 ## -remarks
 
-The value of this property is an extra scale factor to be used when rendering shapes, images, text, or media. It is usually applied to render at a higher resolution than normal. 
+Use this property when you want a specific element to render its shapes, images, text, or media at a higher resolution than its normal layout size.
 
-For example, it can be used to have a `TextBlock` render at a 2x scale before running a scale animation. This ensures the text is rendered crisply at its final scale value during the animation.
+This property does not report the current display scale for the element. Instead, it is a per-element rendering multiplier that you can set in addition to the scale that XAML already applies for the current display.
+
+For example, you can set a `TextBlock` to render at a 2x rasterization scale before running a scale animation. This helps the text stay crisp at its final animated size.
+
+The default value is `1.0`, which means no extra per-element rasterization scaling is applied. In that case, the element renders using only the scale already determined by the XAML environment.

-> To determine the display scale factor for an element, use the [XamlRoot.RasterizationScale](xamlroot_rasterizationscale.md) property instead.
+> To determine the display scale factor for an element, use the [XamlRoot.RasterizationScale](xamlroot_rasterizationscale.md) property instead. `XamlRoot.RasterizationScale` is a read-only value that describes the current view-to-physical-pixel scale for the XAML tree, while `UIElement.RasterizationScale` is an optional extra scale factor that you set on an individual element.
