Photo Objects 50 000 Vol 3

Rating: 2.2/5 from 10 reviews Could be betterBe Aware of the Contents!If you are a user of Hemera Photo Objects 50,000 Volumes I or II, you've grown accustomed to seeing 8 CDs and a Paperback Photo Catalog in the Box. Well, with Photo Objects Volume 3, there are only 7 CDs in the box (I initially thought my package had been mis-packed), but Hemera still packs in over 50,000 photo objects. Also, unlike Volumes I or II, Hemera has eliminated the hard copy catalog of photos as well. Still, their photo picker software works well enough that the book is not completely necessary, although I'm sure that some hard copy fans may be disappointed. If you rely on this software, and browse images a lot, I'd recommend installing the photos on your hard drive, because swapping between multiple CDs can get tedious. I think a single disc DVD version will also be available if it is not already out. Photo quality is what you'd expect if you're used to Volumes I and II, and the selection is quite wide as well. Overall, quite a nice collection. Are they Kidding???This product is horrible. The images of trucks, vehicles, cars are toys!! This is not a product that can be used professionally by a company looking to keep desktop publishing in-house. Even for free-lance work, most of these images are too cheesy to use...I would be embarrassed. There are far too many photo objects of the same item from different angles. More of a variety would be nice. I haven't yet found one photo object I can use either for our web-site, marketing material or ads. Suggestion: Unless the images on the box are exactly what you need & the only images you need, DO NOT waste your time. If only there were a way for us to view a comprehensive set of thumbnails before considering purchase..... Very disappointed, wish Amazon had negative star ratings. | ||||||||||||||
1. great number of images for reasonable price
OK:
1. application speed and search engine
2. integration of vol.1 and vol.2
Negative (things that got worse since vol.1&2):
1. no image catalog (book) that used to be included with the vol.1&2. Yet, the price is still the same as before. It was nice to have the book and decide what images I want before actually doing it on computer.
2. I haven't found the usual "image fonts" in this volume.
3. Integration is somewhat weird starting with vol. 3. Why change the system that was working perfectly fine.
4. On-line? Why would I buy 50,000 images and want to get online and buy more? Yet I think that this online feature is slowing down things (although, it can be turned off).
Overall: not as good as Vol.1, but pic quality better than in Vol.2. Still, Hemera is cutting cost by not including the usual image catalog and changing things (user interface) that have been working fine before.
