How to get SVG file to not be pixelated when opened in PS

[shanti771]

I hope someone knows how to do this because I can't figure it out.
I am making a mockup. I need to open and resize a file to place onto a photo. I have the file as an .svg and .png. Every time I open the .svg in PS it is pixelated to the point where I can't use it. (PS asks for the size I resize it down or up and it opens pixelated.). I thought .svg files could be resized without pixelation?

Here's my files:
The truck -backround image
Flowers - need to be re-sized/ color changed (I guess I can't upload the .svg file)

Also If someone has an easier way to do this kind of thing I would to hear it!!

I don't know the answer to your SVG issue. But here's an easier way to do what you want.

• Using the magic wand, make a selection of your daisy shape. (Make sure the box for "contiguous" is unchecked.)
• Once you have the selection, go into the Paths palette and click the icon where the red arrow is pointing (see below). That icon creates a vector shape from a selection.
• Save the vector shape. Then you can resize it up or down all you want (Edit>Free Transform Path) and it will never pixellate.

Hi @shanti771

The approach I take is to use the File > Place Embedded command for the vector file (e.g. .svg, .ai, etc) so it is loaded as a Smart Object
The image below is a 100% view of my screen along with the Layer Stack (attribution for the .ai image given as a text Layer.

As the Layer is a Smart Object, I can enlarge or reduce in size the vector file and it will recompute from the original vectors (as I understand) to give you the best posible resolution given the number of pixels used in the creation of your image (mine was 3000 pixels wide)
I do not experience the pixelation problem that shown in your image so suggest you give this approach a try
Just a suggestion
