Hi all,

I'm following this tutorial: http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/creating-a-stunning-digital-smoke-effect/

But trying to get it to work with CorelDraw and Paint Shop Pro (Which I only got yesterday, so I'm not too sure how everything works yet.)

To the best of my knowledge, paint shop pro won't allow vectors created in Draw to be pasted into PSP as a vector, and so always rasterizes them. This causes problems with the layers as each shape will have a white box around it.. which obviously doesn't look good.. I was wondering if anybody knew a way to get around this (can you "blend"- like the one in Draw (PSPs is different)) with vectors in PSP? Or can you save the vectors in Draw and Import them in PSP?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Foster,

Thank you for the reply to this topic. I've been trying to follow the same tutorial the original poster submitted, and ran into the same problem with importing vector graphics into Photopaint. I followed your directions (at least, to the best of my understanding) and the imported object was still a heavily pixelated raster object, not vector lines. As a result, following the rest of the tutorial, my output was a far cry from the sharp, cleanly gradiated work presented in the tutorial, even following all other instructions to the letter.

Any other thoughts on what might be the issue we're running into here? Are there settings somewhere for how objects are copied into Photopaint? The resample window that comes up when I try to copy the artwork in has no vector options at all.
