Ask a supermod...

I'm that bored...

So... ever fancy a question to a mod/supermod that you've never asked? Well... here's your chance.

Ask anything. Ask everything.

All but private details. So no... you can't have my credit card, social security, license, passport, login, network password, nor boxer size...

And if I make you cry, then the truth wasn't what you wanted.

Yellow for the 'kit, reddish-orange because I got lazy and picked a second color that was darker and red-shifted via Photoshop's color picker.

Nice try though, Mr. "I live close to San Francisco"...

Matters on your program. If you mean via IE, then clear your cache perhaps... or use Firefox.

If you mean via Photoshop, then it's already rasterized.

If you mean via CorelDRAW, Flash or Illustrator, and you're working with an already vector art file and it's saving to bitmap *.eps or *.ai, save as an older version or disallow *.pdf previews if it's CS or higher. Saving at lower, legacy levels will help retain vector to vector meanwhile I've had some issues with vector being saved as a raster from Illustrator CS2 until I started saving as *.ai version 8 or so.

I hope that helps, because there's a lot of factors of why you're seeing what you're seeing.

I'm pretty sure he meant, why are people so stupid, that when you ask for art to be vector, they ask, "what's vector". You attempt to explain by saying "you know, like built in AI?". Invariably they proceed to place the raster file in Illustrator and save as.

How can you use Calculus of Variations in conjunction with Differential Geometry to create level sets of a curve in order to segment images?

oh... you forget. I'm a designer, never the client. If anything, I fix client problems; thus my answer. Which I pretty much can bet you already knew... which I thought was odd of you to ask.

And to fully answer you the first time... I feel your pain. The client does that stuff simply because they have zero clue to design other than they see the letters you asked for, send it to you, and then are amazed that you can't just hit that "Design" button that we all have in that program that they didn't install... somehow.

And to continuing "answering"... I see that you were totally correct and I was wrong. Feel free to wag your fingers, say "na-na-ne-ne-poo-poo" and rejoice.

I'll allow it this one time.

At least I'm honest. I said ask a supermod... not a supercomputer.

Ask me about psychotic women, and I'll probably conjure up an algorithm.

You have either:

A bladder infection
somehow sodomized the Human Torch
have an STD
your urea is somehow entering into some open wounds
or you like Frank Zappa more than I thought.
If none of the above... I'd suggest penicillin and/or a rubber mallet.

Great, thanks. Also, I have a follow-up: does this look infected?

I'd say ask the nearest person to you for a second opinion.
