Just know that applying a Photoshop effect rasterizes artwork, unless it’s already a raster image. Using these effects, you can do things like blur images or apply artistic effects like film grain (see Figure 10). In Illustrator, you can also apply artistic effects called “Photoshop effects.” These types of effects are found in the Effect menu in Illustrator and are labeled as Photoshop effects. You can always see what resolution the image is in the Links panel or in the Control panel (like I mentioned previously).

Be careful and try not to scale images up (down is usually okay to a point). For instance, if you place an image that is 2 inches in width at 200 ppi, and scale it to 200%, the image will become 4 inches in width at 100 ppi.

Scaling images larger means lowering the effective resolution.

If the image you place in Illustrator is too small or too low resolution, it most likely won’t look good. Like in InDesign, Illustrator believes in garbage-in, garbage-out. One thing I always caution people on when working with raster in Illustrator is to be careful with scaling.
