On Friday (September 5th), we were introduced to Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is like Photoshop in many ways, but is also very different. Photoshop, the photos have pixels, while in Illustrator, everything created in Illustrator is made out of vectors.
Vectors are line segments that are smooth and do not contain pixels. If you place anything in Illustrator, you can zoom in as far as possible and still see no pixels, this is because of the vectors. Photoshop on the other hand, contains pixels and the more you zoom in, the more you begin to see those pixels. Photoshop is more of a photo editor, when Illustrator is more of a graphic designer for logos.
In all honesty, I'd have to say that I like Adobe Photoshop, because its a bit harder to use and you can do quite a bit more in it. The only thing that I like about Adobe Illustrator is the fact that you have a bit more creative tools in it to help you "Illustrate" your photo.
