Finding the best image among so many can be a challenge. The best approach is to do an image search from within Paratext, searching by chapter reference or by keyword in multiple languages. Here&#8217;s how:<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Download and Unzip Image Files and Folders<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">Visit the SIL Illustration Samples folder as per the instructions at the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/illustrations\/illustration-topics\/sample-illustrations\/\">Sample Illustrations page<\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">Either browse within the appropriate language folder for the sets of images you want, and download those\u00a0OR\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">Download all images by right-clicking on the language folder and selecting Download.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">Note that these are low-resolution watermarked images.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent\">In all cases except for WBT image sets licensed under CC, the full-resolution originals are available only for bona fide typesetters, who will automatically substitute them for your sample images at typesetting time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unzip this collection to a folder within your Pictures folder.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This will ensure that the images are included in Windows\u2019 search index.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019d rather store these files in another location, add that folder to Windows\u2019 search indexing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elevenforum.com\/t\/add-or-remove-search-index-locations-in-windows-11.2966\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Here\u2019s<\/u><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent\"> how to add it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Troubleshooting: On some systems, the Windows Search Index might be able to return results for filenames but not for key terms, such as &#8220;sheep&#8221; or &#8220;LUK02&#8221;. This may be because it&#8217;s been somehow corrupted or misconfigured.\n<ul>\n<li>If you are unable to diagnose and correct the problem, one workaround is to open the File Explorer App, click on the &#8220;3 dots&#8221; menu (for More menu items), then click on Options to open the Folder Options dialog. Next, click on the Search tab. Finally, under the heading &#8220;When searching in non-indexed locations&#8221;, check the option for &#8220;Always search file names and contents&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Alternatively, you can explicitly search for key terms by prefixing them with &#8220;tags:&#8221;.
