Corel Gallery is a CD-ROM clip-art package produced by Corel Corporation. It contains roughly 10,000 vector-based clip-art images in a proprietary (.BMF) graphics format. Because the Corel Gallery package uses its own proprietary graphic format, the only way to access its pictures is to go through the viewer software provided on the CD-ROM.
