Creating a Vector Layer

[ LiB ]

An image can contain both raster objects and vector objects; however, vector objects and raster objects cannot be mixed on a layer. Vector objects must be on a vector layer. If you try to create a vector object on a raster layer, Paint Shop Pro automatically creates a vector layer for you. If the current layer is already a vector layer, Paint Shop Pro adds the new object to the current layer. Paint Shop Pro files can have many vector layers , and each layer can have many objects.

The New Vector Layer dialog box is the same for both vector and raster layers.

NOTE

You can bypass the New Vector Layer dialog box by holding down the Shift key while you select New Vector Layer.

NOTE

Through the Layers menu, you can convert a vector layer to a raster layer, but you cannot convert a raster layer to a vector layer.
