Customer Reviews of Art Explosion 300,000 Premium Image Collection
No keywords or search index This clip art collection is a big disappointment. The quality of the vector graphics is quite low, but a bigger problem is the search engine. They include a tool called Portfolio Browser, but it does not offer any keywords or text search. Instead, you must load one "portfolio" at a time by navigating to a folder on the CD. This is a very inefficient way to sort through 30,000 images, since each folder may contain only 100 or so pictures. <

>You can copy the CDs to a hard drive (manually), but when you open the portfolio folders it demands that you insert the CD to load the image. With such a large number of CDs, this too is unwieldy. <
> <
>So to summarize, this is a collection of 30,000 low-quality images without a usable search or browsing capability. I do not envision myself ever using this.
Mediocre
Hard to sort through the clip art.
<
>Not user friendly.
<
>Artwork is disappointing and some are grainy.

>You get what you pay for.
Know before you buy!
I purchased this product because the information provided said the images on the CD were photoshop compatable. That's only partly true. Not being a professional graphics arts person I didn't realize Photoshop won't read vector files. You have to put them through Illustrator or Freehand before you can use them directly in photoshop.

>We are professional photographers and provide scrapbooks as one of our products. The clip art vectors were for that and now I'm going to have to convert them before I can use them. An extra step that is costly in time.

>Nova needs to alter their language on their information for the novice user (like myself) that vector graphics require conversion in some software applications. At least I would have checked my program first.
