# Getting Started ## Searching for Images Navigate through our pillars—**Photos**, **Illustrations**, and **3D**—to explore our library. Use the search bar to find specific visuals and refine your results with powerful filters: ### **Color** Match your palette with precision directly from the search bar. Select a color from the palette, or copy-paste your hex-code.

Select the palette icon in the search bar to open the color search feature.

### **Filters** **Number of People** Need a group shot or solo focus? Select the **Number of people** filter from the **Tools and Effects** menu in the top left of the image grid. You can even filter out people entirely. **Lighting Style** You can also adjust to filter images by bright, dark, or neutral lighting from the tools and effects menu.

Select other filters from the Tools and Effects menu.
