Dear all,

Hello,

Could I ask please how can I transform a "Linked Layer" into a vectorized expanded layer ; so I can deal with its anchors.

Thank you in advance.

You can't "make it" vector if its not vector (.png or .jpg). you would need to live trace it.

to unlink an image you can click embed in the top options you have in that screenshot.

if that however is a linked .png or linked .jpg. its not going to become a vector file.

Thank you so much

But excuse me, what should I do if I want to edit it ? it is a text turned into vector then I added a mask

If I traced it, I will do the same ...

Isn't there any solution ?

if its text turned to vector is now just shapes, you need to make a text box and make the new text.
