my first illustrator drawing

First off, all of you graphic artists out there how can I save in illustrator and have tohe color look the same. This car was bright red and looked 100 times better than it does now. How do i save it correctly? What does everyone think? I can do a lot with the paint (colors, designs) if I knew how to save it and have it show up right.

adobe makes both photoshop and illustrator. These programs can be bought or downloaded. Photoshop is very simple to use but illustrator its a lot more complex. I have been working in photoshop for a long time and just recently started with illutrator. There are both great programs.

You can import the AI file into photoshop, flatten it, and then save it as a jpeg or tiff or whatever you want. Photoshop, Illustrator, ImageReady, Indesign = $1000 dollars. I got them for free from a friend of mine but I need them (graphic designer). I also have Quark Xpress, Premiere, and Golive. Anyone who wants them PM me (they are the mac versions but are all new).

DO NOT DISCUSS THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS SOFTWARE. If you're gonna do it, do it through Email.

It's VERY illegal.

Every one on this site has paid for it. *cough*. I know I did. *cough,cough*.
