Also make sure you put the "preview" field to NONE. If it's on TIFF it adds a bit of weight to the file |

A great way to get that same effect is to use Blend, learn about that and use it. It's a fantastic way to get around the transparency issue. |

Ok, I've finally got back home and got my hands on those vectors again. This time without transparency. EPS file size dropped to ~300 kb. Is it ready to upload? :) |

Again, thank you for your compliments and advice. Good that you pointed out checking for open paths. I'll do that as soon as I get back home from work and upload it for review. Can't wait to see how it turns out! |

Thanks, princesszelda :) and, actually, I am!
I'm drawing this mug. It's not finished yet. How should I color it? I tried drawing a shape over it with a solid color and overlaying but it rasterizes when I try to save as eps8. Any suggestions? Or there is no other way than redoing all the gradiens with desired color. |

Hi,
Nice illustration.
I think you will have to redo the gradients. Unless anyone else knows a quick way.

Thanks.
That's a pity. It would be much more time consuming to make it as accurate as the original BW version because I'm planning to put mugs with different colors in one vector. |

I know. I have some that I did which have different colours but did each one individually.
