 Old and outdated collection August 30, 2008
This collection sucks, most of the clips are are in .tif or .wmf format making them difficult to use in modern graphic imaging software like Photoshop. The photography is out of focus and often of the "what the heck is that supposed to be?" category (those are in .jpg format). I DON'T recommend this collection for anyone who is looking for a good collection of clip art to be used in professional settings. In fact, I don't even recommend this product to anyone period.
horrible clip art August 12, 2008
Unless you are looking for 80s people pictures, pixelated images or something that a 4 year old drew in paint, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! I am a professional graphic and web designer. At work my company subscribes to top-notch photography and clip art. I was looking for something I could use at home... and boy was that software a waste of my money! The images really are horrible if you are looking for something that is at least halfway professional looking. Even my husband, who is no designer, was appalled at the images!!! DO NOT BUY IT!
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE May 9, 2008

If you bought the older version that came with a book, you won't be happy.
The computer version comes with an awkward reference library that has too few items per page with lousy quality. You have to open all the files to see what's really there. If you need to work fast. Forget it! If you like to put cats and flowers on stationery, it might be OK.
I used the previus 40,000 version on paying projects. The art was easy to find use, color, alter, etc.
After you buy it, you may be unhappy with customer service. After being on hold for 1/2 hour. I got defensive vague answers when asking if the older art was included?...some are! Do you have a pdf or higher quality freference to offer? ...Nope. Can I get my money back? No. Can I speak to a manager? Nope.
Do not buy this book...or any of the art explosions!!!
 Great Value December 2, 2007
I am very pleased with this product. More pictures and images than you could possibly need in every category. I'm very happy with the value for the money.
New version is MUCH better October 18, 2007

This image collection may have 300,000 images, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find any of them, because there is no real guide. The search engine only works on the particular disc that you are using at the time, which may only have six or seven categories. The way the pictures are organized is very confusing, and only useful for those who are very patient and those with lots of time on their hands. I use this with my high school journalism class, and my students are much too impatient to go through every single disc to find the pictures they want. The whole thing is practically useless. Don't buy this. The new version of Art Explosion is much better, because it has a book with the images in it, so you can look it up quickly.
