image sizes for the photo and moodboards clipping masks

Hello

I place images/photos to the web and Pinterest on my plans to work in Illustrator for both mood/inspiration cards as well to use with clipping masks.

Should I adjust the size of the image files in photoshop before placing them so that my illustrator file does not become too large?

Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

Thank you

Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.
