# help: | # Clip Art
| DiscLabel has high quality vector clip art available via a separate download from the DiscLabel download page. Once you have downloaded the clip art compressed archive file, uncompress it by double-clicking on the file. You can drag the resulting folder of clip art to any location on your hard drive. The clip art will be found automatically and indexed by DiscLabel's built-in Spotlight module.
| Access the clip art from DiscLabel's Edit function by clicking the Clip Art button or by choosing the menu item View–Clip Art.
The first time that the Clip Art view is chosen DiscLabel may have to wait for Spotlight to finish indexing the clip art. Once indexing is complete, access to the clip art should be immediate. Initially the Clip Art view will look something like this:
| The clip art shown at first will be all the clip art available. Narrow the focus of what is displayed by clicking a (+) button next to one of the keyword terms you are interested in. If you want to see more of the keywords that are available, click more. Once you narrow the focus using a keyword, you can narrow it further by adding additional keywords. Remove a keyword from your search by clicking the (-) sign that appears next to it.
To utilize an item of clip art in your design simply click on the clip art thumbnail and it will be added to your design. Click on a different thumbnail to replace your last choice. Note that once you size or move the clip art in your design, the next thumbnail selection will add a new item item of clip art, rather than replace the existing one selected.
Note that they keywords shown beneath the chosen search keywords are all those accessible from the clip art led to by your keywords. For example if you have narrowed the search to the keyword "people", among the keyword choices beneath you might see "car." This may not seem logical, because clearly a car is not related to people, why should it be shown? It is shown because at least one item of clip art exists that is tagged with both of the keywords people and car. The clip art itself might be of people in a car. The keyword interface to locating clip art presents more of a browsing interface to lead you down a path, not a traditional searching interface, although the two are similar. |
