[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
I just got it last night and haven't had much time to look at it. There seems to be 20 categories that cover about anything you could think of. I did a quick search using 'birthday' as a keyword since I have an online birthday card to make for the guy who teaches the php section of the web development class I teach (can't cover all the languages myself). It returned 2362 images from balloons to presents. BTW, it also includes a 3 month subscription to their online image collection as well. If you want to extend that to a year it is another $69 but that lets you see if you would use the larger collection before buying it. Cheryl D.

[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
They both link together, but I think I've used more images from II than I - I'd want to sign up for their online service too if I could ever justify the cost ... I contact Hemara every three months with a 'When's the next Photo Objects coming out?' email - perhaps if everyone else who's using it did too, they'd bring out an upgrade. Mind you, they haven't got a sitar in either collection, which is what client's asked for today it's when you have to go back to doing your own clipping paths that you REALLY appreciate the beauty of someone else having done the work for you Franni I think we are going to go with Hemera's Photo-Object 50,000 Volume I and/or Volume II.

[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
I'll ditto Dwayne once again. If you must only get one, it really makes no difference which one you do get, but should you be able to get both, it simply broadens your selections... These disk sets in combination with an online resource like clipart.com and the occasional visit to a stock photo-house's online component has gotten me through quite a few jobs.

[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
I find clip art works if you're prepared to use it as a starting point - import it into a graphics program recolo(u)r and/or tweak it to fit what you're doing. I've been collecting clipart since my first Mac, which was in the late 80s, so have a accumulated a lot of it over the years... tis always the way that you can never remember where you've filed the perfect item when you need it in a hurry... But I much prefer photo-objects nowadays - photos almost always look better... Franni I just went there. The family version looks good for my purposes. My boss keeps wanting to sprinkle clip art all over everything. I loathe and despise most clip art. I had ONE cd of clip art I really like, lots of nice woodcuts. Then I change o/s to Win 2000 and could no longer use that cd. Since then, CD-RWs have been invented. I'm thinking of selecting the clips I like and just burning them on to a CD but sorting would be a real problem.

[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
I totally agree. Most clip art looks really cheesy to me. Every so often I'll see something using clip art that actually looks nice and I'm always amazed. S.

[wdvltalk] Re: Image Collections
Cheryl, I just bought the Hemera's Photo Clip Art 100,000 images at Microcenter for $35.99 (Mac version $57.99 so guess which one I bought). I looked at the 2 Hemera versions you mentioned and decided to go with the less expensive but larger collection. I don't know how its images fit vs. the other 2 for your needs but for mine it was the better option. Cheryl D.

[wdvltalk] RE: Image Collections
Cheryl, Photo-Objects Volume III are both great! I have both and use them on a regular basis. You can export the graphics at specified resolutions in various image formats including .tif with alpha layers that can be made into selections to drop the backgrounds. 4-5 clicks and you have an exported clean image ready to be dropped into your next project. Personally, I wouldn't pay $79 for it though, they have both been out a couple of years now and I believe I only paid around $50 apiece at CompUSA...
