5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price., February 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hemera Photo Objects 50,000 Vol 1 (CD-ROM)

Coming from a professional design perspective and using other sources for royalty free stock photography for the past 16 years....Vol 1 is well worth the price. Other sources I've used cost more than twice as much for a few hundred shots. Not to mention that composed photography (elaborite scenes or settings) has limited uses. Photo objects allows me the freedom to create a composition exactly how I want if I need to.

Shots are super clean, most even when exported at 300 DPI . Some products are shot in multiples from different perspectives with different lens...something that 's nearly unheard of with the popular alternatives. The searchable keyword database is a life saver and so much faster display of thumbnails than Cumulus. I can locate suitable shots instantly.

Beware: Although the sales information may say "CD" it actually comes on 1 DVD. You will need a DVD drive to use this. Also, I had some issues installing it on my Mac OSX. For some reason when opening the Mac install folder it hung up every time, not allowing me access to the installer. My solution was to boot off OS 9, create and alias of the OSX installer from the DVD and place it on the desktop. Then reboot in OSX, locate the alias and double click...installed fine.

I purchased both Volumes, 1 and 2 but I'm still waiting on Vol 2. Thankfully, I don't see myself purchasing another...CD of limited pictures any time soon. I wish I had come across Hemera's product line sooner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but sneaky., August 3, 2003

I think I am happy with these, but I am not sure. The software is very strange and you cannot use the images without it. It works, but I would rather be able to catalog the images with something less clunky.

The catalog contains both vol 1 and vol 2 image previews, which in one sense is good because you know what is available, but is annoying because the images you really want to use cost another ...!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly old and out of date images but some decent as well, November 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hemera Photo Objects 50,000 Vol 1 (CD-ROM)

Images of people and computers are really dated. Forget using any of the technology related images unless you want to picture stuff thats over 6 years old. If you need basic images of flowers and animals this CD will work for you.
