Witch · 31 Oct 2011

Seriously, that male troll in witch outfit is a female? O.o

I didn't mean the witch from the movie, just an avatar of witch with wicked feeling. Probably a drawing, cause one of the things I can't stand is a poor cosplay - if that was what you meant as a real woman witch. Green skin is so halloweeny (yes, that's bad

).

EDIT: The second one is better :)

You have never heard of the "Wizard of Oz." ?

The Wizard of Oz (1939) - IMDb

"Dorothy" on the left.

Hope this helps a bit

OK, thanks. I have seen the warning to rasterize be for, what is that exactly?

It means when you have a text (or smart) object PS gives you a rasterized image, but it keeps in mind what it is made of. If you rasterize a text and resize it, the more times you resize it the blurrier the text will look. If you resize a text object by changing the text size you will never loose quality, because PS creates a new vector image (path) and a new rasterized prewiev.
You have to rasterize objects before they could be distorted, because distorting a vector image takes significantly more time versus distorting a rasterized image which has finite number of points to work with (unlike a path)
Comparison

Sorry SG, more confused.

Thanks again, and regards from the extraterrestrial mushrooms...I visit them every year during the fair ;-D

These little mushrooms are very cool!

Every image that is in jpg or similar formats is a raster image.
Vector images (like the special text layers in image editors) are more like maps. It shows you where you have to go and what you have to do.
