The thing about custom artwork (FAQ & rant)

Yeah, once it "clicks" Illustrator is pretty darn cool. I was constantly making the mistake of thinking I had to make complex shapes all in one swoop. Taking little chunks at a time and tweaking put so much of the process into perspective.

Lately I've been forcing myself to stick to Photoshop only, and doing my vector work there. I never relied on Illustrator's auto-trace anyway, and I can get the pretty much the same results for most things. Though there are a few things I dislike about PS's vector support, but for the most part it gets the job done.
Sometimes it's just better to keep to one package, rather than having to deal with smart-layers and jumping back and forth between software, especially if I don't need anything too complicated that PS's vectors can't do.

You sound like my brother. I am more of a "chocolate-out-of-my-peanut butter" person and like to keep em separate. Vector support has gotten way better in PS, and I am probably gonna have to switch if I want to delve into the Photoshop 3d functions.

And honestly, if someone pulled that one on me, I'd probably double charge them for the first attempt in addition to the fresh-start attempt. Either that, or cancel the commission. Life's too short to deal with people who don't value other people's time.

I cancelled that one, but it sucked hours of my life I'll never get back.


As for illustrator and photoshop..... I tend to use photoshop for almost everything. occasionally I'll have to make something in Illustrator, then bring it in as a smart object but thats few and far between. Getting a good digitizer is a god send.

SNAAKE:
which one of you quit tho?

because lately Ive been getting some emails/inquires lol..maybe because of weather getting better and people trying to finish up their cabinets :cheers:

opt2not:
Yeah I've been getting a bunch as well. Must be the weather.

Had to turn a couple boneheads down though. These guys expected a $50 price on a 8 hour (minimum) job...  :banghead:
