Pros : I love that I can import photos. The tutorial is easy to follow and very helpful since I am not a computer geek at all. Just wish I had more time to "play" with the program. It is loads of fun.
|
Cons : None.

Pros : I have the basic version of Glass Eye 2000 and it does a great job. I mostly copy patterns or other backgrounds and the program allows me to convert them into the cartoons needed to produce panels. I have been using Glass Eye for many years, and other than not having the features that I didn't purchase, I couldn't be more satisfied. It would be nice to have a workable auto-trace instead of having to do it by hand.
|
Cons : I had to purchase Glass Eye 2000 as there was no upgrade available for my ancient original version of the program.

Pros : Very pleased with this software. The tutorial is excellent and really gives you a jump start on using the program. I do a lot of trace and modify which is much easier than using paper and white out.
|
Cons : None

Pros : Very intuitive program. Has helped my design work a lot. Faster designs and allows resizing to fit the customers needs. Back ground pictures help to incorporate pictures into designs or show how a design piece will look in a room. It lets you know, if you ask, if there is a design problem, too small of pieces or pieces not colored, etc.
I enjoy using it. I have had good customer service from them. They have been responsive and helpful.
|
Cons : Some of the features require you to upgrade to higher version of the program, but all of the features are available to try with the basic program, you just can't save or print those features. So you can play with them before you buy
|
| Other Thoughts : You can buy a large assortment of designs from Dragonfly in their file format. You can make them as is or modify them to suit your tastes. |

Pros : Easy software to use. I'll never draw another pattern. I spent some time reading the help files and watching the online tutorial then I was up and running. What I like is I can draw a pattern for a customer and email them the pattern as a jpeg image for them to review and approve. I like the ability to print the pattern with the true lead face width or the width of the heart of the lead. I use a pattern with the lead width on my building board and it helps me keep things lined up. I looked long and hard for stained glass software on the internet and this is by far the best out there. I also had to contact customer support once and they were quick to respond with the answer i needed
|
Cons : No cons
|
| Other Thoughts : You can tell from using this software that a lot of thought went into the making of it. |
| Good Experience |

Pros : I purchased this product two years ago and upgraded it to get more features. There are many things that I like about this product. First I love the fact that I can resize any pattern to any size and have it automatically print out in a format that I can tape together. That is a real plus. I also, like the fact that if I scan in a picture from one of my pattern books, I can make the changes on the pattern easily. Also, using the sample glasses I can get a picture of what my project will look like prior to doing all that work.
|
Cons : There are a limited number of CD patterns offered on the dragonfly website. However, you can use any Paned Expressions Studio CD to download patterns.
|
| Other Thoughts : There are only two things that I would change about the product. One is if you are designing of pattern and then try to color it with glass samples, some times it doesn't color because the shapes are not closed. It takes a lot of time to find the knot that is not actually on both lines. But I am not sure what you can do about that outside of maybe coloring lines that are open. The second improvement would be a way to update the glass samples in the product. I am finding that the longer I have this product, the more glass colors and types I am missing, but I can normally work around this issue to get an idea how it will look and what glass I will need for a project. |

Pros : While this program works reasonably well, in the end you will regret buying it. The license issued with the program purchase works once! No re-installs. If you have a hard drive failure, which you will eventually, or other damage that results in the loss your license, you will pay full price for another. If you don't, you lose all your previous design files. Think about it before you buy!
