  • Do I need Illustrator installed to continuously rasterize?

    Posted by Fenton Dyer on August 11, 2014 at 8:49 am

    Topic says it all really. Tried all the other tips on other threads but can’t continuously rasterize. So should I install Illustrator to do it?

    Thanks

    No, you don’t need it installed. You need a vector image, eps/ai files are generally vector. And then makes sure the continuously rasterize button is pressed.

    Here’s some vector images, if they don’t scale properly, then you are doing something incorrectly: 7855_vectorimages.ai.zip

    Hi,thanks for your reply. Yeah those scale correctly. Is it anything to do with the save settings in Illustrator?

    No, the settings shouldn’t matter, as long as you are using vector images.

    Do you have bitmapped(pictures) in your illustrator files? If they are bitmapped doesn’t matter if you save them as eps or ai, they are still bitmapped images and won’t continuously raster.
