![]() With that said, rasterizing a layer isn’t a good way of editing non-destructively. Since it would be a permanent change, it’s not necessarily a good idea. After all, what if you change your mind and want to go back to your original vector?Īfter rasterizing a layer, this won’t be possible. Whenever you can, it’s far more advantageous to duplicate and rasterize your vector layers so you always have a backup.įor example, if I wanted to edit my shape layer directly, I would duplicate the layer and rasterize the duplicate. That way I have an option to change my mind later on or start all over if I make the wrong adjustment. In short, if you need to rasterize a layer to make a pixel-based adjustment, do so on a duplicate layer. – Rasterizing Layers Changes The Look Of Edges Does Rasterizing Reduce Quality?Īlthough you won’t technically lose any image quality from rasterizing a layer, there are some important changes to be aware of. When you first rasterize a layer, things won’t look all that different at first. The real difference comes when you zoom in. Although rasterizing a layer doesn’t necessarily reduce the quality, it does change how the edges of your text, layers, or shapes appear. ![]() In the example above you can how the edge of the shape is sharp and crisp in the first photo, but somewhat boxy looking in the second. ![]() This is the big difference between vector and raster layers.Īfter rasterizing, your image is converted into pixels and needs to fit within the parameters of the pixels in your document. – You Won’t Be Able To Rescale Without Quality Loss That’s why you end up with a pixelated looking edge when zoomed in. Leaving your layer as is won’t reduce its quality after it’s rasterized.
