Bingo. That explains it -- thx!

For those times I need to end up with a JPG, I can do the convert to 8
bit. Just something I had not thought of. I guess I'm a little
surprised the JPG conversion doesn't just cover the 8 bit conversion as
part of it, along with compression settings, etc.

I'm very surprised jpegs can be saved with vector layers!

So was I, but a test proved it worked quite nicely.


What software did you use?

JPEG's can't be saved with a vector layer, or any other layer. A path is
not a layer, however. Photoshop can save paths in a JPEG.
