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

I would like to print and 8x10 as a full page of wallet size photos

I would like to scan an 8x 10 picture and print as a page of wallet size pictures. How do I do that?

Wallet sized photos are 2" x 3" or 2.5" x 3.5" for the most part which will give you 8 photos per page. So do the following:
1 - Once the photo is in iPhoto put it in an album and crop it to the wallet size ratio you want: 2:3 or 2.5:3.5
2 - Duplicate the photo 7 times so you have 8 copies to fill a letter sized page.
3 - Select all the photos in the album and start the print process.
4 - Select the paper size in the upper right hand cornder and select the print size in the lower right hand corner.
5 - Print

Hi I would like to download Adobe Pro Xi the full version. Please provide a link to the full download and free trial. Thank you.

I cannot find the Adobe XI Download online. I would like the full application. Thank you.

I just want the full version of whatever Adobe application will allow me to perform the functions mentioned above.
I tried clicking on the Adobe - Acrobat : For Windows link and it gave a lot of options so I clicked on here:
FULL DOWNLOAD
Name
Size
Date
PDF iFilter 64 11.0.01
19.6 MB
1/8/2013
I downloaded that...and it said it had successfully installed but no application appeared, I didn't have to pay anything...I don't know how to get the application.
I tried downloading:
Version 11.0.10
Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10 Pro and Standard update - All languages
227MB
12/9/2014
This and it said there was an error and my computer did not support it...I have a Window 8 laptop.
For Adobe DC - if I download this again I would like to know all the programs or whatever that I need for all of its functions to work. All i want to do is save a file, that seems ridiculous that they would not include it in the application when it is so integral to its function.
Thank you for your help.

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

Any way to change speed of a clip in "over-write edit" mode?

I want to change the speed of a clip in the timeline without having to lock all the other tracks or having to move the other following clips out of sync. For example I have a clip which lasts for 1 sec, which I want to change to 3 secs. Normally when I do this in the timeline the other clips on the same video tracks which follows, will move their position..... How to change speed in "over-write edit mode"?

I think it's even easier to just match frame the "source file"... put your playhead on the clip you want to speed change in your sequence. Then type optioncmdf. Perform the speed change in the Viewer, then simply cut it in... Might help to put it up above the older, use the double arrow selection tool facing right to move the clips past this change later... pull the upper track speed changed clip down over the old, and viola.
Gotta say though, it's a lot easier to perform the speed change in the Viewer, and edit it all in as you go rather than doing it after you've put the clip in a sequence. (not always possible to determine what the speed change should be maybe, but sure easier.... FCP 7 handles this problem a lot better for sure, and worth the upgrade price if your machine is compatible.

I purchased a used 2nd generation shuffle. It had songs on it. Some songs I would like to keep(add to my library). How can I do this,or is this impossible.

Can I burn a cd from this shuffle?

You should go back to your Apple Reatiler Store since it is likely under warranty.
If'its not under warranty there e are a number of sites... here is one.

Ziatron's post in the second one is pretty comprehensive, and Roger Wilmut1's contribution in the first one.
Either way you need an analogue-to-digital converter and there's not a huge choice.
A couple of mentions are given for the EyeTV Hybrid for this job, but I don't know if that will import to iMovie. The ADC method should import directly.

I am the web master for myschool. We use sharpschool and when I go into edit our web pages all is see is the html code. I would like to have the sharpschool user friendly "word" edit come up. This does not happen with IE.

html code is all I see when editing the school website. As the web master I can write code but prefer the edit friendly version as it is quicker. IE does not show the html code.

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.

Would like to include additional attributre from AddRemove program to the Hardware inventory

Hi,
I know how to extent the inventory to pickup custom info. I would like now to add 1 field to existing inventory that picks up the add/remove program info. By default following fields are collected: Prod ID; DisplayName; InstallDate; Publisher;
Version. I would like to add the "InstallSource".
I've updated configuration.mof and added the field to the section at the top, copied to my CAS, checked dataldr.log all fine. imported *.mof to my test machine running wbemtest I can see the additional field, now when I try to either import/add from
Client default setting, i'm not able to do so, as this is greyed out and I'm not able to select additional field.
extract from my configuration.mof
class Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms
    [key]
        string    ProdID;
    [PropertyContext("DisplayName")]
        string    DisplayName;
    [PropertyContext("InstallDate")]
        string    InstallDate;
    [PropertyContext("Publisher") ]
        string    Publisher;
    [PropertyContext("DisplayVersion")]
        string    Version;
    [PropertyContext("InstallSource")]     //custom info added
        string    InstallSource;                      //custom info added
Does anybody have any suggestion how to do this? I don't want to create additional table/custom section to my configuration.mof that would pickup this info (if possible)

Yes, I know this is an old post, just trying to clean them up, did you figure this out? If so how?
I don’t recommend that you edit the built-in ARP class, I recommend that you create your own class with is a duplicate of the ARP class and add your extra attribute there. Very Bad thing scan happen if you incorrectly edit an existing
built-in class.

Hi Tberger,
If i understand you right you are saying you want to add the same 2x2 photo twice on a full 8 1/2 x 11 page ?
Are you using a certain printing application or program or are you just printing directly from the computer ?

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.

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?
