In particular the stuff by Jacob Blackmon. I've got a bunch of them because they are a) cheap ($1.95 normally) b) very good quality and c) often on sale for half price.
However, rather than every other stock art I've bought, they don't come as image files, they come as PDFs. So you have to copy and paste them into your image program to actually get a usable file.
This works for the color pieces. But most of them also have black & white and line art versions (which is very nice, Purple Duck also does this) which are the ones I want to use. However, when I copy and paste them from the PDF into my image program (I'm using Paint Shop Pro which is way old but I know how to use it) instead of a b&w image on a white background (as shown in the PDF), I get the image but on a black background with a lot of noise in the black background.
Which isn't very usable. So I've been just taking a screenshot of the PDF and using that, which works, but it's like half the resolution.
Anyone have a similar experience with the art? Is it my image program? I suppose I should learn how to use GIMP, but PSP has served me for close to 15 years
