I would say a definite, "It depends".  

If I decide to live for eternal things and "fix my eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen", and I live my life for eternal rewards, then that is commendable.  Rewards are definitely an incentive.  There is a reward in probably almost everything we choose to do in this life, and God certainly lets us know that He will give rewards for how we live here on earth (provided we trust Christ's atonement for our sins).

However, I can also seek eternal rewards with a corrupt heart, seeking to be seen and known as a spiritual person.  In that case, my reward is received here on earth by the acclaim I receive.  Matthew 6 speaks of this.  Giving is wonderful.  If you do it for God in secret, God rewards that.  If you give to the work of Christ and secretly harbor the desire to receive acclaim here on earth for it, then that is not commendable and would be considered a sin for having a heart attitude of pride.

Is it a sin to do "works" for the sake of "rewards" in heaven?

  Vectorization graphics approach  




Folks,
Photoshop newbie here with what I think is a simple question, but clearly, I am not searching for the right keywords on Google.

I have a hand-sketched pattern that I have scanned into a (bitmap) image. It is a crisp black and white image. I would like for a way to get Photoshop (or Illustrator) to detect the edges and extract paths from it, thereby converting it into a vector graphic.

Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

Thanks.
