Clipart is a vector graphic. It comprises coloured areas and lines. This explains why clipart typically has a cartoon-like appearance. Clipart can be varied in size with no loss in quality.
In the selection area, open "Clipart". Clipart is organised in categories to give you a better overview (selection list in the selection options). The categories of "Favourites" and "Trash" are also available for clipart. Highlighted objects can be added into these categories using the dropdown menu (right mouse button). In the object browser select the thumbnail of the clipart you want to use, hold down the left mouse button, and drag it into the product editor work area.
You can move, scale, rotate, position and align clipart in the product editor just like any other placeholder. See the chapter "Working with page layouts" for details. Simply double-click on your chosen clipart, or, if it is highlighted, click on the "Edit" icon in "Photos", to open the "Edit Clipart" option. This allows you to change the colours in the clipart individually. Double-click on the colour field "After" to open the colour selector for the new colour and simply turn a pink suitcase into a blue suitcase.

Most clipart only contains 2 to 6 colours, however some clipart contains gradients or many colours, which can make editing very cumbersome. |
In the same dialogue, clipart can also be mirrored in both directions. With the new settings (colour and mirror images), you can also save it under "My clipart" so that you can use it on other pages or for other products. "Reset" restores the original clipart.
You can click the "More..." button in the selection area to download additional clipart from a further collection that we hold on our servers. They are installed automatically and available immediately.
