that's a shame - must admit I haven't tried it myself, I just figured it was possible

I use Vector Inspector for open paths and such. Its free I think, don't have a link handy but google will find it. It installs as an Extension in your Window Menu.

Here I got the another tutorial about learning Illustrator very creative Dripping Text Effect in Illustrator.

I'm rather new to selling vector stock but have about 20 pieces in my portfolio as I try to feel my way into the business.

I'm trying to figure out what types of things will sell and what is just a waste to spend time on.

I sell a few things but just pennies now because I have so few images. The good images I create take time to make so it is a slow process building my portfolio. I want to be unique and find the small niches. I look through the vector sites and what is "popular" but I don't want to copy things, either.

My wish list is to figure out what will actually sell well. So my question is what do successful vector artists do to find out the trends and know what is useful to create? How did you get started in figuring out what sells?

I have been iStock exclusive for years, and when I'm now looking around a bit at the other sites (I'm soon back to independent) I've noticed that pretty much all of them seem to accept EPS10 now. Some sites maybe even require EPS10 instead of EPS8?

I'm a little confused. Should I go with EPS10 all the time, even if the file doesn't contain any transparency, or is it still a good idea to upload EPS8 if possible? How do you indies reason?

I have noticed two things:

1- Most members of this forum upload photos, no illustrations
2- The sales statistics are different if you sell photos or illustrations

So if I have in mind the general post in this forum I will not have a real perspective which are the best sites to sell vector illustrations

I currently uploading my work to SS and DT and i want to upload to more sites but i dont want to waste time with very low earning sites, so i want to ask to people with more time and experience selling vector illustrations which are the best sites to sell my work.
