Compelling visual content.
You need it. You want it. But it's almost impossible to find. You either have to turn to expensive traditional stock agencies, commission a photo shoot or do some serious image retouching. All of which takes time and money. And the royalty free photo volumes you've evaluated don't come close to meeting your exacting standards of quality. Well, all that is about to change,here are the advantages of choosing royalty free first.
Choice
More than 3,600 aesthetically and technically superior images. The photos and illustrations in the Digital Vision Collection are designed to meet the needs of today's most discerning creative professionals. Our first 36 titles will provide you with a digital treasure chest of spectacular photography and unique illustrations. Each CD-ROM showcases 100 thematically related images chosen by a team of expert picture editors and art directors and designed to provide you with the necessary visuals to effectively communicate your message. Whether you need a shot that captures the antics of an energetic baby boy, a silhouetted image of a frustrated corporate executive, a breathtaking photograph of the rugged Monterey coastline, a clip photo of a turn-of-the-century coffee grinder, or a hand-illustrated picture of a whimsical cat, we've got you covered! And this is only the beginning. Three outstanding Libraries comprise The Digital Vision Collection. We've divided our Collection into three distinctly separate Libraries to make it easier for you to quickly locate the images you need. The Professional Photography Library is the home to numerous titles of eye-catching photographs that expertly document and portray people, business, nature, travel and more. All the people images are fully model released. It's where you'll turn to for high-powered photography again and again. These titles are a must for every designer's toolbox. The Design Elements Library contains incredible titles that provide a unique combination of still life images, photographic borders and clip objects. Each disc is built around a central theme and provides just the right mix of elemental tidbits for your next design.

Quality
We got it right: creative, production and technical specs. When it comes to our commissioned photo shoots, we've spared no expense. First, we hired some of the best assignment and professional stock photographers throughout the world. We carefully art directed the shoots, rented the props, hired the models, obtained their releases and went around the globe to get just the right shot. Then our team of traditional stock industry experts and art directors got to work. They spent countless hours looking at hundreds of transparencies selecting only the most exceptional images. Getting the technology specifications just right. When it came time for technology, we turned to a phenomenal team of experienced experts to take us through the critical process of professional drum scanning, color correcting and retouching each image. We gave this team of color industry veterans implicit instructions: deliver a technically superior product line with a commitment to true color fidelity. Professional drum scans are the key to our spectacular quality. Only the best professional drum scans would do for the Digital Vision Collection. We started with a professionally oil mounted drum scan on a Crosfield Magnascan scanner. Each image was meticulously scanned, separated and saved directly into CMYK TIFF format at a finished size of 300ppi. Then we carefully color corrected, color balanced, sharpened and retouched each image by hand. Check out our technical specs, we think you'll be impressed! Each Digital Vision title contains 100 images each in high, medium and low resolution. Each image has been saved in CMYK TIFF format and then JPEG compressed at medium level, so as to minimize any loss in image quality. Our high resolution image files are 30MB and provide exceptionally crisp details when output at 300ppi in a 9 1/2" x 12" format. Furthermore, when these high resolution images are printed at 200lpi they yield spectacular results. Medium resolution files are 10MB and provide an average image area of 5" x 7" at 300ppi. Our low resolution 2MB files are ideal for comping with a 3" x 2" image area at 300ppi. Each Digital Vision image has been optimized for high-quality offset printing. Digital Vision image files are available on dual platform CD-ROMs ready for use on both Macintosh and PC systems and are accessible by any popular software program that provides support for JPEG and TIFF files. And finally, each title features the powerful Kudo Image Database which allows you to scroll through thumbnail-sized pictures of all the images contained on the CD-ROM. Or you can simply either type in keywords and let the powerful Kudo Database find just the image you need or type in the number below the image you want from the Image Index. Why did we choose CMYK TIFF format over RGB format? All Digital Vision images contain true CMYK values. Because we have scanned and saved images in CMYK TIFF, which is the native format for four color process printing, imagesetting is faster and colors are more accurate. In addition, potential production problems that can stem from unpredictable RGB to CMYK conversions are eliminated. Remember, colors that are produced on an RGB monitor are not necessarily achievable on a printing device. Simply put, when you print an RGB image you lose the color details. We believe that our aesthetically superior images are meant to be seen in all their colorful and majestic glory. And the exceptional quality and clarity you'll see when you print a Digital Vision image, is all the proof you'll need that we made the right decision when we chose CMYK. Here's how to get the most performance out of the Digital Vision Collection! We recommend the following system configurations:
Macintosh Configuration Macintosh IIci or faster. 16MB of RAM or greater. 100MB of free hard disk space. System 7.0 or later. Dual speed or faster CD-ROM drive. 24-bit color monitor.
