Iclipart Question

[Steve Middleton]

I saw this company in a post and investigated...the losest level, $55/yr did not include vectors, that an extra $30 year. That's still cheap IMO. Anyone still using them?

I don't recommend buying clipart. There is a pretty good file in CorelDraw and if you search the internet you can usually find what you need. Creating your own using photos and vectorizing them with Corel is fairly easy.

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Ray, I ordered Art Explosion to start and go from there.

Look through Flea-bay for old versions of CD... My favorite was version 5, had a whole library of clipart that's still good with the current version....

Will Corel 4 work? That seems intuitive but I've learned not to trust my intuition:)

[Bruce Clumpner]

Yes the clipart formats in Ver 4 will open in at least x7...don't have x8 to try it out

I tried to order Art Explosion and they didn't accept my debit card. Since then I read that there are 4 CD's which is fine but .....Is there an effective directory so you're not wasting a bunch of time searching to find the right category?

[Kev Williams]

My BIL bought 2 sets of EPS clipart years ago on CD's, came with looseleaf catalogs so you could see them all, and each has a nice table contents broken down into basic categories, then further broken down to 'explained' pages, each page has about 20 images.

So I would think there would be some sort of directory, stabbing in the dark for 1 of thousands of images would get old, fast! ;)

[Steve Middleton]

I found a source for "Art Explosion"....3 CD's a VERY long list of images some of which contain a message saying "this image can't be saved"...........I have yet to decode that message???? I purchased from Amazon so...3rd party provider.....etc, etc??? I welcome any input.

[Steve Middleton]

I purchased but the clip art service is no longer supported so I returned.
