vector?

alright its said that PS6 is vector based?, but when i make some image and make it a jpg.............its raster image again ? isnt it?
they why say vector??

also is there a tut around to see how the "gradients" window in (All the sliders in there) work function?

"vector-based" is what I've been told. still a raster application...

that part bugs me too.

But think about it like you're Adobe: if you include vector capabilities in Photoshop, who'se gonna buy Illustrator?

Photoshop is a raster program, overall. Photoshop 6 added new vector based type and shape tools.
