Converting Vectors

ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL. Although vector graphics are fun to create and easy to manipulate without losing quality, sometimes the vector graphic may need a little more fine tweaking. For example, some vectors don’t have individual editable nodes. That’s not a problem, though. PaintShop Photo Pro can fix that for you. Also, if you are working with complicated drop shadows or other effects, PaintShop Photo Pro only applies effects to raster layers. Again, that’s not a problem. You can convert the vector layer to a raster layer.

Converting Vectors to a Path

You’ve probably noticed that many vector shapes don’t seem to have a path with individual editable nodes. Fortunately, PaintShop Photo Pro provides a method in which you can convert any vector object to a path with nodes you can individually edit using the Pen tool. You can easily convert text, shapes, or any vector object to a path.
