Copying an ESGI Stock Image and Adding an image from your computer to My Library
Copying an ESGI Stock Image to My Library
1. Click Test Explorer
2. Click Image Gallery under Related Tools
3. Select Image Gallery
4. Enter a keyword in the search field to quickly find an image or click "ESGI Stock".
5. Once in the ESGI Stock Library, either enter a keyword in the search field to quickly find an image, or click a subfolder to view available images. Our stock images now include additional tags, so instead of just being able to search an image by its exact name, certain descriptor words can also be used. For example, to locate an image of a turtle, you can search by ‘turtle’, ‘animal’, or ‘nature’.
6. Click on an image. To copy it into your Library without placing it into a Folder, click “Save.” To copy it to an existing folder or a new one, click the drop down arrow for “My Library”, choose the folder, or “+Add new folder”. When done, click “Save”.
In addition, when you are viewing a stock image, you may select one of its tags to locate more images with that descriptor. Anything with that exact tag (case sensitive) will return in the results.
