Using Photoshop and Illustrator

Unless you have tons of money to burn, every consumer wants to be as smart as possible when buying their goods. We want value for our money. If there’s a cheaper alternative that can deliverrepparttar same results, of course we would rather have that!

Same thing goes with graphic designers and professional photographers who use digital imaging applications. One particular issue that has been quite a favorite in various debates and discussions isrepparttar 107291 one that involves Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. When I first heard about it, I was a little surprised. I mean, both products are from Adobe, who takes pride in beingrepparttar 107292 world-leader in digital imaging, design, and document technology platforms for various consumer segments, so what’srepparttar 107293 big deal?

As it turns out,repparttar 107294 debate is coming from people’s notion that Adobe Illustrator isrepparttar 107295 cheaper Photoshop and because they can pretty much do whatrepparttar 107296 other does, they can be used as a replacement for each other.

The truth is,repparttar 107297 Photoshop-Illustrator comparison is another case of comparing apples with oranges. Here we actually have two different programs having similar but not exactlyrepparttar 107298 same functions.

Photoshop is for manipulating individual color pixels within a fixed bitmap. So if you need to create, modify and produce digital files, which are “photographic” in nature whererepparttar 107299 whole image is part of a "fixed" pixel structure, or a bitmap, or if you need to prepare complicated color or black and white images for further processing in page layout programs for high resolution printing, Photoshop will work for you.
