Photo to clip art

I am trying to take a photo, and cut out one person in it and fill the person with a single color. Then place the person on a colored background. The problem is I am cutting the person out manually and it looks a little rough when placed on the background. How can I smooth the persons image, without distorting it??

It's officially called the Pen Tool. It makes paths.

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'''

Adobe Source for Photos and Clip Art

Does Adobe have its own source for clip art and photos that it's customers can use? If not can anyone recommend a good web site for such stuff (or is that not allowed under forum rules?), of course, preferably free.
Thank you

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.

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.

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.

Add new clip art to content pane in PSE 7

I want to add some additional clip art to the "create - artwork - content - by object - any category" window pane on the right of the editor screen. I am working on a photo album and need more specialized clip art than the generic stuff that shipped with the software. I looked in the Adobe folder, but nothing jumped out at me. How about a hand?

In version 3.5, we used to have a section in the workbook to display all the free characteristics, users are using that to do filter and drill down. If any new char added into query, it will be shown automatically on the workbook once it's refreshed, which usually shown on the row right above the query results. After converted to BEx 7, this section is equivalent to navigation pane of chars. Of course I can right click to find the new char from the Add drilldown menu and I also can find it in the Query Properties->General page, but then this is a totally different user interaction, we need to re-educate users on this different and notify them whenever a new char is added. Therefore I am looking for a way to show the new char at nav pane to all workbooks like before.

Clip art manager

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 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

Shared Clip Art

I work for a school district and I'm looking for a clip art and photo object collection that allows you to either install it on multiple computers or share it over a network. A subscription site might also work as long as it allows 1 subscription to be used by multiple people. Any ideas? Is such a thing available?

Short answer is no.
People who sell clip art generally want to to be sold per user

N8 - more clip art please?

Anyone aware of any apps that add more clip art to the existing photo editing software?

Hi Hunt,
I guess I was wondering if the PrE9/10 clip art is actually installed on the hard drive or embedded into a DLL library and one can only see it within the program, then export it.
SORRY.... I JUST FOUND IT ON MY HD..... it's PNG FORMAT.... no problem.
thanks...

Trying to find a general clip art library - Totally stumped

we just bought our first IMac and got IWork 08
I do a lot of desk top publishing including business cards, labels, brochures, etc

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/ .

Need something like clip art for imovie

I edit our church service each week, and burn it to a dvd to be broadcast on our local cable access channel. I want to add something like a cross or religious symbol to the titles I type across the bottom of the video clip. How can I get drawn pictures like clip art into my projects? I use imovie 06
Message was edited by: Aheart4God2

I'm looking for clip art type pictures that I can place over a title or movie clip, like you can place words when "titling" over a movie clip in a movie your editing. I'm not looking for a "picture or Photo" that will take the space over. Just something small to fit in the corner on the bottom of the movie clip that shows over the movie clip: like text does in a movie clip.It shows the text over the movie clip, and still see the movie clip. Is there some way of doing that with pictures, not just words in a title? Am I explaining it correctly? I hope my terminology is understandable. I'm not an expert by any means, but I am sincere.
I hope some one can help.
