| Searching the Image Gallery | |
|
|
| Once you have logged in, you will have the choice of three Search methods. You can also go to Search page from the navigation bar at the top of the page. | |
| Use the Look for box to define the specific details of your search. This can be the name of the artist, the title of the piece or words that describe concepts. You can use several words in the same search. | |
| The search engine is not case sensitive so it does not matter if you use uppercase or lowercase, or both. | |
| You can use the optional drop down menus for Artist Culture, Artistic field and Medium to further refine your search. | |
| If you leave the Look for box empty, your search will give you all the images of the selected type. | |

| Ordering and paying for reproduction rights and/or scans | |
|
|
| As you choose the images, place each item into My Quote Basket. You can do this by clicking on the shopping trolley icon or the Add to Basket button. | |
| You will be asked to choose whether you require the reproduction rights alone or whether you wish to order a scan as well. The reproduction details can be edited for each item in the My Quote Basket | |
| My Quote Basket shows all the items you have selected. You can remove an item from My Quote Basket at any time. | |
| When you want to proceed with obtaining a quote, click the Quote My Basket button | |
| If your proposed reproduction is a straightforward application such as a book or exhibition catalogue a quote will be provided online immediately. Some reproduction types such as merchandise or video require assessment by VISCOPY staff. | |
| Please contact the VISCOPY office on (+61 2) 9368 0933 to finalise your payment. | |
| When your payment has been received you will be granted licensing rights for the specific reproduction requested only. | |
| If you requested a high resolution scan it will be emailed to you within 7 days | |
| The My Requests page also records any orders that you have made but are yet to be paid. You can visit this page to reprint Tax Invoices and licence details. | |

| Lightboxes | |
|
|
| Lightboxes allow you to manage your images before you decide to submit a request for their use. The lightbox feature is popular with designers and advertising agencies and other users with diverse approval cycles and time critical workflows | |
| You can organise your selections into groups (lightboxes) and give each lightbox a name. You can create multiple lightboxes and add or remove items from each collection. | |
| Each lightbox can be emailed to other people for information, discussion or review. The recipients will not need a username and password to open the lightbox. When you are satisfied with your selection you can transfer the items to My Quote Basket. | |
