If you are a frequent visitor to the Cool Tool Awards, then you know
that I am a big fan of Hemera. If your work involves graphic or web
design, and you don't know Hemera yet, boy, are you in for a pleasant
surprise.
Hemera makes the finest and most affordable CD collections of
royalty-free photos and graphics. Their Photo
Objects collections are widely used on the web. I have dozens of Hemera
CDs and I use them ALL the time. Simply put, they are priceless.
This new cool tool is called Graphics
Desk, and it enables you to access over 185,000 local and online
images and graphics.
Using their fabulous search engine and browser, you can search through
dozens of categories or perform keyword searches. I tested this over a cable
modem and the response was quite fast.
After you find a file you want, you can see a thumbnail preview or edit a
copy of the file. In fact, no other graphics editing tools are required. Graphics
Desk does it all. You can select the color of the graphic's
background, resize, crop, and make other adjustments as needed.
You can even use the browser to organize your own files on your PC.
Like their other CD-based collections, the quality and variety of the
graphics far surpasses anything else available on the market today. You can't
beat the breadth and depth of this product anywhere.
A subscription to Graphics
Desk is only $9.95 for one week, $69.95 for three months, or $169.95
for one year, but you can use the
software for free to search for files. Then when you find what you need, you
can sign up for a subscription.
I can see this
product being of tremendous use to field sales and marketing personnel. Now
they can find just the right graphics for their presentations, proposals, and
web pages even when they are traveling away from the office. You no longer
need to drag your CD collection with you wherever you go because now it's all
virtual and available to you 24 hours a day via the Internet.
You can download the software right now by clicking here,
and take it for a test drive. Once you do, you'll never look back!
