1, different image types:
Ps mainly produces bitmaps (pixel maps), such as jpg, png and other common formats. Bitmaps are made up of blocks of pixels that you can see when you maximize the picture. There is a problem here. The pixels of the bitmap are fixed. After enlargement, forcibly enlarging the pixels will be blurred, and shrinking will lose some pixels. Therefore, if you enlarge a picture first and then enlarge it, it will be blurred; As follows:
original drawing
shrink
Re-amplification
AI is to make a vector diagram, which is easy to understand. No matter how many times it is enlarged or reduced, it will not be distorted.
To add here, there is a "smart object" in PS, which belongs to vector diagram, but PS cannot export vector diagram.
2, the production method is different:
PS is mainly used for image processing, using brush eraser to make and process images such as matting, color matching, photo retouching and beauty. You can also make poster advertisements;
AI mainly cuts out the desired graphics through Boolean operation, which is mainly used in label design, logo design and other directions.
Not detailed enough, don't take it to heart, just get to know it. )
I hope this helps.
