I want to love it, I really do. But I just don't like it very much, and that disappoints me. I was one of their biggest fans.
Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

You don't like what they're offering or just the design of it?

I'll share, I don't like that to register for the free trial you have to give your credit card or paypal account. I'm leery of giving studio calico access to my credit info as they don't have a good reputation for that sort of thing. I also would rather buy by the class than a monthly subscription. Don't think I'll be joining in and I really liked BPC and had many classes from them.

I also don't like how many emails I've had from them recently so I unsubscribed from them all. I've always bought more of their four experts classes than anything else so I'm reasonably confident that I'm not going to miss anything by not being a member of their new site. |

That or maybe I have just gotten that good at scrapbooking LOL *wink*wink* |

What the others have said - the classes are pretty basic, & it sounds like membership doesn't include their premium content (my words) so I may as well just sign up for those, if they appeal to me. I just don't think what they are offering is worth $10/month (that's $13.30 AU.) |

Ugh! I knew this would happen... I forgot to cancel my free membership & got charged for a month's membership.
I do it every.single.time!

The last class I took, before the new site launched but after SC took over, I had much difficulty in getting into the class message boards. It was towards the end of the class before this got resolved and I had to contact my ISP with headers on the email from SC and I don't know what else. As for the class content I was supposed to get notified for when the videos became available, all I get is emails from BPC with gobbledygook or spam advertisements. I suppose to resolve this I will have to email back and forth with SC and my ISP...again. But I haven't. It's a hassle. I will probably let it go but I did want the videos to the two phone photography courses I took especially. I can't stand SC's methods and BPC Classes AND Ali Edwards (!!--big ugly cry here) have its me as a customer because of them. I view SC as "high maintenance" and not at all customer oriented.

"Lost" me as a customer

This sounds absolutely terrible and as such they have lost me as a customer as well. I loved the way it used to be where you paid for each class as you wanted it-this idea of having to give them your credit info and them charging you $10.00 per month is crazy. It's just not worth it to me and as a company I don't trust them at all. I'm so sad it had to change.

I was just coming here to ask you guys what you thought of the new set up for Big Picture. I really wish we could take classes here and there like we used to. So disappointing.

I'm another one who isn't sure about registering for the free trial....because unsubscribing with Studio Calico is a month-long process. I am curious to know if any of the classes are worthwhile and to see how much they add to it? I think I could get through what is currently offered pretty quickly but am not sure if it would be worth my time....anyone learn anything that they couldn't learn from Youtube?

I just got an email about a photoshop class that looks interesting, but if I have to subscribe, then remember to cancel I probably won't take it.

I'm another that refuses to register and give a credit card for something I may or may not ever use. I'm about ready to unsub from their email list too because of the excessive emails they have been sending to get me to sign up. Thanks, but no thanks...
