A great resource for
LDS Clipart that most people don't know how to use is the Church's online
Magazines. Here is a step-by-step list of instructions on how to do a
search for pictures. In this example I am using "resurrection"
as the search term:
NOTE: Click on
the images to enlarge them.
 Go
to http://library.lds.org/
- Click on the tab
that says, "Advanced Search"
- In the "Search
in..." box click the arrow and select: Friend
- In the "containing
ALL these words" box* type: resurrection
*Note: for searches
of two or more words, such as "Family History" use the "containing
these words near each other" box and change the box below that
from "within 10 words" to "within 5 words".
In the "containing this exact phrase" box type: click to view
larger format (this is the phrase that is used in the Church Magazines
whenever they use images that can be clicked on to see the enlarged
format, so typing this in will search for documents with pictures.)
-
Now click the search button. When the search is complete click the tab
at the top that says, "Content & Results" (this way the
screen is split in two, the document shows at the top and the search
you did is at the bottom, making it easier to click on the links and
see each one with out having to go back and forth between the tabs.)
- The first search
that comes up is, "The
Atonement and the Resurrection" click on it, and you'll see
an article about the last month of the Savior's life with a detailed
map of the entire city of Jerusalem near the bottom. Click on the map
to enlarge the image.
-
 To
save the image right click over it with your mouse and chose (in Internet
Explorer) "Save Picture As"
- To save the link
to the article to be able to find it later you can either copy/paste
the link into a document, or save it as a bookmark in your favorites.
To do this go to the column on the left hand side, find the name of
the article, in this case "The Atonement and the Resurrection"
right click on it with your mouse, here you choose either "Copy
Shortcut" (to then paste into a document) or "Add to Favorites"
to save as a bookmark.
Note: When you reopen the file it will not be in the frames with
the search tabs, it will just be the document on it's own. To see what
I mean click this link, "The
Atonement and the Resurrection".
 If
you look back at the list of searched items (in the frame at the bottom)
you'll see that number four, "Sharing
Time: Savior and Redeemer" has a great picture of the Savior.
- Continue browsing
through the documents to find ones that have pictures you're interested
in. Number 14, "Our
Savior and Redeemer" has a few pictures.
- Another thing to
try is to search through the Liahona, New Era, or Ensign magazines
instead of just the Friend and you'll sometimes find great pictures
as well. Obviously you can search through all the magazines at once
but for me I find it's a little easier if I search one magazine at a
time.
For example I did the same search above but in step three I chose Liahona
instead of Friend.
The third search to come up was, "Flannel
Board Color Page: He is Risen" which has five images about
the resurrection, such as the tomb, the guard, the stone, etc.
One problem with some
images is that they are grouped together (four images on one sheet) and
they are sometimes facing sideways so you will need to divide up the images
and turn them right-side up.
If you need help doing
any of this or have any questions just send me an email to lds.guide@about.com
and I'll help
you out! If enough people need help with how to fix up images I'll type
up instructions and post them here.
