Clip Art Product Suggestions

I have Photoshop CS and ImageReady. I am looking to purchase someplace Clip Art software packages. Does anybody have suggestions on clipart distributers (that I can purchase in on CDs and DVDs?) I know that there are some very good clipart collections out there, as I browsed through some wonderful clipart when visiting a commercial printer, years ago. He was a Macintosh user, by the way.
Don

Thank you. Thats what I am talking about. Except the collection I had seen at the printer's place, years ago, had a variety of subjects in each catalogue he had there. At $200 dollars per subject listed here, I think I'd better look up this printer, and find out what the names of the collections they had there. I hope I can get one of those collections for the two hundred or less.
From what I figure, clip art has been around for a century or more, used by newspapers and magazines for articles and advertisements. Some of the clip art that I had seen in those collections looked like they could have been created by artists back in the 1920s or earlier.

Clip Art Suggestions?

Does anyone know of any good clip art collections other than Art Explosion? I have an older Art Explosion and I'm not too happy with it - bland images and too many duplicates.
I would like to find a clip art package that has decent, Macintosh-friendly file names to help with searching. With CoverFlow in Leopard, I don't need any previews, thumnails, or catalog programs. Having image metadata searchable via spotlight would be ideal, but I would be happy with file names better than TECHNOLOGY11.JPG, TECHNOLOGY12.JPG, etc.
I don't really want to use the online services because I like to have things local. I don't mind paying for it. I would buy Art Explosion 750000 if I were happy with my old Art Explosion 500000 (or whatever I have).
Thanks

I would like to freely add clip art in Full Edit Mode in PSE 5.0

Hello,
I am new to Photoshop Elements. I have PSE 5.0 on a windows XP platform with service pack 3 installed. I want to be able to create flyers with PSE and would like to freely be able to add various types of clip art into my canvas. I know you can do this when you're creating slides, but I want to be able to do this in PSE full edit mode, not by creating a slide show via the organizer.
There are tons of clip art online and they have various file types too. I am also wondering if I can use any of the file types as well. The ones that PSE has for the slide shows are .png. But online I have seen .wmf, .mpf, .jpg as well. How can I incorporate all this clip art for use in creating flyers and/or logos by just starting with a blank 8.5 x 11 canvas in full edit mode?
Any expert help here would be greatly appreciated. I was able to do this using Word, but Word of course lacks the graphic quality and optionality of PSE greatly.
Sincerely,
Lee

Thanks for your reply here Bob. I have read what you mentioned above and am not quite sure how to do it that way. What I have been doing so far is to find a clip art item somewhere, copy it to the clipboard, then bring it into PSE with the File-New-from clipboard command.
This will bring it into it's own space and Layer as a separate file on it's own. Then I select it, copy the selection to the clipboard once again, move over to my blank canvas which only has one background layer now, and paste it onto this canvas.
This seems to be working, but I loose the Vector graphic aspect of the clip art image because it converts it to a raster type of image now. So I have to be very careful in resizing it to not loose resolution and such.
I noticed when I go to create a slide show in PSE, I have access to the graphics palette where you can double click a piece of clip art and it goes right onto your slide and stays as a vector image. I can get to these images while in full-edit mode, but I have to use the file-open command and navigate to the right folder and then open one up into full-edit mode as it's own layer. But then once again, I loose the vector aspect and I have to go through the process of selecting it, copying it to the clipboard and then pasting onto my blank canvas.
I know that MS Word is no match for this product, but at least there I could easily add clip art to any flyer I am making without loosing the vector aspect. But I know that the quality is so much better here in PSE and that I just need to learn how to utilize more of its functionality and power. Hence why I am writing this post I suppose.
Isn't there an easier way to get clip art into your blank canvas in full edit mode without having to go through all this and/or without having to create a slide show to get access to this clip art pallete? And having to loose the vector aspect of the clip art is not so wonderful either. Did I buy the wrong Adobe application - Ha!
Should I be using Illustrator since I want to create flyers using clip art, type and effects?
My apologies for this long post, but I would really like to be able to utilize, if at all possible, PSE 5.0's full power to create great quality flyers using all these things.
Thanks again,
Lee

Change color on clip art

With MS products you can change the color of a clip art item. Can you do it in Pages??? Or anything MAC?

You can't in Pages, but there are a lot of Mac graphics programs - Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, GraphicConverter, just for starters.
FYI: Apple Macintosh computers are referred to as Mac (capital M, small a, small c), not MAC (which is an acronym for the Media Access Control address of a networking device).

Clip Art with Elements 11 ???

I have never used Photoshop products before. I bought Elements 11. My main purpose for buying it is to use my drawings to create color and black and white clip art to sell on my education web site. Can anyone offer assistance? I do have a scanner, to scan my drawings with. THANK YOU!
Stacia

If possible, scan your work as a tiff file. Also make a PSD copy as these can be opened, placed or dragged into other Adobe applications such as Illustrator or In design.
Open your image in Expert Mode and use the menu:
File >> Save As
Then choose PSD from the drop down file format menu.

Reducing AI size for clip art (wmf or emf) CS3 on Windows

Hello All -
I was actually in an Adobe workshop last week with an Adobe goddess and she was not able to answer this question - so unfortunately, I do not have much hope. But the last question I asked on this forum was answered so quickly and accurately I thought I would give it a shot!
I am creating clip art for a client who has decided they can only use .wmf or .emf files for their application. My illustrations, when exported to .wmf, are around 3MB. Obviously, for clip art this is much to large, since these files are typically around 7-15 KB.
I have tried numerous ways to reduce my file size drastically, (including merging, saving as older versions, tiff's & png's and reimporting, correcting in photoshop...) and the only way that has produced a small enough file size was to remove any beauty in my illustrations and make them completely flat, solid, colors. At first, the client was pleased with the results, but has now decided they are not pleased and want to be able to use the original illustrations that I provided and still have a small file size.
Suggestions?

Your client is painting you into an impossibly small corner, and for no reason. Large posters such as you will be producing are printed on expensive inkjet plotters, operated by professional print service bureaus. Those people use professional graphics programs, including Illustrator. They would most likely prefer either native files (ie: Illustrator) or PDFs. Your client is asking for impossibly small EMF files because... well there’s no way to logically finish that sentence. Probably that’s the format they grew up with or that they were told works best with Microsoft Word. Perhaps it did, too, in the 1990s.
Since quality of image is probably the most important factor, anything you do to make smaller size or EMF compatibility a priority will compromise that, probably for no good reason. See if the print shop will accept PDF. See if the client can work with PDF, if the client feels some need to work with the files.

Clip Art Showing as Wav file

I am having aproblem on multiple computers where the clip art images downloaded from the Internet are showing as .wav files.
I have cleared the Temporary Internet Files and temp folder on the hard drive. I have also verified that the image is (for example) and jpeg and the file is supposed to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Nothing has worked and I am getting quite frustrated. I have checked the kb that Microsoft has on their web page and did what they mentioned, but we are also not using a proxy so that can't be the issue.
Any information anyone could provide would be great and appreciated!
Thank you

Dear Tiffany,
This issue usually occurs because of the un-proper settings in IE. Based on the current situation, I suggest trying some methods to troubleshoot the issue and check
if the problem can be resolved.
Method 1: Check the program that opens the clip art picture
=========
Right click the clip art picture and choose
Properties. In the General tab, make sure
Internet Explorer is selected after Option with. If Windows Media Player is selected, please click the
Change button and change it to Internet Explorer.
Check the issue again. If the problem persists, let’s continue.
Method 2: Reset IE settings
================
1.
Exit all programs, including Internet Explorer (if it is running).
2.
Click
Start. Type the following command in the
Search box, and then press ENTER:
inetcpl.cpl
3.
The
Internet Options dialog box appears.
4.
Click the
Advanced tab.
5.
Under
Reset Internet Explorer settings, click
Reset. Then click Reset again.
6.
When Internet Explorer finishes resetting the settings, click Close in the
Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
7.
Start Internet Explorer again and check the issue.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

What is a good source for clip art for keynote

I'm looking for some free clip art for use in Keynote and Pages. Got any suggestions?

Hi Wolfki;
No generic PCI cards will NOT work in the PCI Express slots. In fact they don't even fit.

Trying to find a general clip art library - Totally stumped

we just bought our first IMac and got IWork 08

I can't find them anywhere
I've looked in Inspector and Media - I realize I can import my own photos, but I just want to choose from a bunch of pre-packaged
I can't seem to open finder and grab says I don't have the rights to use it
HELP please
I've very frustrated
Thanks

If you are making documents for personal use, I suggest http://images.google.com/ .

Old Corel Clip Art

Blast from the past! Years ago I bought CorelDRAW 6 for the Mac (yes, the Mac). Of course, the software is hopelessly obsolete, but it came with a great clip art package. Some of the images are much better than what you'd expect. But they're in some weird format -- can't even see a file extension -- and the only program that I've ever been able to open them in is Illustrator 8. Even AI 9 wouldn't do it.
My old Mac with Classic still on it conked out. Does anyone have any idea how I could get these files to open in OS X?
Thanks.

Opened Inkscape on my Mac using their mickey mouse emulator X11.
When I tried to import the CMX I got this error notice:
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.
You need to install the UniConvertor software.
For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor.
For Windows: download it from http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor and install into your Inkscape's Python location.
Don't know what to do with that.

Clip Art, Picture Frames, Borders, etc...

I was wondering if there is a place where you can get clip art, more picture frames and cool borders for Pages 08?
Thanx
Joe

I'm afraid you're looking completely in the wrong place. PS doesn't produce instant galleries, it is a full-blown professional image editing app. Hence there is no such thing as decorative borders, clip art and what have you. Of course al lof that can be added with PS in a million ways like patterns, shape brushes or by using text with dingbats, but it's not prefab stuff. And "easy" is very much a matter of perception and experience, but from what it sounds like, you wil lbe much happier with Photoshop Elements or similar products from otehr vendors...

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents. Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.

Is there a way to remove the white background from clip art

Is there a way to remove the white background from clip art?

And replace it with what? transparency? You'll need to work in a format that supports that like png or psd. So you'll need a good editor too.
