Now, if you're working along with me, you may notice some onscreen idiosyncrasies, such as these white lines or whatever they are over here next to the gas cap as well as next to the rear door and underneath both of the wheels. Now, if you zoom in, then some of those problems may go away and others may become worse, but they're not really there. And to demonstrate what I'm talking about, I went to the file menu, chose export, and then chose export as and exported this as a TIFF image, which I will now open up inside Photoshop. And you can see that everything is looking super smooth, with none of those white lines whatsoever. And with any luck, that should be the way it prints as well. All right, I'm going to switch…
