Wow Atom, I really appreciate the help man. I plan on working on that tonight to see if I understand just what your saying. I am having a hard time understanding a word of that, but I'm hoping that if I treat it like a tutorial that I'll be able to understand it better. Your definitely right that the CS is by far the smoothest, so I guess vector is what I'm gonna try working on.
One question I have is, since vector is so much crisper / smoother would you recommend working on site designs and such in vector format? Also, what about if the background is part of the picture (IE: banner) and I want to do a neat look such as:
http://www.crystalballdev.com/dev/header.php. Would using vector format be the way to make that stream of "light" behind the text leading the to crystal ball look better? As it looks pretty nasty >.<
Again, I really appreciate your help, and I apologize for being a noob.
