There are four popular bitmap processing softwares: photoshop, fireworks, Paintshop and Painter, but in the field of graphic design,

Photoshop is basically adopted, and there are too many introductions, so I won't say much here. In the initial stage of graphic design, the application of PS has almost become the most important evaluation index for your level in many companies.

Mark.

By the way, other modes; Painter, if you are an illustrator, please abandon photoshop, because compared with computer painting, photoshop is nothing.

Is the painter's opponent fireworks, as a web swordsman, needless to say. Paint shops, simple things, such as factory posters, use paint shops and

CorelDraw, just take care of it. Don't bother photoshop.

2, vector diagram processing software

CorelDraw, Illustrator, FreeHand and PageMaker (it should be said that they are text typesetting software) which are popular in professional fields.

CorelDraw is more famous in China than in the world. Is a set of vector graphics editing and text typesetting in one software. Its advantages are powerful function and simple operation. The disadvantage is that bitmap support is flawed (especially color), and the upper limit of bitmap output seems to be only one direction 10000 pixels.

Illustrator is a software that integrates vector graphics editing and text typesetting functions. The advantage is that the text typesetting effect and vector graphics drawing are excellent, and the compatibility with photoshop is the best (pure nonsense). The disadvantage is the lack of typesetting and editing, and the output bitmap takes a long time.

FreeHand is a software that integrates vector graphics editing and text typesetting functions. It is excellent in hand drawing, typesetting and special effects processing, but its support for bitmap is not very good. Freehand's name is CorelDraw Jr. You'll know what it means after listening to it. It's a slim version of CorelDraw.

PageMaker is a set of text typesetting software. Hehe, typesetting has no rivals. It has all the functions of automatic page setting, template page setting, text paragraph setting, text line breaking and so on. The disadvantage is that you can't draw straight lines except for text typesetting. Ha ha.

3, the combination of software

photoshopIllustrator

Suitable for general graphic design, photoshop image processing, Illustrator typesetting, word processing and drawing graphics.

no

I have to admit that this combination is a pearl wall combination. It should be said that it is the best and first-class in the world. If you plan to go to a foreign advertising company, you must use this combination to study, because many only recognize this.

Well, it's a pity that China has the national conditions of China. Many export companies don't support Illustrator's output files, or they produce one kind or another when importing Illustrator's output files.

Error, so when using this combination, please don't use AI format for the final output file.

photoshopCorelDraw

Suitable for general graphic design, photoshop image processing, CorelDraw typesetting, word processing and drawing graphics.

this

This has basically become the absolute mainstream combination of domestic advertising companies, especially small and medium-sized advertising companies, and many large advertising companies have begun to put down their airs, abandon Illustrator and switch to it.

CorelDraw, but note that CorelDraw8.0 does not support versions above 9.0, and 9.0 does not support versions above 10.0, so it is better to use it when the output is in cdr format.

In the 8.0 format

photoshopFreeHand

Suitable for general graphic design work, such as photoshop image processing, freehand typesetting, word processing, drawing graphics, etc., the effect is similar to photoshopCorelDraw.

Although not many people use this combination, some people still learn FreeHand instead of CorelDraw.

CorelDrawPageMaker

Suitable for text poster design, PageMaker word processing, layout integration, CorelDraw drawing graphics.

The adoption rate of this combination in factories and government agencies is relatively high. In fact, they don't pay much attention to gorgeous effects. They just want to express it in words. There are so many files.

photoshopPageMaker

Suitable for books, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, etc. , PageMaker word processing, integrated layout, photoshop processing images and effects.

Magazines and newspapers use this. Pay attention. Photoshop text doesn't seem to fit in PageMaker.

To modify (a picture or photograph) with a computer.

Suitable for advertising production with few words, just use photoshop alone. In fact, most advertisements are like this. After all, designers are not typesetters.
