CS3 w/Vista and My Clip Art Collection

Hi - have had CS3 for about six months but just now getting deep into using it (good bye Quark!). Tried to use some clip art from my collection and it gives me a message that the type can't be opened and is not compatible. In the controls I have them all turned on - .bmp, .tif and of course, even the .jpegs! But it will take nothing off the CDs. It imports and uses clipart from lots of other sources, but declines any of my CDs. I even tried cut, past and copy in the clip board - but it does the same thing. Now, granted they are ten years old on average - but the base format did not change - did it? Also, I had no problem opening them with my 7.1 Adobe Pagemaker under Vista, or at this time with any other program on the same computer. HELP!

Not only does WMF not support CMYK (no big deal in this day an age)
there's no apparent support for bezier curves, either.
So, anything that looks like it has curves really has lots of little
straight line segments. If you scale it up, you wind up with the same
problem you have with raster images.
FWIW, the only program I've found that does a good job of creating WMFs
is CorelDRAW. Illustrator's capabilities there are awful unless I
haven't been able to find some settings for smoothing out the curves.
Circles usually wind up looking like octagons.

DW CS3 for Vista and Mac OS compatibility

Hi
I use Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista. I also have a Mac OS
laptop. I am thinking of Running the MAc version of Dreamweaver on
the Laptop. Would the files between the two systems be
interchangeable.
In other words, if I created a site on the Vista machine
would I be able to edit it on the Mac and vise versa.
Thanks

HTML is HTML. There is no platform specificity in it. You
should have no
problem. I routinely work in the same site on the same files
on either Mac
or PC.

Adding Clip art and text

I am fine tuning my Premeire Elements Video and adding music, text and some clip art. I am using Premiere 8. When I add clip art and text it goes in fine but when I do a preview playback the text and or the clip art fanishes before the end of the clip. I have put in "time stretch" for the clip, is there any way to also lengthen the clip art and the text? I have looked and read but am not finding the answer. Thanks

Meantime, have you checked out my free 8 part Basic Training series on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com?

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.

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

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.

Now that I'm fully converted to Aperture for photos, I find I have no tool to roganize my clip art.
Anyone know of anything - perhaps not so high-end - that will allow me to import, store, search on, ad metadata to etc gifs and comparable clip art?
Thanks!

There’s no reason whatever why thos wouldn’t work, as long as the images are in a format that iPhoto works with - and that’s any format that can open with quicktime.

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.

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

I want to know how to save photos and clip art to my photo libary.

I want to save different photos and clip art (non-copyrighted) to my desktop photo library. I do not know how to do this. Can someone help me?

When you see the image you want, right click on it and say '''Save Image As'''. In the box that pops up, navigate to the folder you want to save it as, and click '''Save'''

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.

Clip art and stock photos

Hi; I'm working on Grant's challenge and I was looking for clip art and photos to use. I searched for free ones but the sites I found are not places I want to go because they do not look like shady places. Any recommendations?

Mickey,
A while back I bought ClickArt 400,000 from Boderbund. It was very inexpensive. Check out their website. Every so often they run a special promotion with free shipping.

Clip art and messy borders?

Hello all,
I upgraded from photoshop elements 6 to cs4. PE6 had quite a few clip art and various photo art enhancements, but I don't see any in cs4, but I know they must be somewhere in there. Can someone please direct me to the clipart. I would like to put fancy squigly border pieces on the corners of my photos and I would like to get some of the edging borders that surroung the photos that look like chalky borders. Please direct me on where to go
Thank you!

Going back many versions, there used to be sample images included. Cannot recall if these were dropped in PS3, or PS4. There were few, though there were some ClipArt items, IIRC (may be thinking of AI).
As John points out, there are tons of libraries available for purchase, and if you have MS Office, MS has a ton of both stock photos, ClipArt and similar available. Do not know if that is available without Office.
There are also many sites that have a lot of decent ClipArt, and much of it is free, or reasonably priced.
The one thing to consider is the exact format of these. Some are bitmapped line art, and some are in proprietary formats, like WordPerfect's Graphics format. Others are Vector art and can be disassembled and reassembled at will. This will be easier in AI.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.
