Do you use Photoshop or Illustrator? Or something else?

Why the hell isn't there a History window in Illustrator?

I could have sworn that there was a history window in illustrator...
but then agian I remember many things that frustrated me about that program.
Oh well, I use PS and flash anyway...

I see...I use Photoshop for traces, but people keep telling me Illustrator is just so much better. I find it "uncomfortable" to use, and I especially hate how your only option to go back is "Undo".

I use photoshop for traces too...
It takes me forever to get smooth lines in illustrator, photoshop's pen tool is much easier to handle in my opinion.

Illustrator for the trace, Photoshop to composite it.

I've never really noticed the lack of history. Due to the nature of vector stuff, there's really not a lot that can be considered a destructive edit. I don't know that you really need one that much.

The pen in photoshop and illustrator is the exact same beast, and the way that paths are implemented in Photoshop is clumsy to boot. Seriously, if you're finding Photoshop easier then you're not doing it right. A dedicated vector graphics program is always going to be better at vector graphics than a raster program with some vector support tacked on.

You're right, I was totally doing it wrong.
I went and played around with it for a while after I posted>>171811
and I finally figured out how to use it properly.
I couldn't figure out how to work the control handles at first, so all my lines were jagged and curveless but I've just about got the hang of it now
...need a little more practice still, but at least I'm on the right track.
>> ~Caine
>>171843
your right, but I find flashes built in pen utilities work much faster.
However, I do use illustrator for technical layouts and diagrams. Flash for art.
Most of the stuff I port into 3d studio max, and the resource demand is whoah high on those, and illustrator (at least the version I have, 9) demands alot more resources than flash.

Ctrl z goes back in history in illustrator. To go forward from going back it's some combination of shift ctrl z or alt I forget exactly.

I could have sworn it was ctrl+y but its been a while.
>> NegativeZero !b7g0lwC/7.

The highest res is something to the tune of 800x600 from memory. I have no idea where I stashed it.
