USING THE PORTFOLIO:
Click on the shopping cart icon to add an image to your Portfolio. Your Portfolio can hold up to 50 images at a time.
When you are finished selecting images, go to the HOME tab, then select PORTFOLIO to view your Portfolio contents.
You may either download your selections by following the instructions above, or creating an eFolio.

CREATING AN eFOLIO:
An eFolio allows you to email Portfolio images to yourself, the art director, etc.
  1. Navigate to your Portfolio (under the HOME tab). Then select the PORTFOLIO tab, and choose eFOLIO. A new window will open.

  3. Click SEND, and your recipient can download Portfolio images via the emailed link.
The download link will be active for up to 14 days. If your eFolio expires, forward the eFolio email to us, and we can reactivate it for you.

SEARCH TIPS:
Include the year in the search field:
eg. War of the Worlds 2005 will exclude the radio show and the 1953 version,

Include the actor or actress name along with the title:
eg. Oceans Eleven George Clooney will bring up only George Clooney images from the film, Friends Jennifer Aniston will give you only Jennifer Aniston on Friends

Include the director's name:
eg. Spider-Man Sam Raimi

Use quotes:
eg. "Hugh Grant" to search for exact phrases

Use multiple names to find people together:
eg. Humphrey Bogart Lauren Bacall will only bring up images of Bogart and Bacall together

Certain common words and phrases are not searchable (to, at, and, the, have, etc.)
eg. The title "To Be or not To Be" is not searchable. In this case, you could use the name of the director and the year (Ernst Lubitsch 1942) or the actor (Jack Benny 1942, Carole Lombard 1942, etc.)
