Description
Sorry i've resubmitted it because I thought it didn't make sense to have to download the file to view it and dA doesn't let you remove the preview image.This is a tutorial i've written that follows pretty much the same process as my previous tutorials but the result of this is an actual vector (i.e. scalable) not an imitation.
Again sorry about the resubmission but that was annoying me
Enjoy.

This is the first time I've heard about a clipping mask! How come no one told me before... Or maybe I should read tutorials instead of skimming them. Thanks a lot!

Nice Tutorial!
I've been looking for one for quite some time.
Nice to see you share your knowledge with us.
One gripe though. You haven't included the original Skyline image, so it's impossible to judge how the vector drawing looks different from the actual picture.
I hope you'll follow this up with one on how to execute the details, for example the ones on the rear wheel arch flap, or the pattern of the light besides the number plate, plus other methods of gradients and fills.
Hope you'll give a thought to those suggestions.
Looking forward to more tutorials from you, especially for newbies.
Thanks a lot!

You do need the pen tool to follow this tutorial and as far as i know, Elements doesn't have one. So no you can't follow this tutorial in Elements, and the tablet makes no difference.

so tell me if i'm gettin it right.. you are using gradients all over your vectors? ... because if you visit my page and see the skyline i made, i din use any gradients but i guess i should have, am i right? .. i'm new to vectoring so please correct me if i'm wrong..

I use a mixture of block colours and gradients. You don't have to follow the tutorial exactly though. This exact tutorial is for making real, scalable vectors. The skyline image you speak of doesn't look like it's actually vector.
Sorry, it's hard to explain. If you want to follow the tutorial then do so.

Just a note: as long as jpg's are raster-based, anything saved as a jpg will never be a true vector. So far only .pdf's, those weird macromedia files, and .svg files can actually display vector images that can be scaled to any resize without quality loss.
You can test this by zooming in 100x and seeing if the image gets pixelated as you do so.

The .psd you end up with from this is a vector, which you can scale to whatever size you need. Then, you have to raster it when you save it as a .jpg or .png or whatever for web use, but if you ever need it at a higher resolution you can still go back to the .psd and scale it up some more.

If it's vector, then why when you zoom in on it does it not stay crisp, but rather pixelate? Also, if it's vector, then what purpose does Adobe Illustrator serve?
Also:
"It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and, in addition to Adobe Acrobat, is one of the best-known pieces of software produced by Adobe Systems."
And, "While Photoshop is the industry standard image editing program for professional raster graphics, its relatively high suggested retail price. . ."
Nowhere was the word "vector" found in the Wikipedia article of Photoshop. If photoshop is vector, you should be able to flatten all your layers, then resize them infinitely. That means if I create something, shrink it to 10%, then resize it to 150% of the original image, it should look exactly the same. But it doesn't.
