for anyone that has purchased this at full price. Please stay away from this company and save yourself the hassle and headache.
