Essential ClipArt includes over 50,000 royalty free images (all in the box, NOT web art) to choose from, and an on-screen picture browser that allows for easy viewing of clipart choices. The best thing about this product: 100% of the clipart is vector graphic, that allows the user to reshape and resize each image without losing its sharpness and clarity. Most of the competition only allows around 40% vector images in their products, so this is a nice feature of Summitsoft productivity.

While I think the clipart is great, the browser that allows you to view the clipart for selection has crashed my system over 10 times -- meaning I cannot get rid of the error message until I reboot (error message refers to the browser). I went to the distributor, SummitSoft, and they referred me to the designer, GreenStreet... Although I've emailed them five times, I've received no response, and the phone number listed for Greenstreet in the U.S. is disconnected. (I don't think it's my system because after uninstalling the software, I have no problems, and the error message refers to their browser.) Beware to people who want to get something done quickly!

Vector...yes, clip art....yes, ....yes. I was anxious to get it and when I did I wanted to send it back. It has a lot of good clip art for the right application but I wasn't interested in fru fru images of clippidy clip clip. I thought that it was going to be slightly more real...and of course I was wrong. If you are a web designer like me and need real, royalty free images taken with an actual camera or something along those lines....don't get anyting with Clip Art in the title. This was not worth the $[amount] I spent because anyone with a Windows computer running any current version of Office has massive amounts of clip art to choose from...and who needs 40,000+ images of clip art. I did think the section for hackers under jobs was a bit rediculous and cheezy. Thats just my opinion and I'm sticking to it....take it or leave it if you wish.

Very nice, straightforward collection of clip art; appears to contain over 40,000 vector graphic images relating to the title. The picture browser lets you easily cruise through all the images without resorting to paging through a lengthy book! Very happy with my purchase!
