So, what's the best app to make cards on Mac? Of course I know iPhoto is a good one, but always look for something in total control. Please share a great list or your favorite here. Thank a lot.
PS, noticed a nice review, <spammy link to the App Store removed.>
Any touch from this iGreetingCard? <another spammy link to the App Store, also removed>

What kind of cards? Greeting Cards, business cards, postcards?

If you want control, it's got to be Illustrator, Indesign. and Photoshop.

Agreed.

Customer review for iGreetingCard in the App Store seems to be horrible. In fact, even the Softpedia review sounds mediocre at best.

Every piece of software rinky has spammed so far has been either very badly received or outright fraudulent ( like the video converter last time).

You can't go wrong with any of the following:
1. Print Explosion Deluxe
2. The Print Shop 2
3. Hallmark Card Studio

I second The Print Shop 2. Have used it for years and it's pretty easy with lots of options to customize.

I still have it for my Apple IIc. I will use it once in a while to make "retro themed" cards to include with gifts (only to people who appreciate what it means, of course).
