Hi, Hope this is not a really stupid question
I am a little confused...
OK, I want to use exclusively screenprinting. I know I need to get artwork to the screenprinter in vector format. I have been using Freehand MX to create my designs.
But what happens if I have an effect I can't achieve in Freehand, can I import it from somewhere else, such as Photoshop and just save as a vector? I just want to be sure...
I am thinking of effects such as this

My question is really, is it only the end format that counts, or how you got there?
My main goal (obviously!) is to avoid a heap of extra artwork charges from the screenprinter when they discover they can't use what I have done... I am finding Freehand a little restrictive though, and it is the only vector based app I have available.
