![]() More effects – for the Photoshop user versus the Illustrator use, they may have a wider range of effects and filters at their disposal.The file size in Illustrator could be potentially large. Especially if you consider using many blends to create an object with blurred edges. File size – linking in to the high detailed aspect, if you have a piece which is high in details, a Photoshop file is maybe a smaller file size if it contains a lot of blurred pieces.Speed – for highly detailed work, it's possibly quicker to use a painting program such as Photoshop.So why would a person prefer raster over vector? Surely there are some drawbacks to using vector over raster, as hard it is to conceive. I do feel as if I'm trying to sell ice to the Inuit's here, but what do you see as the main benefits of using vector over raster? Why do you personally prefer to use vector over raster? Not to mention being able to modify the color scheme of a piece to the clients desires in no time at all makes this a huge benefit. Color – changing colors at the click of a button… OK, I exaggerate here but being able to select a shape, maybe a group of shapes, maybe selecting a group of the same color and being able to change the color so quickly is definitely a benefit for those who have an indecisive mind.If you consider if this was done in Photoshop (or any other raster program), the edges may not be as crisp, or you may even need to re-do elements. Easy to edit – it's resizing elements, changing shapes by moving points… it's a medium which seems to be made to be easy to change.Scalable – it's the reason we love it and the reason many work with it, that it's scalable to any size without pixelation or quality loss.Others are application specific, which is dependent on the program you use to create your vector work. Some of them are medium specific, that it's actually the medium itself which holds this benefit. So let's imagine you've never used vector before and you're interested in knowing what these so called benefits are. To the vector obsessive, the pros outweigh the cons significantly. ![]() We know its benefits compared to other mediums and we know its pitfalls. For a lot of us, it's our preferred medium to work with and create with – and rightly so. It's fair to say that if you're a regular visitor to Vectortuts+ that you hold some favor towards vector. When it comes down to it, which would you prefer to work in: vector or raster? Why do you prefer one over the other and is it just a matter of time before vector art rules the digital art and design world?
