ARTstor Workshop

2. Sharing Images

Once you have created an image group, you can place it in a private or a public folder. Public folders are visible to everyone at your institution and can be found on the tool bar under Find or on the homepage under Folders and Image Groups. For more information see Sharing Images (from Washington Technical College, log information specific to WTC)

3. Downloading to PowerPoint

4. Using Images in Flyers

ARTstor downloads in two formats only: JPEG and Powerpoint.

Once you've downloaded the image, you can insert images into whatever program you are working in. For example, of you are working in Word:

Insert an image: Image --> Picture
Once you have inserted the image, you can resize it, use Artistic Effects, and generally play around with your image.

To write text on top of the images, you must insert a textbox.

Insert a Textbox: Insert --> Textbox
Be sure to Bring Forward the textbox so it is in front of the image
Under Shape Fill, use No Fill if you want the box to be transparent

You can use the various templates and frames available for textboxes

*Remember* ARTstor images can only be used for educational, non-commercial purposes. For more information see Terms of Use above.
