Rasterizing Vectors

If you want to make pixel by pixel changes to your image, you might want to rasterize some vectors. This means turning them from vectors into pixels.

Rasterizing Vectors:

Step 1

Select the vector or vectors you want to rasterize.

Step 2

Select the Vectors > Rasterize Vector menu item.

Step 3

If you have more than one resolution, you can choose to rasterize the vector into all or just some of the resolutions (if the vector isn't rasterized at a resolution, it will still be visible as a vector at that resolution).

Step 4

Your vector has now been replaced by the equivalent pixels.

Note: Pixels are drawn in front of vectors, so if you rasterize a vector that is behind other vectors, the result will move in front of them. To avoid this, you can move the vector to a layer beneath the other vectors.
