Re: illustrator + bitmap fill
The answer to your question is just about yes, but is it convincing no. Would I use it instead of the bitmap fills in Xara, No. Bit maps are not the strong point of Illy but vectors and the print medium is for I would always check the output and colours of an Xara PDF in AI before I would send it for printing. It is in just the last release that Flash can really be used with Illy which will give it a better tool to use for web design it was OK before for headers and small animations but now with the integration with Flash it should be a better tool to use.
A quick resume' of AI abilities with bitmaps can be read here (around the middle of the article): http://thephotofinishes.com/adillustratorcs2.htm
Design is thinking made visual.
