Outstanding Value, Buy For The Online Subscription! |
Outstanding Value, Buy For Online Subscription!
"Clipart&More 3 Million" really is a gem of a buy, if you know what you getting! As other reviewers have noted, the included CDs are basically useless and I do not use the included program at all (hence the 4 out of 5 star rating).
Included in this package is an activation code for a 1-year subscription to the clipart.com website (normally a 150 dollar fee). This is a very good site with 10 Million images (reported), a good search tool, and easy to download features. In addition, the usage and licensing agreement is very generous and allows me to use the images in my personal project (kid's homework, fliers, etc), advertising for our business and, even in our professional educational (candle making) videos we make!
Highly recommended for the access to the online images! For these needing a more dedicated clipart and printing program, I recommend Printmaster - Platinum Version 18 |

I was really disappointed when opening the box to find there is very little in the way of clip art on the CDs. Much of it was dated looking. Others were just words presented in a dozen or more ways. the real clipart is on their web site. Inside the box is an access code for one year worth of access to their good clipart. You need to search on line and then download individual pieces. At the end of the year you access runs out. This is not at all what was expected and I am really disappointed. |

Dump the CD's, just buy it for the online subscription! |

I just ordered my third set of "Clip Art & More" CD's - it's an annual rite of passage in our home. However, I never even attempt to use the CD's themselves - yes, they're pretty useless. I just want the one-year subscription code to www.clipart.com, which costs $159.95 to purchase but is "free" with software purchase (code included in software purchase). So - I buy the software (this year I found "Clipart 3.0 Million" at a site for 9.98 + 5.00 shipping - took a little hunting but deals are out there) and so for $14.98 I will now have my 2008 yearly subscription to www.clipart.com! Beats paying $160!! Clipart.com is a highly-rated graphics program (#2) in "top ten reviews" and my son and I have used it quite frequently for school projects, etc. |

Serious Misrepresentation |
|
I bought this product looking for an inexpensive home clip art collection. What I received was three discs that I basically can't access and a one year subscription to a clip art service I probably won't get my money's worth out of. What an extreme disappointment. The least IMSI could have done was actually stated this is a subscription service you are buying. I will not buy from IMSI again. They don't advertise the truth with their product. I'll stick to Nova. I've bought their product before and they deliver what they advertise. I'll pay the extra money for that. Boy did I get burned!! |

Know what you are getting. |
Totally agree with the other reviews.
The physical product you receive in the mail is really useless. Disc one contains a software program that should allow you to search the other two discs in the set. Those, by the way, contain wire-framed art (looks rendered back in 1980)and some bad sound effects. So, totally NOT what I was expecting (and thus the poor rating).
This is basically paying $39.95 for a one year membership to a great web site that will cost $169.95 per year thereafter.
Regardless of whether the value is worth what you get (and it probably is), the offer and product are still not clear. |
