Hi
I dont use photoshop for vectors that much at all but i have just done a few and have found that even though I am creating vector shape layers i can still see pixels, is this right? i know photoshop is a raster program but i was under the impression vector shape layers worked like vectors. The same goes for when i copy and past layer from illsutrator into photoshop as smart objects, should i be able to see pixels?
thanks

Hi danfitchie,
It's just a function of how Photoshop renders the image to preview. It's not quite as sophisticated as a true vector program like Illustrator. Rest assured though, shape layers, or vector art, will render perfectly for printing.
Hope that helps
