Title: Vector and bitmap?
Post by: jennifer on September 23, 2010, 10:14:48 pm

         I"m working on enduro racer sideart, [and yes I will share it]. My intention is a vectorized background over a raster image. First off
is this possible, and how would it be done?

It is certainly possible, I am no expert but two things come to mind.  You could convert the bitmap to a vector art (many tutorials how to do this, just google, though that is a lot of work).  Or just combine the two files together, exporting the vector to pixel image.

           Combining the two files seems to be my only option, other than completly raster. I hope the printer doesn"t have a stroke
when he see"s what I bring him, Thx for the thinks!!!

most graphic programs dealing with vector allows you to embed bitmap images.
also photoshop allows you to have vector path
