Vector illustrations in Revolution

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Phil,

I've just completed a coloring book using Rev. The original artwork  
for it was actually drawn on paper. At some point the sketches were  
scanned and eventually after going through a number of metamorphoses  
ended up as jpgs. But I also cleaned up some of them with a drawing  
program called MacDraft, which is able to save in a number of  
different formats. MD is a vector program, so you could easily copy  
from whatever it is you're using now and paste the drawings into MD;  
then save as jpgs for use in Rev. With Rev. these may either be  
imported or pasted to individual cards. Once they are on the cards,  
you can use the paint bucket (brush) tool to paint areas with  
different colors. I don't use Illustrator, but I should think it  
would also be able to save as jpg files. No?
