<div class="Normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">The new raster output option
doesn't have any directly relation to image output. The option was created due
to problems of PS Printers with large composer maps combined with transparent
vector objects. When you try to print to PS Printers without checked raster
option many printers aren't able to print maps in the correct way. Some objects
are lost, polygon fill pattern will be printed wrong etc. When you check the
raster option, the map is encapsulated as image into the postscript output. PS
output generated in this way is printable on PS printers without problems and
the fill pattern will be printed as you see them in composer map.</span></div>
