Illustrator vs Photoshop

MorejoyMojo

Do you need to use both Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop to be able to do everything you can do or Corel Draw or do you really only need one of the programs?

I know Adobe has a bigger learning curve however I know you can end up doing more

It all depends on what exactly you are trying to do. Illustrator is the best for creating vector artwork and photoshop is really only needed if you need to do some photo manipulation

Corel draw
Corel Draw is a program for working with vector graphics, used in operational printing, for layout of banners, leaflets, posters and leaflets, as well as for drawing logos, for plotter cutting and working with multi-page documents.

One of the advantages of Corel is that the program allows you to import files created in other programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.). For example, the same Illustrator will not open a file made in Corel Draw, unless it is first converted to a different format.

Adobe photoshop
Photoshop is a program for working with raster images, that is, pictures, photographs (retouching, color correction, photomontage, creating surreal works, etc.). Not suitable for multi-page products.

Adobe illustrator
Illustrator is a vector graphics program used for single-page documents such as posters, business cards, flyers, and multi-page documents (such as brochures). It allows you to draw with a graphics tablet, as well as sketch and sketch. The program allows you to convert a scanned hand drawing into a vector image.

And also Illustrator is a great PDF editor (if done in vector).

Work in an illustrator can be supplemented with work in Photoshop, when you need to make a vector image less flat, give it volume, add roughness

We use Adobe Illustrator for almost everything we do design wise or if we need to turn artwork into a vector format.
