Vector Objects

Layers and Vector Objects:
In vector layers, we can only use vector objects: curves, lines and text. The objects and vector text consist of geometric features: lines, curves and their locations. When editing vector objects and text, edited these lines and curves, not individual pixels.
Neither graphics or text vector lose clarity or detail when it changes size or printed at a different resolution.
And this is what makes them so interesting. One day we will create images, vector graphics layered our ... is a new dimension of graphics and especially the PSP.
Many, hated, loved and others not exaggerating one iota confess I love them madly ... the vector is .. Re tool and touch ... mm m .... finally, we'll get to that, we now easily initiate you okay?
Learn to create our first forms and use vector layers:
1 º Open an image 250/250 px. Let the text tool and choose a font that we like very much. I use this with this configuration:
![]()
And I chose a color background that I like much
# CC3300
2 ° Let's see what happens in the layers palette you?:

a vector layer was created and also has a + sign next to it. This means that if you click on it will open and show us a binder with the text object, line ... we have applied:

When we have several vector layers, we can see that view the text of one of them, in bold will mean that the sublayer is selected.
3 ° We cut the excess canvas so that when you save it does not take more than necessary.
* Note: A funny thing happened with the PSP7, is that when creating forms with fonts, to make them work smoothly, the font had to be installed. The first fonts I've created, so happy .. disappeared, having been created with fonts not installed on your system had. New versions of the program have an option that saves this scare
In the Layers palette and click on the sub menu that drops down, convert to path:

Now we can save our firm as a way even without the font installed. If our image has a background layer, we can delete:


We name the firm and accept.

The image we have as we delete from our firm will now always on hand in predefined ways.
Apply Forms
The extent of shape files is. Jsl (PSP 7.04) and and when we installed the program and creates a default folder where they will be keeping all the ways we think, or that we put there, if the network went down, or are in a tutorial.

1, Open a transparent image 300/300. We put a psp image that we like to create a signature look for the icon:
Click on the arrow:

Palette and settings:

We looked. The process is the same as we used for brushes and seals / tubes, you can view all or by category, as well as storage.
![]()
- * Retain Retain style = style. (You will have the same color, same size, so that when we ..)
- * Create as vector = We create a vector layer, so you do not mind adding a new one before applying.
- * Anti-alias = Smooth edges. I usually have it always on. You know, I do not like the edges

And how to apply our firm:

2 ° The really great thing to use vector, is that although we put a small size, apply now, we can make it bigger or smaller, put in diagonal, etc. .. without suffering deformation and therefore have to use the mask or accentuate Focus:

If we lose the choice to change, just click on the icon:
and then in the image.
3 ° That if, while vector layer still OK? The counter is that being vector ningúntipo not support effects. None. To this end, once and this to our liking, we convert to raster layer and we can do this in two ways: Click, this time not in the binder, but also in the vector layer and on the menu, Convert to Layer plot:

Becomes an ordinary coat and ready to apply the effects you want.

Or we can do it this way: Selections / From Vector Object:

Selections / Promote Selection to Layer:

See how the selection is made in one layer, without thereby the vector is gone. It gives us the advantage that we can now work and apply effects and if necessary, we still have the vector to avoid having to repeat it. Maybe now in a job so simple, we do not see this benefit, but there are times when we can appreciate its true value ![]()

Hide the vector layer to not confuse and apply the appropriate purposes as ever.
4 ° When you save, you can delete, or store it in psp format, leave it as another option over the image if one day I necesitásemos. If you keep the image with vector layers, you may leave a message

Press yes, but says that may not save, usually does. I take it off because I still have the predefined shape ![]()
As I'll be imagining .. if you can create forms, with fonts .. can also be created with dingbats. So I hope we surprised, creating a lot of ways, and share all that we no longer will need to ask, or search the net! Chiquis Courage!
