May 7, 2012 - Hi,I'm a photoshop guy and losing the will to live here, not your fault as i've followed ur PS tut's including your pen tool in PS with great results. My Q is..if i have PS..do i really need illustrator? When traceing in PS and i flatten the image i know i am then rasterizing the final file, is there anyway in PS to keep the final output vector?..or have i answered my own Q ie only illustrator outputs vectors..ps i have a copy of illust' that i havnt even installed yet do i need it for vectors

Apr 6, 2012 - THANKS from someone who has been wielding the pen tool for about 15 years but who, until watching your tutorial, had never really understood the secret life of tangent handles: why they go off on their own little tangents, as it were, and how to make them behave.
