TRUE... if you selected none in the text anti-aliasing method setting.


BUT ... PS merely assigned a single solid color to every pixel that makes up the letter to display the font, like a VECTOR. But if set to crisp, sharp, smooth or strong, you'll see the difference. This is the true way PS displays an object/ image's color/pixel values... one pixel at a time. And if rasterized so it can be merged with other layers, the text takes on those characteristics.  Try adding a gradient to an un-rasterized text layer in PS.... It will not. PS will ask you to first rasterize the layer....


The elements that make up a true vector has only one color value. Regardless whether a vector image contains a million shades of color, EACH solid object, line, polygon or point in the image has only one color value. Even in COREL DRAW, the Radient created with the Radient Fill function creates a grouped object with mutiple layers of solid objects each with one shade or value of color. This gives the impression of a radient. In PS, a radient is not a grouped object... but a single object with varying pixel color values.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
