    $\begingroup$ Can you explain the advantage of this over doing a high resolution raster of the original plot? I would haven wanted to see the axis as vector drawings. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 6:59

    $\begingroup$ For publication or presentations, I want labels, frames, and axes to be in high resolution or a vector style with an acceptable size of the file as in DensityPlot as in the answer you posted in the comment. Since can not get axis as vector style with Plot3D (as I know), then my idea was to highly raster labels, frames, and axes and moderate for the profile (which has the large weight in the file size due to colors ). If I raster the whole 3D plot the size will be large again. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 7:10
  • $\begingroup$ Isn't the axis high-resolution picture already going to be large and heavy? You are not even restricting the number of colours of the axis raster. Probably you could show explicitly how the total file size turns out smaller at the end. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 7:47
  • $\begingroup$ No, you can assign the same RasterSize for the profile and axes and export it as pdf separately, the size of the profile will be much more larger. e.g. for RasterSize->4000 axes are 120KB and profile 1200KB, 10 times larger $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 5, 2022 at 8:42
