Vista users avoid this

Reviewed by Benoit Ratelle, 2009-06-14

Even though the software claims its compatible with Vista, after I have installed it twice, I have to report that ClickArt 1.5 million is not compatible. I had to reload Vista from scratch and you know how painful this can be; before I found out it was ClickArt actually causing the problem.

I just cant believe they let a product out like this without proper debugging, but this seems to be the case here.

Yes, it really is a five star value

Nothing to complain about here. It is clip art/photos by the pound. Especially, if you are a web designer, you'll find more than enough artwork for nearly every imaginable purpose. Like all massive collections, you'll find lots of dated, low rez images, but the quantity of images and value of the collection make it a "must have" for most graphic designers. (Okay if you are a doing super high quality print designing, you won't find any useable image here, but you probably know that all ready. But for the price, it still is a great graphic reference.

worst ever!

I AM GIVING THIS ONE STAR CAUSE AMAZON FORCES ME TO PUT IN AT LEAST 1 STAR.
I bought this item and installed it on my fairly new computer. no viruses on my system, everything up to date and working prefectly. I backed up my important files before hand, thank goodness! As soon as I started the program, everything on my system froze! I restarted the computer and tried again, everything froze. The disks weren't working at all. Nothing worked. I couldn't even shut down my computer. I had to do the worst thing ever...press the off button on the computer! I tried it all!

I uninstalled the program and that took 20 mins. I went to another computer in my house and went to the support address they give on the one sheet of information that the software comes with...the item is not there. They have it listed under offered products, but not for support.

FORGET BUYING THIS JUNKY PROGRAM. IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR COMPUTER.

The worst program I ever used. It's hard to find your art, slow and impossible to find fonts where you have to open each folder to see the fonts and when you close the folder it then has to reload all the font files again to pick another folder. This was time conuming, I think it took 3 minutes to reload all the font files so to start all over again to see more fonts. You can't even load the 8 disk on your hard drive so you don't have keep popping in disk each time to see art on a particular disk.Keep your money and find another program to buy. Very poor desing.

Good for Web Design

Reviewed by Holy Reviewing, 2008-06-15

I shopped around quite a bit before I got this one and I am happy with my purchase. This has tons of photo objects, photos, and vector art. A good portion the contents is of good quality if you are not looking for large pictures. I do a lot of web design and it is perfect for me. The search capabilities are impressive. When typing in a word or two you can search most of the collection in seconds. It uses hemera's search program and probably contains most of hemera's photo objects. In fact, it has just about anything you are looking for. This is both good and bad and is the only reason why I marked it 4 stars instead of 5. This collection is so extensive it also has stuff in it I don't want to see. Beware of women dressed very immodestly. I haven't looked to see how immodest they might get, but I don't plan on it either. Nevertheless, if you're thinking about children using this or if you have problems with porn, you probably should proceed with extreme caution. Nevertheless, if you have enough self control or don't care about that kind of stuff then this product is pretty useful. For the most part if you are not searching for something bad you won't come across it. In addition, all the pictures are fairly small when you're searching and you have to put in the right dvd and click on the image in order to make it large. So if you are trying to avoid seeing something inappropriate, it is somewhat possible.

This product comes with quite a few fonts, several leave more than to be desired, many are nice. If you want to install all the fonts you will be in for a treat. They are all in separate folders and it forces you to install them one at a time...unless, you know what your doing... I downloaded a program named FileMonkey from download.com and used it to exact all the files from each folder and place them in one folder on my desktop. Then I merely copied all the fonts and pasted them into my font folder inside of my control panel. Nevertheless, this will slow down some programs that use these fonts, because having over two thousand fonts on your computer is a little more than normal.

Also on a different note...
If your a stickler for copyrights, there are some copyright issues associated with this package. Nevertheless, most of it boils down to that you can't sell the pictures inside of the package to other people. You can make something with the images and then let other people display your design, but you can't sell your design. I don't believe this mean that you can't charge people a fee for the creation and ability to display the design, but you can't sell your design to them and allow them to in turn market your design to others. At least, this was my understanding after reading their rights of use.

For those who are concerned about Vista compatibility... it works great. I have been using on Vista for a little over a month and haven't had a problem yet.

Overall the product is quite nice for web designers and for graphic artists who don't need large picts. The downfalls it posses are probably shared by most other competing products.
