"Best value Hemera offers, but a few cautions"
First, if you're thinking about using these photos for print, you may wish to think again. Most objects run between 300-600 pixels in width or height, or 1-2 inches at 300 DPI. Stretch them bigger than that, and they'll start to blur and/or get jagged.

Also note, that if you try to export/save an image from the Hemera Image browser and select the 300 DPI setting, the browser may stretch the graphic larger than it's actual size, causing blurring and jaggedness right out of the gate.

You need to use the "Use Image's Full Size" checkbox when exporting images. If you specify a 300 DPI size, and don't use that checkbox, you'll get a stretched image.

For example, the first image in the collection (the pocket watch) is only 384 pixels wide. If you specify 300 DPI and don't check the "Use Image's Full Size" box, the software will stretch it to 642 pixels wide. The stretching will cause the image to look fuzzier and/or more jagged when you use it in a web site or print project.

All that said, if you're going to use the images for the web, they're great.

You get almost all the images you'd find in their three "Photo Objects" collections, each of which is much more expensive than this single collection. The difference is the Photo Objects collections offer about 20-30% higher resolution (i.e. the first image in the collection is 384 pixels wide, but is 492 pixels wide in Photo Objects) and you can save the Photo Objects images with transparent backgrounds (while this collection forces you to specify a color for the background).

For the price, this is a good collection. There are lots of shots with minor variations, so it may seem like duplication, but for someone trying to get something just right, that slightly different tilt of the head may be just what the doctor ordered.

"Excellent quality and variety"
Some other people have complain about the quality, if you're a print graphic artist then its problem. As a web designer who need 2" by 2" graphics, this set is great. You do get a variety of photos of objects. For example, there's like 20 different examples of a live garnade, something like several hundred coins from different countries. For $17 this is definitely worth the money.

I've found it is best to export the image to a graphic editor. Then from there, make it transparent, resize it, and compress it to your wishes. There's a fair amount of "People" graphic, but not as much as I'd like. I don't have the 100K collection so don't know if there's any image overlapse between this and that collection.

Quality is pretty nice for small prints and great for web. Especially superb for smaller projects like christmas cards and so forth, but not good if you want to print high resolution photographs on large paper.

For $17 this is the best collection I've ever bought, Photo Objects II is still in shipping, so can't compare quality with that collection yet.

"Better than a lot of comparably priced packages!"
Sure, we aren't talking stock photography from Getty Images or Corbis here, but for the price you are paying you shouldn't be under that sort of illusion.

What you do get is a package of more photos than you will ever use in your lifetime of more things than you ever imagined you would want to use in an ad or flyer.

With the work I do as a graphic designer for a corporation I constantly need to have images to put in print media. While I grant that the images provided are not large, they are provided in a high resolution format, and are perfect for creating composite pieces, powerpoint graphics, online graphics and smaller print media. Sure, I'm not going to use them in a major ad campaign - but by using these for the smaller works I free up my budget so that I have the money to use the big stock photography suppliers when I NEED fantastic crisp images.

Worth buying as a suppliment - definitely. Should you rely on this as your only source of photographs - of course not.

"Good for basic objects"
Don't buy this product if you are looking for professional photographic results. Many of the objects are repeated and the photographs are not usable. I use it to produce pictures for preschoolers. They don't mine out of focus pictures. I do regret buying this product.

"Poor Quality Graphics"
Not worth the money...Poor quality graphics, some looked chopped on the edges....

What our customer's say!

"Most images are utterly USELESS!", In an effort to boost their file numbers and appear to be more comprehensive, the creators included many VERY low resolution images that they "artsied" or "roughed" up with a dirty polaroid-transfer effect, or split up into 5 small stagger-stacked slides, which they must have hoped would excuse the poor quality of the original image.

For example, if you do a search for "tiger", you will get 165 results, but only 86 will be of the animal, (and not one of 20 images of 10 toy tigers, or 5 images of one tiger-striped chair-cushion and so on), and of those 86, 80 have the crusty effect applied to them. The other 6 tigers have been taken out of those same 80 images and clipped out of their background to give you a floating tiger on a clump of grass or a tiger head (but have, thankfully, not been "dirtied" up with the transfer effect). Out of all, there is NOT ONE clean image of a tiger in its environment.

Here is another example. A search for "sunset" yields 247 results. Of these, 163 have the crusty polaroid transfer effect applied, and 70 are the same images duplicated (much smaller) in a sloppy stack of 5 slides. There are TWO clean sunset images.

These are typical results. Numbers don't mean anything! This product is stuffed with multiple images of toys, frankly not-so-attractive people from hard angles, and old low-resolution stock photos to achieve 150,000 files. Would it have killed them to include ONE clean, print-resolution image in each category? Perhaps we could have done without 50 of the fake slide images (talk about dated anyway!) in order to get a product worth having around.

"Just ok", At first I was excited with the new clip arts I bought. I tried it out, the resolution is good for web projects but not in print. Not all pictures are good. Though, I used some already and I like them. The search software was helpful on browsing what you need. I just say satisfactory.

"Not at all as represented!", First of all, the many samples I viewed in browsing this software are the same object just turned different angles. There are far fewer images than the number touted. This is a scam in my opinion, but a situation I could live with.

But The major issue is that most of the photo images I have searched for my actual use have very poor, actually totally unusable resolution. They have corrupted clarity, Poor pixel quality, are distorted, and unsuitable except for perhaps, a third grader's school project.

It was a complete waste of money. It is headed for the first garage sale I hold, and I will offer it for 50 cents with a non-return policy.

"Transparency Problem", This product is very nice when it works. However, I'm having the same problem as the reviewer below me. When I attempt to export the image - either by saving, draging or copying, Hemera places a transparency over the object, making the product worthless.

I gave it two stars because, for the two months it worked, it worked well, however, now, it won't work at all. And as the other reviewer stated, support is nearly non-existant.

"Can't use this program", This product offers much to chose from and I really liked the photos. However, I have yet to get this program to work right. I am able to view the photos but when I go into the the Export Wizard to save the photos, the photo has a transparency over the top of it, instead of in the background. I tried bypassing the Export Wizard by right clicking on the selected photo and saving. This also inserts the transparency over the photo. I called Hemera in Canada and they instructed me to call Encore USA in CA for support. Encore USA said they couldn't help me. Encore's technical support is "limited to crashes, error messages and lockups". I also referred to their website hoping to find help in the knowledge base or FAQ's. There was VERY little about this software and no help to be found. I wasted my money on a product I can't use and that offers no support for issues out of my control.
