Applying the concept of Images libraries (vector and bitmaps )

[capellan]

Hi Scott,

Many thanks for answering this request.

How do you handle the particular case,
where the same image is used in different
cards using varied ink effects and sizes?

Why is important sub-pixel positioning
and imge distortions?

Thanks in advance!
