When I bought my new machine (see purple haze thread) I also decided to buy Embrilliance Digitizing software since I use a Mac. The 5D Suite was $2K and the Mac version was about the same. At $149, Embrilliance was an absolute steal so I thought it would be good to start a thread for it.
Firstly, let me say that I find it easy to use, the manual made the tasks simple to understand despite the fact that it seems to be written from the software perspective and not that of the end userI have created my own designs using 1 of the 12 included fonts and a series of designs (called objects) from Embroidery Library. From there it is easy to save them to a USB stick and then stitch out (both my little Brother 770PE and my Pfaff can do this). The only shortfall is I cannot tell it to create the design file as cutwork or couching instead of stitching but neither of these is my main focus.
I have saved all my designs to my desktop in a folder and can view them any time using Embrilliance. It gets a bit stiff here because (this may be user error) I can only see them one at a time, not view all embroidery files as pictures. Also, I have not figured out, despite much bonding time with the manual, how to create a library. Again this is certainly user error but it does show how the software is a little stiff, which is to say a little less intuitive and smooth flowing than I would like. All in all a great deal for the price! I would love to hear what others think and maybe see some designs that you have made! Mac

Look at the video for Embrilliance Thumbnailer to see if this will help you view your designs and move them from folder to folder, create and/or rename the folders.

Although I didn't pay anywhere near $2000 for the new TruEmbroidery software, I did pay over $1000, so this is a STEAL! If I had more time I'd buy it at that price just to do a comparison. However, I already have two digitizing packages (TruEmbroidery and Bernina V6) to learn right now so I won't.
I'll have fun following along to see what everybody does with this software and I'll try not to beat myself up for giving in to the TruEmbroidery given the price difference.

Sewing machines make me happy. I like sewing with them, cleaning them, petting them, gazing longingly at them.

I also found it awkward to learn the file management for Embrilliance. I beta tested it and pointed out the need for Manual improvements that would assist a novice user. Nothing was changed. I do like many aspects, especially the stitchout preview but I complement it with Stitch Buddy, another Mac OS program.
I learned embroidery with Stitch Buddy so it holds a special place in my heart. The icon preview is embedded- no effort on my part so I can see all previews of all readable files even on my external back up drive without any effort. Launch Finder and all the embroidery images are displayed. Or launch Stitch Buddy and it goes straight to where your embroidery files are and displays them as images.
I nearly always start with SB to merge and edit nearly 90%. But I move to Embrilliance for monograms and lettering and to edit or preview complex designs or appliqués.

I think Embrilliance is worthwhile for what it does, but it is not digitizing or cataloging software. It is simply for editing. If you have Thumbnailer, you should be able to see all of your embroidery files as pictures.

You are correct about it not being a digitizing software, but I find Embrilliance to be a wonderful and easy editing
