# It's all vectors in photoshop.
Coloured using feathered selection tool, "brightness/contrast" and "selective colour".
(Mr Eraserhead Why aren't you a lemon?, Tue 15 May 2007, 16:32, archived)
# grrr it's not vectors ;)
it's selection with a pen tool and is more akin to cell shading technique.

# Don't apologise.
It's fantastic and besides, cell shading is an art. Vector tracing is erm, tracing.

# no we can't.
It's eactly the technique used to colour comic books. You make a selection, or 'frisket' in the trade, then you work on hat with colour and contrast. To have vectored it you would have to have created the whole image with shape layers. 90% of the supposed vector images here are actually crude forms of cell shading and have never been near a vector shape.

# i was agreeing with you, YOU FREAK!!!

i was saying, let's not call them vectors, as they're not
let's call them shapes instead...

# no
it's not.

(I helped save b3ta! Mockingbird Practitioner of SCIENCE, Tue 15 May 2007, 17:10, archived)
# Ah... but I did use shape layers (The little pen tool) to actually create the basic shapes.
And then I coloured each bit in using cell shading. So it is kindof a vector yes?
(Mr Eraserhead Why aren't you a lemon?, Tue 15 May 2007, 17:11, archived)
# no
vector refers to a way in which the software draws an image.

# Yes
It was a cream substitute type product, for putting on jelly and suchlike.
Probably made from cow stomachs and vegetable oil.
