    Default Re: How to create a Glass, Aqua, or Vista Icons PI 12 or should I do it in Xara Xtrem

    If you don't know whether its a vector or bitmap application, why are you asking if you should draw in it. If you own and use PI 12 isn't the answer obvious? I don't use it, so I don't know ... but you should!

    If the answer was right there, or if it were only that simple to find out, the question would not have been posed.

    I like what PI has to offer in goodies, but Xtreme has better light effects which it looks to give graphics better lookin aqua/glass/vista lighting effects (although it takes more steps to perform a similar function in Xtreme than it would in PI, thanks to its outstanding library of effects that PI offers, but when it comes to the end result, Xara Xtreme looks to outshine PI when creating graphics, my conclusion is because Xara uses different lighting techniques than what is offered in PI), and Xara Xtreme lets you know that its a vector program. I am having a hard time trying to find out whether PI is a vector or bitmap program.

    If I am wrong about the lighting effects comparison between both applications, then would someone care to share on how they create stunning aqua graphics in PI ?

    Thanks for the info !!! I feel like I am getting double talk when I see - although PI is a bitmap program, it has vector graphic shapes.

    I like PI with the tools it has to offer, but I wish they would become a vector drawing tool along with giving the light and transparent effects needed to create an aqua/glass/vista graphics.

    I have no experience of ulead photoimpact

    However there are programs that are bitmap oriented with some vector tools, which I suspect this is
