Hello Chipp!

@You : "...I believe Concepts draws raster images which are faster (and then Concept stores the stroke path in the db as a vector if needed later)..."

Exactly! :)

In fact I really like Concepts just for its superior render quality, for how its vector drawing are rendered.

@You : "...It's one of the reasons Concept's export to vectors does not look like the original drawing..."

Exactly again :)

If you export in PDF using "Vector path" option, the output is a "simplified" version. It retains only the "path" information and not the "rendering" information.
If you instead export in any other ways, also in PDF but "flattened", what you get is what you see.

But, this is not a problem for me because I use "Concepts" for "design and digital art" purposes and not for technical or engineering things.

Anyway, Concepts is a superb app if you need that kind of things.

But I must say that I want to thank you for introducing me to the very useful "neu.notes+".

I really like some of its features like "stamps" and how it handle the texts.

Thanks.

Ciao!
