I'm pretty new to the whole graphic design sided of things and still don't fully understand the difference between the two adobe applications. Both are able to do the same sort of stuff, so what's the difference and when do you use each ?
Any help or tips on this would be greatful, because I'm really looking to master and get into one of these and want to decide where I should start ? :-X
I prefer photoshop. And as I know its the best there is . Also if your going to buy photoshop buy the new cs5
Ive come to the belief that if you can make it in illustrator (as in have the software competency)... make it in illustrator. Its that simple. Vector is the hotness when it comes to logos and the like because of scalability.
I prefer Photoshop, many reasons why, and they might not suit your needs. Best thing to do is download it from Adobes site for a free trial :)
Most of the people prefer Photoshop for graphic designing.
Illustrator and Photoshop are both Adobe creations and both are pretty heavily priced. As they are the product of Adobe both are very similar. The basic difference is Photoshop is a bitmap image manipulation and processing program that is perfect for creating, outputting or modifying digital images of a photographic nature. Illustrator is a vector based drawing program that generates individual vector objects that retain their characteristics and are not part of a bitmap. Photoshop is use for web, mobile, software UI design or photo enhancement or color correction or it is used for web graphics, motion graphics or special effects .Illustrator is used for Logo, Logo type, monogram and insignia design or web graphics, motion graphics or vector painting or Illustrations.
adobe photoshop must be the first choice that you would be picking, since it is very user-friendly and more common tool. you would not find it hard to learn that since most of the time, it is instructional. You could ask anything here regarding what output you really want. :)
Photoshop is bitmap centered graphic modifying and development program. The photo shop is a vector based modifying and development program. I personally think photoshop's used to create web centered design far more often. The illustrator's for creating clean forms and designs for example logo design.
Both tools are best and there are many good features that are encouraging but my personal opinion goes for Photoshop and that why I use it.
Although, both of these Illustrator and Photoshop are great but I prefer Photoshop because of its good result. These days I am using adobe photoshop cs6 which works really nice, in fact there are many web designers going for it as well.
The Design world the All Adobe Photoshop,Illustrator making by web design , Logo Design another picture design.
etc..............
Both are good. but my all time favourite is Adobe photoshop.
Illustrator and Photoshop are the two of Adobe's most populary used graphics program.
1. Adobe photoshop is a great program for modifying already created images or graphics like photos, and is adobes most popular program.Raster or bitmap graphics are created using photoshop. where as Adobe Illustrator is an advance vector based software, It uses mathematical construct to create vector graphics.
2. Photoshop was created as a tool for photographer to edit and manage there photos where as Illustrator was created for typesetting and logo areas of graphics design.
Both tool has its advantage. If you want to edit any image etc and use it then Photoshop is the best tool. Illustrator is good for high resolution for printing purpose. Photoshop can be used for both printing and online medium.
Both Illustrator and Photoshop are preferable for different purposes. When its about editing photos I like to use Photoshop and when its about creative design then Illustrator is a better choice.
Hello,
Photoshop is the best for graphic design services
Well, Photoshop does raster files, and Illustrator does vector files.
Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a great program for modifying already created images or graphics, like photos, and is Adobe's most popular program. Raster or bitmap graphics are created in Photoshop. These graphics can sometimes look a little jagged since raster images are made up of individual colored squares, known as pixels. Everything in Photoshop is just a series of pixels, so if you're scaling something up or down, it can lose its quality very quickly. Photoshop is a popular choice for web graphics, photo editing and designs since those projects will stay at a fixed size. Editing photos is awesome in Photoshop because it includes a lot of unique filters, special effects, and tools. Another great benefit of Photoshop is that you can have complete control of your projects since you can edit your graphics pixel-by-pixel.
Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is an advanced vector-based software. So, unlike Photoshop's pixel-based format, it uses mathematical constructs to create vector graphics. In Illustrator, a line is composed of two dots connected by a computer algorithm, instead of just a line of pixels. Because of this, Illustrator is used often to create logos or anything that may need to be printed or displayed at different sizes. A vector graphic will never lose its quality if it's scaled up or down. Illustrator will also give you a better print output since it's not resolution dependent. A drawback of Illustrator is that it can't be used easily to modify images that are already created since there are limited filters and image editing tools available to you.
Illustrator uses vector graphics, which consist of lines, curves, and shapes defined by mathematical equations. This allows for scalability, flexibility, and precision.
Photoshop, on the other hand, uses raster graphics, which are made up of pixels arranged in a grid. This allows for realistic textures, shading, and color correction. When working with logos, icons, and illustrations, Illustrator is the go-to choice. For editing and manipulating photographs, Photoshop is the way to go.
