Regarding the buzz about my stating that all the world should use Illustrator, you misconstrued... all I am saying is, why do we have to stay in the dark ages with our work because of a software that cannot keep up? Personally I like software that works and doesn't cause problems for my customers, and I like to use the newest and best so I can continue to evolve my style and use all of the tools that are available for me to use.

Stacey, CorelDraw has transparency/opacity for ages. It is Adobe who in this particular case invents 'hot water' again. Also, they did it the best way they could... With quite different approach and not compatible to Corel's way. Industry standard is one thing but that depends on where you are living on this planet.
Standard in publishing is Adobe due to Apple machines which most of publishers have. On Mac there was lost battle for Corel's software. That is why Illustrator is 'industry standard'. If somehow there wasn't Apple machines and that they was PC's then You'd think quite lot differently. You'd have all Corel's software except maybe photoshop because it is the best image manipulation software what we all must admit. Unlikely to Illustrator or CorelDraw which are bugged both on their ways... But, IMHO CorelDraw has less bugs and is more user friendly than Illustrator - it may be bias due to that my first steps was with Corel software and I am kind of used to it. I know to work in Corel Photo Paint too ;-)
If you didn't know I use CorelDraw due to it is precise and easy to create, change size of design(s) and to print. All printers I've worked with have their own copies of CorelDraw and it was normal to bring CDR files to them for fast and correct prints. If I brought them PDF or AI files - they'd look at me like I am from some other planet ;-) It has changed now because they have about 30% of PDF or AI files and they bought Adobe software to be able to open files.
Regarding Adobe Illustrator, it has quite different User Interface logic as well it is bugged and you must learn to work through that bugs. Not to mention stupid double clicking and similar functions!
I mostly do all my stuff in CorelDraw and then just tweak them for export from AI - just to get sure that I managed compatibility. |

I'm used the Corel 7 years and then I'm working in the Illustrator over 8 years. I will never go back to Corel. There are many reasons. But what a bother me - EPS - is Adobe format, and Corel Can not or May not want to bring their filters to that standard. Therefore creates a mistaken sense that an EPS is also suitable for Corel. |

I would guess "cannot"; I really wish the actual vector standard (SVG) were really treated like a standard(and required to be used), so that this monopolizing would stop. monopoly is dangerous and bad for business. as it is, SVG's aren't popular and aren't very well-developed precisely because sticking EPS and AI makes Adobe, the market leader, a bigger profit
It's the very same tactic Microsoft is using when they try to pass their own formats as standards :-( |

Just wanted to give my two pence worth. I'm so pleased about these changes. I had so many vectors that I could only submit as jpegs as they were over 5mb. Now I'm busy going through all my vectors that were to big and submitting them.
Thank you SS for making my life so much easier :) |

First, you are in a wrong place. The title of this topic is "New Vector Submission Requirements" as you see. Second - a vector must be draw in a vector design software such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, then saved as .eps 8 or .eps 10. If you are saving a jpeg as eps you will have just an eps containing a raster image, not a vector. |

When I add the keyword EPS10 or eps10 the first language control refuses it for mispelling. What shall I do? |

In the first weeks when the new submission requirements has aired, I uploaded a few illustrations containing blurs. Actually I had been experimenting with what is and what isn't allowed when using EPS 10. The same type of blurs now get rejected stating - Blurs will get rasterized when translating into other softwares. Or something like that.
I'd like to ask if you guys have discovered this later and no blurs are allowed from now on?
Or have those entered by mistake, because blurs weren't allowed at all?
Or, is there any difference in what type of blurs will and what won't get allowed?
Thank you. |

Just ignore it and click on the submit button. It happens every time you put eps10 in the keywords. |

In both types of EPS is transferred to the screen blur. Such work is then dismissed. |

Hi to all. I have a question concerning Illustrator CS3. Are vectors done with this Illustrator series accepted at SS?
Thanks |
