# I can't recall what I called it last week and
made Tom O Bedlam laugh. I'll have to go look.

edit:// oh yeah 'Vexel is another made up word
coined by people who finally admit they did not have a clue what a vector scalable image was but want to make it seem like what they do is something more than digitally assisted colouring book nonsense.'

# Oh you and your vector pedantry :D
I did some vector work last night on Corel Draw and was getting right narked at my curves going all "curly wurly the wrong way". I think that's the technical term?

# pfft.
you have to learn to keep the pen down ( or left mouse clicked ) as you place the point then drag the handle in the general direction of the line you are following. Curly wurly means you have the wrong handle going the wrong way. It gets easy after some practice.

And again, I don't get pissy about the pictures, just the words that people use to describe them. We need to have laws or we'll end up speaking French.!

# yeh - those bloody handles :D
Was just using for some design work I occasionally get shoved over my home desk - haven't fired up Corel Draw for yonks

# oh.. corel painter
I still have essentials. I like the idea of the palette.

# Essentials came
with my Wacom but I've never took it out of the box. I suppose I should do some time just to see the difference as I plan to do a few tutorials when I think I'm capable enough and it would help to know the limitations.

Mixer palette is really good for quick colour picks.

# I use the word "vexel", and I know what a vector is,
but yes, that's a pretty good statement.
