i think pen tool is in photoshop too but im not sure, cuz ps wont boot for me anymore, so i use imageready.

Using the Pen Tool

In illustrator is a tool called the pen tool, which is located on the toolbar; third one down on the left.

so im wonderin if imageready & illustrator are the same thing..
i jus learned this vectoring thing today - and i used adobe photoshop.. is it better to use illustrator? [if so, why?]

no they are not the same thing imageready is used for animations and illustrator is for the illustrations/vectors.... designs etc. Use illustrator if you want to make a vector.

because photoshop is a rasterbased prog, so you can make vexels.

vectors, which are images that are represented by collections of independent line and shape objects which are typically defined by mathematical formulas, can be resized without being distorted, as opposted to vexels, which do.

vector progs: adobe illustrator, coreldraw, autocad.

...there's tons of posts here comparing vexels with vectors. everything i just said on this post can be found on google.com and has been repeated many a times on this forum ;\ hopefully it will not be repeated again ;o

thanks for explaining it so clearly...

umm ok i dint quite understand but when u make those lil vector thingies [whenu trace] it makes a new layer that isnt rasterized, but if u try to blur it or somn it asks u to rasterize it.

i still find photoshop a bit more easier to use... o_O
