Vector Art Mega Collection

[freeportsign]

I have Vector Art Mega Collection but the book that come with was dammaged (by my dog eatting it) and my wife put it in the trash before i couyld find out as she did not wont the dog to get in trouble. My question is if any ones knowes where i can get a copy of the book with out haveing to print out every picture on a single page. I tried to use profolio do do this but was unable to.

The policy at Holmes & Cottrell (the publishers of Vector Art brand clipart), due to the extent of illegal copying that goes on, is $100 each for extra books.

I do Portfolio printouts all the time and, while there are some things about it that could be better, it's adequate for in-house use. You might want to look over the print setup dialog. It has some pretty good options for quality of the thumbnails, headers and other items that will help you get decent results.

I tried to use portfolio 5 and open them to thumbnails but have been unable to get to open them like i have seen it work for others. Is there a a new version and maybe a Portfolio for Dummies Book i could pruchase

I still use Portfolio 4.

I do make a habit of transferring my clipart from CD to hard drive. I then feed in one volume at a time and keyword them as I go, as well as create a gallery for each volume.

If you have Photoshop you can create your own using the Contact sheet options.

please more detail on how to use photoshop

If you're going to put your own together, it's pretty easy in Illustrator or CorelDraw also. Just set up some guide lines and size to fit. Prints will look better out of an illustration program using the vectors than they will out of Photoshop.

In Photoshop goto
File
Automate
Contact Sheets

There you will see all sorts of settings you can mess with to get the desired results.
