It's amazing how far this program has come. :) Tony James, Speaking of vector imaging…I’ve been doing a lot of background work for the gaming world using Adobe Illustrator CS5.

I think 400DPI is just fine and 600DPI is a bit of overkill. That said, I did run into a situation once, where a publisher wanted a 600DPI file that I couldn't provide without re-scanning, re-coloring etc. That was enough to turn me a bit paranoid. If I didn't have separate storage for my files, I'd probably chance it by saving my stuff at 400DPI though. :) Tony I agree with you James.

I do most of my little doodles and smaller pieces @ 300dpi, but I tend to do my comic pages @ 400dpi. I have done 600dpi before but it seemed like overkill. Still, you make a good point. You never know what you're going to be doing with this stuff in the future. Too bad you can't sketch like mad directly into a nice vector image. Or can you?? Hey Tony!
