Rasterizing

Rasterizing

Shape, Line, and Text layers can be rasterized to create raster layers. This "flattening" operation can be performed manually or automatically (when applying filters or retouch brushes).

Rasterization is only a requirement if the appearance of complex vector gradients or effects need to be honored, particularly for print artwork.

To rasterize a shape, line or text layer:
  • On the Layers panel, -click a layer and select Rasterize.
