      Inserting Clipart

      After you have downloaded and saved the Jumsoft Clipart folders on your computer, you
      can start using the images in your documents. Each file is named correspondingly, so that
      you can use Spotlight to search for the most suitable illustrations.

      Inserting a clipart image:
      1. Choose a suitable format: PDF or PNG. PDF files are slightly larger but they allow for
         expanding images without the undesirable effect of visible pixels, while PNG supports
         more advanced customization.
      2. Select an image and transfer it to your document by
         clicking and dragging or using Copy and Paste.
      3. If you cannot move the image after inserting it into your
         Pages document, select it and click Floating in the Format
         Bar. In the Format Bar's Wrap pop-up menu next to the
         Floating icon, choose None so that text does not wrap
         around the image as you position it. For further text
         wrapping control, select Inspector > Wrap.

      Customizing Clipart

      For resizing, simply select an image, click on one of the eight selection handles in the
      corners and sides of its outline, and drag it outward to increase the image or inward to
      reduce it. In PDF, the images can be expanded with virtually no limits.

      Each clipart features a transparent background, which allows for placing the images on
      various backgrounds and patterns, including one on top of another.

      To add shadow or reflection effects or change opacity of an image, select Inspector >
      Graphic. The Metric Inspector allows for resizing, repositioning, flipping, and rotating an
      image; you can also rotate it by holding the Cmd button down and simultaneously moving
      one of the selection handles with the cursor.

      To make an image appear at the very top of image layers (e.g., leaf in this illustration), right-
      click on the image or press Ctrl + left-click, and select Bring to Front. If you wanted to
      place an image one layer closer to the top (e.g., make the ball appear in front of the
      strawberry), you would need to select Bring Forward. In the opposite situations, select
      Send to Back and Send Backwards, respectively.

      Customizing the PNG Images

           Image cropped with a mask using a             Adjustments made using Adjust Image
                  custom drawn shape                                (before/after)

      While the PDF format allows for expanding the images yet retaining their original quality,
      the PNG images can be customized in more advanced ways.

      Select View > Show Adjust Image to change brightness, saturation, sharpness, and other
      characteristics of an image.

      You can use masks to crop the PNG images. Select an image in a document and select
      Format > Mask or click Mask in the Format bar. Adjust the position and size of the mask
      with the selection handles. When you have finished the cropping, apply the mask by
      pressing Return and clicking anywhere outside the image or clicking Edit Mask in the mask
      control window.

      To give your image more expression, mask it with a shape: select the image and choose
      Format > Mask with Shape. Alternativelly, you can select Shapes to add a selected shape or
      draw your own using the Draw tool. Then, select both the shape and the image you want
      to mask by holding Shift and clicking on both objects, and choose Format > Mask with
      Selected Shape.
