vector crop tool how does it work

[yggdr4s17]

As the tittle says, how does the vector tool woks apparently I am too stupid to use it in photoshop and other software you select the thing you want hit enter, and it's cropped… what kind of rocket science do I have to perform here to make it work? Why does my canvas not change to the cropped part, i really hope you are not going to tell me to go to document setup and change detentions there by guessing

i assume I found out how, but why do i have to rasterize it before it works? Is that because of the grouped image I have, and it only shows me the part I want, but the entire image still exists?

And what is re reason the quality of the picture is so bad in photo?

AD's Vector Crop tool is by design non-destructive, meaning it does not delete anything so a vector crop can be resized at any time by dragging on its handles without destroying any part of the cropped item. Rasterizing an item converts it to a pixel (bitmap) object; Rasterize & Trim trims (removes) any off-canvas content.

AP always shows the pixel (bitmap) view of the document so you can see its individual pixels when you zoom in enough, leading to that stairs-stepped' look. AD has multiple Viewing options, including vector & several pixel viewing modes so depending on which one you choose it will look different than AP.

so that would mean that both images when saved would be same quality then? Because AP does make it instantly a pixel layer and with AD I do have to convert it to one?

AP does not make a vector object or vector shape into a pixel one (IOW, does not rasterize it) at all; it just cannot not display that it is vector based. So for example, if you create draw with the Pen tool in AP (where it will look pixelated) & then use File > Edit in Designer to open it in that app, it will not look pixelated unless you change the view mode in AD to one of the pixel view modes. 

EDIT: to see what I mean, open this Not really pixelated.afphoto example in AP. Looks very pixelated, right? But use File > Edit in Designer... to view it there, making sure View > View Mode is set to "Vector." If you want, try switching the view mode to Pixel or Pixels Retina to compare what you see in each of those modes.

Looks like my lack of knowledge is really the problem here😅
