When you perform a search with the Search File Names (Only Exact Match Performed) check box enabled, Corel GALLERY searches for the exact filename and, for items that have the filename as a keyword. Some of the search settings you choose on the Search page are applied to the keyword search only. The file name search only returns exact matches. For example, if you type "Pig" in the Search For box, the item with the file name PIG.GIF will be returned, but not the item PIGEON.CCX, even if you choose "Partially" from the Keyword list box.

The setting you choose from the In list box applies to the file name search. For example, if you want to search for a button or theme from the Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 User Guide, you have to choose "All Categories" from the In list box.

Overview: Getting started
Getting started

Corel GALLERY lets you find the clipart, photos, Web images, animations, sounds, and videos you want quickly and easily. Before you get started in Corel GALLERY, you should be familiar with the following concepts:

Clipart

Clipart images are ready-made images for use in all kinds of applications. Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 clipart are vector images, stored in Corel Compressed Exchange file format (.CCX). This format is ideal for use in CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Corel VENTURA 8. Corel GALLERY can also convert clipart to formats that can be used in other applications, such as Corel WordPerfect and Microsoft Office applications.

Photos

Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 photos are bitmap images, stored in Wavelet Compressed Bitmap file format (.WI).

Vector images and bitmaps

For information about the difference between vector images and bitmaps, see Understanding vector and bitmap images.

Web images

Web images are images for special use in HTML documents. Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 Web images are stored in GIF format (.GIF).

Animations

Animations in Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 are animated GIFs [image] Web images that move. You can incorporate Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 animated GIF files into HTML documents as you do other image files.

Sounds

Sounds included in Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 are stored in two file formats: MIDI (.MID) and Wave (.WAV). Sound files can be played using Microsoft Windows Sound Recorder or a compatible application on your computer.

Videos

Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 videos are stored in Video for Windows file format (.AVI) and played using the Microsoft Windows Video Recorder or a compatible application on your computer.

Fonts

A font is a set of characters that usually includes the alphabet and several other symbols. Each font has different characteristics that change its appearance. The font you choose for your text can completely change the mood of your message.

Examples

Thumbnails

Thumbnails are small, low resolution images displayed in the Thumbnail View area on the Corel GALLERY desktop to represent items on the Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 CD-ROMs. Thumbnails let you preview images, that is, clipart, photos, Web images, and animations.

Icons

Icons are pictorial representations of Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 items.

Overview: Understanding vector and bitmap images
Understanding vector and bitmap images

This section outlines the differences between vector images, such as the clipart included in Corel GALLERY 1,000,000, and bitmap images, such as the photos included in Corel GALLERY 1,000,000.

If you haven't worked with image-editing programs, you'll find this section especially informative.

What is a vector image?

Vector images, also called object-oriented or draw images, are defined mathematically as a series of points joined by lines. Graphical elements in a vector file are called objects. Each object is a self-contained entity, with properties such as color, shape, outline, size, and position on the screen included in its definition.

Since each object is a self-contained entity, you can move and change its properties over and over again while maintaining its original clarity and crispness and without affecting other objects in the image.

What is a bitmap image?

Bitmap images, also called raster or paint images, are made of individual dots, called pixels (picture elements), that are arranged and colored differently to form a pattern. When you zoom in, you can see the individual pixels that make up the total image. Increasing the size of a bitmap increases individual pixels, which makes lines and shapes appear jagged. Reducing the size of a bitmap also distorts the original image because pixels are removed to reduce the overall image size.

Because a bitmap image is created as a collection of arranged pixels, you cannot change the size, shape, or location of individual pixels. You can, however, refine and apply effects to the entire image.

This illustration shows the difference between vector and bitmap images. 1) Vector image 2) Bitmap 3) Some of the shapes used to make 1 4) A close up showing the pixels in 2

glossary


Bitmap (definition)
Bitmap

An image composed of a series of pixels or dots. Scanners and paint programs, such as Corel Photo House, generate this type of image. By contrast, CorelDRAW creates images using vector objects [image] shapes stored internally as mathematical equations. Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 photos are bitmap images.


Color mode (definition)
Color mode

Determines the range of colors and tones that are available in an image, and is usually measured by the number of colors displayed, for example 256 colors, or 16 million colors.

The color mode you select for your image affects the file size, as well as the quality of the final image that is printed or displayed on a monitor. Color mode is identified by a number of bits.


CMYK

A color mode made up of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (B). In the CMYK color mode, color values are expressed as percentages, so a value of 100 for any ink means that it is being applied at full saturation. Used in most full-color commercial printing, CMYK is like CMY, but the addition of black allows for true blacks and a wider tonal range. The CMYK color mode is based on the CMYK color model.


Pixel (definition)
Pixel

Short for picture element. Pixels are dots on a computer or television screen that combine to form an image. Computer images are created as an array of such dots, each having a specific color.


File compression (definition)
File compression

Computer files are often stored in a compressed format to save space on your hard disk. There are several compression techniques that can be used, depending on the original file format. Generally, the more compressed a file is, the slower it is read to and/or written to.

Compression can be lossless or lossy. Lossless compression retains all the original data through the compression and decompression processes. Lossless compression is recommended for storing text or numerical data, such as spreadsheets. Lossy compression loses some of the original data, but depending on your requirements, this loss may not make a difference in the final result of your work. Lossy compression can compress your original files to a much greater extent than lossless compression, and so it may be desired when disk space is at a premium.


World Wide Web (definition)
World Wide Web (WWW)

The graphical component of the Internet. Text and images are displayed on Web sites using HTML coding and GIF and JPEG picture formats. Web documents can be viewed using an Internet browser.


Filter (definition)
Filter

A program that translates one file format to another or that processes the information in a file to produce a special effect, such as embossing.


Metafile (definition)
Metafile

A metafile is a file format that can contain bitmaps, vector images, and text.


vector graphics (definition)
Vector graphics

Graphics created in programs such as CorelDRAW in which shapes are represented as a series of lines and curves. Vector graphics are also referred to as object-based graphics or line art. This contrasts with bitmap graphics, which are created pixel by pixel in paint programs and by scanners. Corel GALLERY 1,000,000 clipart images are vector graphics.
