Daniel,

What is your sequence?

First program/file type and then next, next? I.E. Illistrator/Ai at 4-8 times size, then shrink as ai to correct size, then convert to bmp??? Or start out in Corel 10 at 4-8 size, etc, etc.

And if you use Illistrator to start with, do you first import a button/graphic from another program/file?

He designs everything from vector-based graphics and applies shading there as well.

Is it Adobe Illistrator and is it exported to a bmp from there as well?

Just trying to be sure I "fully" get it. Thanks for the patience.

I think I can handle all the other things I want to do, but making the small text readable has been a nightmare.

I have Adobe Illistrator 7.0 but have not used it very much.

I believe he used to use Corel Paint or some other Corel piece of software. Not sure if Corel was purchased by Adobe.

I have Corel Paint 9 and I just re-installed it.

Anyone know if ver 10 makes any difference?
