Difference between Photoshop and illustrator
Photoshop and Illustrator are two
of Adobe's popular graphics tools. If you're working on a new project, you
might have a hard time figuring out which of the two programs will work best
for you, since on the surface they seem so similar. We've jot down some of the
main differences between Photoshop and Illustrator.
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 rough 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 best option 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 advantage of Photoshop is that you can have
complete control of your projects, since you can edit your graphic
pixel-by-pixel.
Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is 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 points 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.
Illustrator will also give you a better print output since it's not relying on
resolution. 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.
