clip art

Image quality and variety was medium. While there are some excellant images, I had to search for them through multiple categories to find them. Many, many of the images were childlike, almost cartoonish, and I'd be embarassed to use them in a religious group's newsletter (my purpose). In addition, each image seems to have a vertical black line built into it at the left side, which forces me to edit the image and overlay part of it with a white stripe. One should not have to jump through these hoops! I also could not save an image to disk; I had to select it, copy it to the clipboard, and paste into another document.

Granted, some of the images are inspirational, and there are many of a wide range of subject matter (e.g., Jesus's miricles). However, each time I load this cd to look for an image, I sigh a sigh of frustration, and wish I had something better to work from.

I realize that such a CD will have many "cartoonish" pictures and include the "ecumenical" or new age religions, but I expected that a few time-honored pictures could be found. After all, we are talking about the majesty of God!!! At least 50% of all the pictures were gross and distorted figures (most were making fun of nuns, priests and monks). Even the "kid pictures" of the saints (and they had every name you could think of) were so poorly drawn that there was no difference or distinction between them other than the Saint's name. Even the Jewish and Muslin sections looked exactly like the Christian section! They could just as well exchange some of the titles of those for the Christian ones. I did not find any dignified pictures of Christ and the Christmas section was reindeer, holly, Santa, etc. - all secular.

The best I can say is that some of the clips of Churches were good and one or two were very nice. The best ones had some detail to them and that made them look elegant. That was generally lacking in all the other pictures...
