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!

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.

Masking and clip art with transparent backgrounds

I'm new to iWeb and am creating a travel blog. So far love the simplicity of it. However, when I try to add clip art type images or graphics with transparent backgrounds I always get a white border around them. I have tried to mask or crop the border out but no dice. Any help?!
Also, if anyone can recommend a good source for travel or photo related clip art let me know. The iWeb "Roadtrip" template seems to have some cute items - maps, scissors, tape, etc. - but there is not much there.
Thanks everyone.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's the default border for added image files. Go to the Inspector/Graphic pane and take off the frame/stroke that is added by default.

Be sure to post a request to remove that default border at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html. The more complaints the better.

Is there clip art for Pages

My wife was trying to recreate something she had done in MS Word the other day, using Pages, but there is no Word Art or apparently no resources for clip art with iWork. AppleWorks had some clip art available.
Are there any resources for clip art for iWork/Pages?

Pages accepts .eps and .ai (converts both to .pdf), .pdf, tiff, .pict, .jpeg and .png.
There are a wealth of all these out there. Some free, some paid, lots cheap. Search for them.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Clip Art/Graphics

Hello,
I am taking an on-line digital scrapbooking class at my local community college. We are using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. I have been trying to get help so that I am able to see the clip art that my class is using. Yesterday before I uninstalled and then reinstalled my software, I could see the clip art/graphics but the ones with a blue triangle in the upper right corner would not upload. My internet is working properly since I was on-line for my class.
After reinstalling my software, all the clip art/graphics are useable, but I do not have the collection like before.
Please can someone help me so I can keep up with my class. Thank you in advance for any help that comes my way.
Thank you again,
Angela

Barbara, thank you very much. I really miss it. I have tested jalbum. It's great.
PSE 12 should also offer something like this.

Clip art in Photoshop elements 9

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9, I was working with the trial for a few weeks and had to have it. I am new to this software but I am learning pretty quickly; I am designing a book cover for my wife using a photo I took and wanted to know if you can insert a clip art image. I am trying to add an image of angel wings to the photo. I have already added a new text layer and want to place the wings underneath the text, Any help with this would be great.
Thanks again.
MM

1) Open your main image in the Editor window and add text - you will have two layers in the layers pallet.
2) Open your angel image (File >Open then browse to image)
3) With both images in the project bin double click the main image to place it back in the Editor window.
4) Click the angel image in the project bin and drag it up into the main editor window - this will create a third layer.
5) Select the hand tool and hold down shift and drag the corner handles of the bounding box to re-size the angel image then move to position by dragging.
6) Save as a PSD or for jpeg Click layer >Flatten image >Save As.

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

Clip Art for Pages?

This there "Clip Art" in Pages like there is in MS Word? I would like to put some Christmas Clip Art in some documents that I will be creating. I would like for them to be high resolution so they look good when I print them on high quality paper.
Is there a library of clip art in Pages for me to use?
Kevin Hawkins

Well, yes and no. There is no formal set of clipart for Pages, but I did do a rather large set of themes for Keynote a while back, and many of the elements were graphic image files which work well with Pages.
It was called the twelve Themes of Christmas, included numerous religious images (some unique images of unglazed nativity figures) and velvet themes (complete with gold cords)
Then there was the Gingerbread theme, complete with numerous candy graphics (including Cookies! And several styles of hard candy)
A few of the other themes were simpler, but the most complex was the Wrapping theme, including riibbons, bows, several styles of wrapping paper and such.
All the themes came with special corners, tops, bottoms and sides that would fit seamlessly for slide-slide transitions (box, slide, etc) All of them work rather well in Pages (they are sized for 1024x768 slides) and are 'good enough' for most projects (the corners could be used with the various pieces to create longer items)
I took them off the market due to the size (300M altogether) and a family emergency that turned up. Since then I have directed most of my energies to Pages.
Would they be appropriate for your uses? I'm unsure of how much interest there would be for such a heavy download.

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, 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 recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bob
What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

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.

When saving a document as a PDF for printing, I lose pages, clip art, and my orginal format. Help!

I have created some forms for our congregation to fill in with answers on adobe forms central. When I go to turn it into a PDF for printing for a hard copy, (not all our members have internet) when i save it to a PDF, it doesn't save all the pages and formats it differently then show on the screen i programmed it onto. How do I fix this issue?

Hi;
In the "Feature Tutorials/Help" linked from the top of the main page of the Forums: Feature Tutorials / Help
There is a Tutorial on "Creating and distributing fillable PDF Forms": Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
The main thing to look at is the "View" setting and for PDF set it to "Page View", the page breaks you define in Page View will be used in the PDF, there are also "implicit" page breaks added automatically based on the page size.
For the issue with clip art see this FAQ: Image does not show up in PDF
Thanks,
Josh

Inserting Clip Art In A Pages 09 Document

How do you insert clip art in to a Pages 09 document? I am new to iWork after using Appleworks for many years. I have many CDs of Nova Art Explosion Clip Art that I want to use in my documents. I can not seem to find any information on how to insert clip art. All help greatly appreciated.

John,
Just to let you know Pages does not use .wmf and .pict is mostly history now.
*The main formats that Pages will use are:*
.jpeg, jpeg2000, .tif, .png, .gif, .pdf and .ai saved with .pdf preview.
Of the *Nova Art Explosion Clip Art* the most useful will be the vector .eps files which Pages will convert to .pdf when imported.
*Best is to open and convert the .eps clipart in Preview*
Which does several things:
1. It converts them to .pdf
2. It converts them to color managed cmyk
3. It shrinks the image selection to the image's bounding box ie gets rid of all the background and only selects the image.
4. As long as there is no opaque background drawn as part of the clipart, you will have a transparent background.
5. It will save the file as a very small .pdf file
6. The pdf file will be viewable in Finder on the *Icon Preview* or in CoverFlow, also when you view it in your *Open dialog box*.
*There are 4 ways to import the clipart*
1. Drag and drop it into Pages from Finder.
If you drop it into text it will become an inline graphic and act as it it was a character in the text, moving with the text.
If you drop it on a non-text area it will create its own image box and fill it.
If you drag it onto an image placeholder box it will either neatly fit into the image box or be cropped, however the box has been set-up.
2. You can use +Menu > Import > Choose… > browse to image > select > OK+ This will drop the image into the middle of your page view at its original size in its own image box.
3. You can make a collection of clipart in a named folder then drag that folder into the top pane of the Media Browser:
+Menu > View > Show Media Browser > Photos+
When you click on the folder in the Media Browser the contents will be displayed in the preview window underneath from where they can be dragged into the Pages layout or onto image boxes.
4. Pages has something called Shapes which you can add by going to the Shapes menu on the window Toolbar. These are native Pages drawings. They can be scaled, colored and contain text or images which are cropped by the shape.
Right at the bottom of the Shapes menu is a pen tool which lets you draw your own shapes, however it is one of the worst drawing tools I have encountered on the Mac.
Shapes can be imported from .svg files. .svg is an open vector or vector + bitmap file format readable directly in most *Web Browsers*. Unfortunately they are not directly supported in Pages, but they can be imported using svg2key into Keynote as shapes, from where they can be cut and pasted into Pages.
OmniGraffle has sets of clipart called Stencils, these can be cut and pasted into Keynote and possibly into Pages, but requires you to have a copy of OmniGraffle on your machine.
A great deal of commercial and free clipart is available on the Net, much of it substantially better than the crude, cheap looking Nova material which was mostly "sourced" from PC clipart nad has that sort of style and color palette.
ClipArt can be very good and can be very bad, make sure you select the appropriate style and format for your work. You can scour through the Nova collection for the few good examples and make your own selection converted to useful formats such as .pdf and keep them in labelled folders which you can then select from previews using large *Icon View* or CoverFlow in Finder.
You can also copy and paste clipart from AppleWorks.

How can I raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12?

I want to raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12. Can anyone help?

jcomput
Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
If you are in the Expert workspace...
a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
or
b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.
