Why is this tutorial showing vector art in Photoshop? If you want to look at vector art, do it in Illustrator, where it’s truly vector. Photoshop is a raster environment and what this video doesn’t make clear is that vectors in Photoshop will be rendered in pixels. The only way to get ‘crisp’ vectors out of a Photoshop file is to export the file as a Photoshop EPS or PDF.

Actually professor, although Photoshop does use a raster based system to display vectors, it still communicates with “smart objects” that are fully editable in Adobe Illustrator.

It’s just a video brother. Take it for what it is. Just someone’s perspective.
