Resulting image’s dimensions appear as the original dimensions plus the Add Around Object setting’s value. Not need to create a clipping mask if you selected Transparent for Background.Īdds a padding or border around the rasterized image, using the specified number of pixels. Select Type Optimized to apply anti-aliasing that is best suited to type.Ĭreates a mask that makes the background of the rasterized image appear transparent. Select Art Optimized to apply anti-aliasing that is best suited to artwork without type. When rasterizing a vector object, select None to apply no anti-aliasing and maintain the hard edges of line art when it is rasterized. Rasterization options for a document, deselect this option to maintain the crispness of fine lines and small text. (This option anti-aliases better than the Create Clipping Mask option.)Īpplies anti-aliasing to reduce the appearance of jagged edges in the rasterized image. The alpha channel is retained if the artwork is exported into Photoshop. If you select Transparent, you create an alpha channel (for all images except 1-bit images). Transparent areas with white pixels, or select Transparent to make the background transparent. Select Use Document Raster Effects Resolution to use global resolution settings.ĭetermines how transparent areas of the vector graphic are converted to pixels. Image (depending on the color mode of your document), a grayscale image, or a 1-bit image (which may be black and white or black and transparent, depending on the background option selected).ĭetermines the number of pixels per inch (ppi) in the rasterized image. You can set the following options for all raster effects in a document or when you rasterize a vector object.ĭetermines the color model that is used during rasterization. If an effect looks good on-screen, but loses detail or appears jagged when printed, increase the document raster effects resolution. You set rasterization options for a document by choosing Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings. These settings have a large impact on the resulting artwork therefore, it’s important to check the document raster effects settings before you start working with effects. Whenever you apply a raster effect, Illustrator uses the document’s raster effects settings to determine the resolution of the resulting image. Raster effects include SVG Filters, all of the effects in the bottom section of the Effect menu, and the Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow, and Feather commands in the Effect > Stylize submenu. Raster effects are effects that generate pixels, rather than vector data. Targeting items for appearance attributes To apply the last used effect and set its options, choose Effect >. To apply the effect and settings that were used last, choose Effect > Apply.
