Summary: An incredible amount of clipart, but unstable.
Review: I owned copies of Masterclips since it began with only 50,000 clips. Clipart featured are good quality artwork yet economically priced. Very good value for money compared to near rivals - corel gallery or clickart. I have found the range illustrated on a comprehensive colour catalogue very convenient and easily referred to, unlike some who only provide a black & white paper catalogue. The thumbnail reference is just as good if a wee bit tedious. I am waiting for 2 million cliparts to come with a further improved thumbnail browser based on subject categorization besides 1,000,000 on colour print. A wishlist - Is it possible to get rest of clipart on cd? I do not mind having another 28 cds for the next 500,000 clips. Less tedium than downloading from website the rest.

Summary: An incredible amount of clipart, but unstable.
Review: There really is an incredible amount of clip art in this collection. A good portion of it is even useful. The only problem I have with the software is having to shut down all running applications on my computer in order to use the browser feature. With 192mb of ram on my system, I should have ample resources to do what I want, but for some reason, this software locks my computer up tight.

Summary: Good Clip Art Collection
Review: This is a fair collection for the money. The 500K images you receive on 24 cds are adequate. To get the other 750K you have to subscribe (for free) to a 1 year online membership. After the free 1 year, you are back to 500K, so this is misleading. They should title it 1.25 million images for 12 months.

The main problem I have are the disks are stored in cardboard albums. When mine arrived I removed the shrink wrap. Disk #1 (install & search disk) had fallen out of its slot and moved around within the album during shipment and was scratched making installation very difficult. After several attempts and un-installs, success! Search capabilites with this disk are now unstable. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't. The remainder of the disks seem to be OK. The images we use most are the large collection of color workplace signs (No Smoking, No Parking, Exit, Fire Extinguisher, etc. This alone will pay offset the cost for most businesses.

Summary: To be fair, it's a TON of great clip art, but very unstable.
Review: This software has a ton of great clip art and photos for use, but the browser software for it is a massive resource hog and very unstable. In order for me to use it, I have to shut down everything thats running on my system, and then launch the Masterclips browser. Even then, it still locks up.

I uninstalled the software and put it on the shelf to collect dust.
