Vector vs Raster
Explore the exciting varieties of projects utilizing both Personas:
Mastering Affinity Designer's Vector and Raster Personas allows us to leverage the strengths of each image type. Opt for the Vector Persona for scalable illustrations or seamlessly switch to the Raster Persona for organic-feel digital paintings or organic accents.
Understanding vector and raster disparities is crucial, guiding format selection based on use. Vectors scale without loss, ideal for logos, while raster excels at detailed textures, painterly effects and photographic assets.
