it's saved as an image and not a vector file then it's no longer a vector. When they are posted here they are just jpeg images that have been produced using vector shapes. Like this simple line art inking I just did.

# Well the vector file is not an images file
it's just a placeholder for all the mathematical data. You have to save it as something other to use it as a web image. Tiff would be the absolute best quality file but you'd get raped for posting them ANYWHERE.

# surely it shouldn't be
if represented by a few primitives?
that being the point. i bet the illustrator/photoshop file is giant, but that's not the same thing. if it were to be saved as flash or svg, wouldn't it actually be quite wee?
