Fake vexels/vectors are horrible, I despise them.

Some people do them to make people think that they did a REAL vexel, but you can tell the difference between a real vexel and a fake vexel.

I don't have the patience, nor the tools, to make a vector/vexel.... So I tend to run either the posterize filter or the cutout filter to achive a similar effect which I usually cover in other images aswell.... You can't exactly tell that I ran the filter in the first place. -shrug- If you do it correctly it'll look okay. But they are no comparison to actual vectors/vexels.... ^_^u Damn, that's long.

And yes, I think fake vectors/vexels are ugly. |

I can't do either. Elements has no pen tool...
And I do realize it makes me look lazy, but I can't afford to spend 12+ hours on somthing like that, nor do I have the resources. Besides, the way I used it was to make one particular object stand out... I didn't actually want a vexel, just the look because it's so simplified. |

Besides, the way I used it was to make one particular object stand out... I didn't actually want a vexel, just the look because it's so simplified. It's hard to do with Elements, so therefore, I can't. I've tried by using the polygoon lasso tool, but it comes out with rough edges. Anyways, I can't tell the difference between Vectors & Vexels, but I can definetely tell the difference between fake ones. Fake ones looks bad if you can tell they're fake. |

I don't like them. They make you look lazy and lower your credibility. If you're going to bother to make a vector at all, it better be real. You're just passing yours off as a "vector" when you really just used a filter or overlayed colors, while other people who make real vectors work hard on it.

And fake vexels/vectors look nothing like the real thing. They look pretty bad, actually. =\ |

So a vexel is made in Photoshop and a vector is in Image Ready. What about Paint Shop? Is the distinction having anything to do with a vector or a raster layer?
Maybe I'll get up the guts to try one, LOL |
