Why are graduated edges visible in hugely magnified layers?
[sorry if this is trivial, but it looks strange to me]
a. create a comp.
b. add a Layer, smaller than the comp. (e.g. 10*10 px)
c. Apply a huge magnification to the Layer (e.g. 10,000%)
d. Move the Layer so as to see it’s edge.The edges of the Layer all appear graduated. Almost like a glow. I was expecting clean, straight edges. The magnification should not introduce any distortion.
Is this a feature or a bug? And is there a way to prevent it?
Thank you.

You need to educate yourself on the difference between raster and vector-based images.
You can start here.

Many thanks to Dave for the explanation. I assume it affects the rendering of both Raster and Vector layers.

There’s more information about layer quality and subpixel positioning here:
