    I learned something new today. I always thought it was pronounced POE-sterize because originally posters were printed by pressing inked wooden blocks of letters or engravings onto paper. Each additional ink color on a poster required another pass through the printing press so you'd make your art just a few bold colors to save time and money.

    Hi! I had a bit of a problem with your Action. When I ran it, after the first Blend If and color selection (white) was completed, I hit OK...but a message came up saying: the command "Delete" is not currently available. Below it was "Stop" and "Continue". I tried this several times, and it never worked. Ultimately, I imported my image into Illustrator, did a 6-color Trace and Expand, and that's how I completed my project. Can you please let me know where I went wrong? Prior to this, your directions were fantastic - on target...until I tried vectorizing with the Action.

    If you have Adobe Illustrator you can skip all the steps of turning different layers into vector art. Import your image directly into Adobe Illustrator & choose a "Convert to Paths" preset that fits your needs (preset may need adjusting but make sure to save your adjustments as a new preset) then "convert to paths" & you're done.

    If you have an internet connection to download free stuff - this can be easily done in Inkscape (to trace and convert to actual vectors) and then do the same touch ups in GIMP (back to raster). Then slowly extend the middle fingers towards Adobe in real life. To use three different tools combined might feel cumbersome at first.
