Conversion of a layer of type shape in a raster format

For performance of various operations over пикселами in a type layer shape, for example drawing or a filtration, or for conversion of a circuit of cutting off of a figure in (пиксельную) a layer mask, at first it is necessary to transform a layer to a raster format.

1. Select a type layer shape (fig. 16.90).
   
2. Fulfill menu command Layer> Rasterize (the Layer> to Transform to a raster format) and select a suitable variant from the appeared submenu:
   
   • Shape (Figure) - transforms a type layer shape to a raster figure with the filling, allocated in the transparent layer, without usage of a circuit of cutting off. Now in a layer it is possible to draw and fulfill editing (fig. 16.91);
     
   • Fill Content (filling Contents) - transforms contents of filling of a layer to the raster area restricted to a circuit of cutting off. Now in a layer it is possible to draw and fulfill editing (fig. 16.92);
     
   • Vector Mask (the Vectorial mask) - transforms a circuit of cutting off of layers to the raster mask of a layer having the same form and position. It is possible to change fill color and to move a mask within a layer (fig. 16.93);
     
   • Layer (Layer) - is given by the same effect, as command Shape (see above and fig. 16.94);
     
   • All Layers (All layers) - transforms all layers of type shape to raster figures with the filling allocated in the transparent layer, without usage of a circuit of cutting off.
