Vector tools

July 13, 2017 by Rod Lawton

Tools use for drawing shapes rather than editing the pixels in photos. Vector shapes are described mathematically, so you can scale them up to any size without quality loss, edit them after they’ve been created and combine them in different ways. In photo editing, they’re most likely to be used for makign a very precise ‘path’ for cutouts and object selection.
