Hemerra stands for clarity - literally
And what better
label for a provider of digital image content? We chose to name ourselves after
the Greek goddess of Light (or Day), because light is the primal ingredient
of photography, and dictates the quality, and resolution, of each Hemerra image.
Because Hemerra image collection meets every standard of photographic and digital
quality, we believe we deserve to name ourselves after the essence of light.
And besides, H-E-M-E-R-R-A really isn't that hard to remember, is it?
Our
images are for graphics professionals, business users and everyone else with
creative needs. Our collection has all the popular image types, including stock
photos, clip art, illustrations, Photo Clip Art, and our signature image type,
the Hemerra Photo-Objects image.
Hemerra Image Express Subscription lets you search and download images for one low rate, instead of paying for each image separately. You can choose from two packages: Standard and Premium (which comes with the option to download some images in a higher resolution). Both packages are available for one month or one year. Subscription boosts creativity; buy the one that best suits your needs, and get total access to the images you subscribed to, for as long as your Subscription lasts.
Each Hemerra image is associated with several descriptive keywords. An image
of a woman with a soccer ball, e.g., will appear in your search results whether
you type "woman" or "soccer" in the Keyword field. Only
thumbnails assigned to the keyword(s) you type in the Keyword field will appear
in your search results. If you choose not to use the keyword window, you may
have to wade through hundreds of thumbnails to find the image you need.
Choose keywords that best describe the image(s) you are looking for. If you are searching for something as specific as a snowy owl (e.g.), type "owl" into the keyword window rather than "bird", a much broader term. Of course, the same Hemerra image will appear in your search results if you type "snowy" or "predator".
We assign keywords
to Hemerra images based on guidelines standardized by PACA (The Picture Agency
Council of America). Most nouns exist in our database in singular form. "Scissors"
appears in the plural thanks to common usage, but "cake", "dog",
"house" and "insect" (e.g.) should be typed in singular
form. Using "dog" in the singular doesn't restrict thumbnails from
containing images with one dog or many dogs. Acronyms such as "USA"
exist in our database without periods.
