Re: [Avid-L2] Photoshop Resizing of Text Only Resample or Not?

The text is vector based until it's rasterized.   If it's your original .psd document you're working with, you should be ok.  If you merged layers, or are working with any other format, you're probably re-sampling.

I'm no Photoshop expert by any means and it's been a long sime since I had a class.  I have a document that is Text Only generated in PhotoShop.  The initial delivery request was 680x170 left justified.  Now they want an HD 1920x1080 and a Social Media 1080x1080 version.  I used image size with H&V locked to get the required width.  I then created a new document of 1920x1080 and 1080x1080 and dragged the text layers into it.  Given this is text only that was generated in Photoshop I assume I'm not losing any quality enlarging the image size.  I'm thinking the fonts are vector based aren't they?  I played around and if I don't check resample and do the resize I see no change in the size of the image in the Photoshop window.

I read resampling can make an image softer etc... but is Photoshop Text a different beast in this regard?
