Groups are a great way to organize content for your lecture or course, or share a group using links. You can also download groups to PowerPoint for instant presentations.

Teaching and researching with images are better when you can view details, compare, and present to others

• Use fullscreen mode to seamlessly and fluidly display media while zooming, panning, and comparing
• Detail view allows you to interact closely with the media and view the full metadata record
• For lengthier presentations, you can also quickly download a group of up to 150 images to PowerPoint, each slide
• automatically accompanied by full metadata

Organizing your own image content with Artstor’s is a great way to enhance your research and teaching, allowing you to make the connections you want to, for yourself or for a wider group. Just upload, add to a group, and share.
