Pages Clipart User Manual / Using Clipart 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. 6/9
Pages Clipart User Manual / Using Clipart 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. 7/9
