| Sherlock's Pictures channel enables you to search for pictures of people, places, and things. You can use these pictures for a variety of things, such as writing school reports, building Web pages,or creating advertising campaigns. Note As this book went to press, Sherlock's Pictures channel was still unavailable. As a result, the information on these two pages is based on the Pictures Channel as it worked with Sherlock in Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. The revised versions of these pages will be available for download on this book's companion Web site, www.langerbooks.com/macosquickstart/ when they can be written.
Tip To search for pictures 1. | Open the Pictures channel (Figure 12). Figure 12. Sherlock's Pictures channel.
| 2. | Enter a search word or phrase in the Picture Topic or Description box near the top of the window. | 3. | Click the magnifying glass button to begin the search. | 4. | After a moment, the matches begin to appear as thumbnail images. You can begin working with matches immediately or wait until Sherlock has finished searching (Figure 13). Figure 13. A search using the word cowboy results in pictures of cowboys (of all ages).
