Did You Know..?
| In Photoshop, just because you have used the pen tool to create something, it does not necessarily mean it is a vector. The pen tool has two options in this respect, which are called "Shape layers" and "Paths". If you are using the shape layers setting, you are indeed making vector shapes, if you're using the paths setting, you are making raster layers, which are made out of pixels and do not have the vector qualities of scalability. If you are unsure whether you're making vector shapes or layers, here are three simple ways to tell the difference while you're working: 1. Look at the pen tool setting - is it set to shapes, or is it set to paths? Hover over the selected icon to find out. 2. Resize your picture to about 50-100 pixels across - make it really small. Then resize it again back to its originial size. If the quality has been damaged in any way, you are not using vector shapes. 3. Start a new path. Does it automatically create a new shape layer or are you still working on the layer you previously had selected? If it is the latter, you are not working with vector shape layers. Lastly, if you merge any layers or add any Photoshop filters, your image will no longer be a vector. You can use layer effects such as 'gradient overlay' and 'stroke' which you find in the FX menu beneath your list of layers. Why? These will scale along with the vector shapes, but filters (noise, lens flare, texture) will not. Here endeth the lesson! |
