i have two questions:
If you were just looking, would you be able to tell the difference between a vexel and a vector? Is one better than the other? |

aren't the two programs based on different grahpic types?
like photoshop is raster based and illustrator is vector based.. so a true vector is something that won't lose quality... vexel is produced in the same manner but is still a raster image because it gets pixelly after zooming in |

QUOTE(largosama @ Jan 31 2005, 7:40 PM) aren't the two programs based on different grahpic types? like photoshop is raster based and illustrator is vector based.. so a true vector is something that won't lose quality... vexel is produced in the same manner but is still a raster image because it gets pixelly after zooming in  Even if you use Illustrator to draw an actual vector, you usually have to use a .gif, .jpg, or .png format for the web as you would with Photoshop. But since you're saving them as a different file type either way, if you try to enlarge the image, both are going to be pixelly, regardless of whether it was done in Illustrator or Photoshop. Only the original Illustrator .ai file will look different from all the others but this is not what we, the viewers, see when someone posts up their "vector". We see the "compressed" version, not the original vector format. Vector rarely means "vector" anymore. Its been turned into a style, rather than a type of file. Throwing "vexel" into the mix only makes things more confusing. If you want to use the correct terminology, why not just call it a "vexel" a "raster" instead?  Eh, I hope that all makes sense. To sum it all up, either way, whether created in Photoshop or Illustrator, "vexel" or "vector", once saved for the web and posted for viewers' pleasure, you can't tell the difference or which program it was created in. |
