RedCard Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi, I have a question about the effects you apply with brushes and such on the pixel persona section. If I create a vector design and then move to the pixel persona to add textures and retouch it using raster brushes, how will the design scale when I import it to PDF, SVG or any other vector formats? I was wondering if the effects I applied with with the raster brushes will pixelate while the vector design underneath will not. Is that a standard practice? I think with Illustrator you don't have that option, so all the designs are full vectorial. Could someone shed some light on this topic? It is something that really confuses me and I don't know if I should use the pixel persona when I am asked for a vector design. Thanks a lot for your help!

GarryP Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the forums @RedCard The short answer is: If you need everything in a design to be vectors then don’t use the Pixel Persona to edit anything in that design. The Pixel Persona will rasterise any layer you edit with it, and once that layer is rasterised it will not scale as nicely as a vector layer. There could be some exceptions - people may give them later - but, to be safe, only use the Pixel Persona if you aren't bothered about things getting rasterised.

Hi GarryP, Thanks a lot for your answer, then the situation is actually how I imagined. I will have to find more brushes and vector textures then. Have a nice day!
