^ What?...
A vector (in terms of what I think you're talking about) is an image based on a posterized raster image. Something similar to that is a "vexel" (which is actually just a word that someone in a message board I used to post at made up... haha). A vexel is like a vector, but it's made in a raster-based program (i.e. psp) instead. One difference between a vector and a vexel is that if you resize a vector, you'll see that it doesn't get all "pixelly," whereas a vexel does. I think I may have sidetracked. lmao |

I think you may have mixed up PSP & Photoshop in that statement, lol. Photoshop has vector layers... in fact, you can make a vector in photoshop then open it in illustrator, thereby making it a real vector. PSP has vector layers, too, but I think it's primarily a raster-based program. Is there a way to save all the vector layers in PSP in a format other than .psp without having the layers merged/rasterized? |
