Actually contains:
121,867 .PNG bitmap files
47,717 .SVG vector files
3 .PHP script files (in "Science and Technology")
1 .LNK Windows Shortcut file
Numerous folders for categorising the files

These add up to 19.8 GB (unzipped they take up 171GB on my system due to slack space).

Although the "part" folder names suggest 190,000 files there are in fact 169,654 files in 1,348 folders (many of which are empty)

Deleting 38,965 duplicate files (3,670 MB of them), zero-length files, .PHP scripts, the .LNK file and empty folders helps to reduce the size considerably

Parts 7-10 are still empty, 0 files, and many of the files in these sets are bitmaps not vectors (for example, photos of statues are not vector graphics)

FYI the part 7 folder which is supposed to contain 3000 SVG items is empty. Just felt you should know

Thank you for this great resource. It's reassuring to know that we don't have to download the content before the 24 hours expires, so long as we go through the motions and register within the time limit. I'm looking forward to exploring the enormous amount of material available. Thanks again.

The files are numbers 1-10, with 10 at the beginning. I started downloaded with the last one, which was #1. It took a long time but did finally downloaded. Within a couple downloads, there were network errors, and failed downloads. Restarting generally worked, even though some had to be restarted several times. When I got to number 7, it downloaded really quick, then the same for 8, 9, and 10. When I checked the contents, 7, 8, 9, 10 were empty Zip files.

Hopefully, later on, I can try and the files have some content.

I just went for the easy and bulk downloaded trough Google, took just over 25 minutes to download all 10 segments, will play around and see if much cop later, and probably add another comment.

I looked into the special offer $19.99 for everything and checked out all the stuff it provides. I don't remember it saying if you can upload your own graphics, photos or other artwork creations to use in the program offered. Can all the various parts of this program handle high-end graphic if we are allowed to upload them? It appears to cater more
to the rather bland business world and not so much the art world or am I missing something. I would like to start a business someday but my life span is getting shorter day by day. Finances being what they are I don't know if this is a wise move or will it end up 'collecting dust. I will say it looks great for most of the business world. What would you do???

The stockelementsfx.com site is being hit pretty hard today -- it was down / unreachable for me for a while -- so I only took a very quick look at what was available. While all the images appear to have been vector graphics initially, some are .svg vector graphics files, and many have been rasterized to the .png bitmap format -- the couple I downloaded were 346 x 500 pixels & 1000 x 665 pixels, both at 64 ppi with attributes = AI.

Most of the images you see on web pages are pixel-based, like photos, stored in files that record what every single pixel in the image should look like, its color and how light or dark it is. The larger the image the more pixels it contains the larger the file, and it gets more complicated because you also have bit depth or pixels per inch or dots per inch [for printing]. You'll usually see Vector graphics used for the illustrations in magazines, logos and type [type & the fonts you use are natively vector graphics]. Rather than individual pixels, a vector graphics file contains directions on how software should draw the image, e.g., draw a line from this point to that point, making the file much smaller and almost infinitely scalable -- the same vector image file can be used on a postage stamp or a billboard. Because vector graphics files are so much smaller than bitmap [pixel-based] files, and because they really are one size fits all, vector graphics have been extremely popular for clipart. While it is possible to create images that look like detailed artist's drawings, most of the vector graphics you'll see look like the much simpler clipart you're used to.

Creating / drawing vector graphics is very different than painting / drawing -- you create line end points, adjusting handles for those points to control the line's curvature. It tends to seem impossibly difficult for some, and easy peasy for others, so if you find the whole thing way too difficult you're not alone. That said, one advantage of working with a vector graphics file, e.g., the .svg files available in this package from Jasrati, is that unlike pixel-based images, you can open it in an app like the free Inkscape -- inkscape.org -- and edit the original image without Any quality loss. You can add or remove parts of the graphic, change colors, manipulate point handles to change shapes etc., which is easier than creating the graphic from scratch. Many image or photo editing apps can work with vector graphics to some extent, or you can use a vector graphics app like Inkscape to *Rasterize* the image, sort of taking a screen shot of what the graphic looks like to give you the pixel-based bitmap file a photo editing app works with natively [e.g., all the .png files that are also available].

Just noting some issues with previous stock image giveaways from this vendor... Many duplicate files, many file names give no indication of the image content, files are in an assortment of formats (i.e. inconsistent) , claimed file counts are inaccurate, many images are completely useless due to content/resolution.

How long is the license good for?

Thank you for this promotion offer.

But just a heads-up


The page from the textfile in the downloaded zip is very slow, you need to wait about a minute for the purchase page to load and another minute for the rightside of the purchase page to show 0$. It might first show 9.99$ but this should refresh to 0$.

Then after that you get an email with the actual download-page link but that link didn't work (error establishing database connection). The stockelementsfx website itself is very slow. I will try later. (maybe traffic issue?)

Again thanks!
