i don't know why but i find that working with vectors and bezier curves in painter is quite easy. also the 'convert to shape' effect is something i use all the time with good results. it is quite different than trace or streamline. but there is a problem that sometimes does occur with the conversion - horizontal linear artifacts. the attachment shows what i am talking about, the red arrows are pointing to some. strangely they have no nodes to manipulate or cut. they remain when shapes are converted to a layer also. i've had some success avoiding their development in the convert to shape process by first rotating my bitmap 45 degrees or so before selecting for shape conversion. has anyone else had the same experience?
thanks
