What is the difference between Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop?

Answer 1

CorelDRAW is a vector drawing illustration application, while Photoshop is a raster (or bitmap) image editing and painting application.

Vector drawing uses mathematical equations (inside the program, the user doesn't have to worry about the math) to define the lines, curves, angles, etc. of a line drawing or collage style image. Raster or Bitmap images define the color properties of each individual pixel of an image, for pictures more like paintings or photographs.

Vector drawings can be less "realistic" looking and more illustrative. Vector drawing is ideal for line drawings, logos, diagrams, plans, charts, maps, and so on. Due to their mathematical properties, vector drawings also scale without loss or distortion, while bitmap images become distorted (pixelated, jaggy) if they are enlarged or reduced (much).

Answer 2

The two programs functioned in much the same way - paths and anchors defined vector shapes. Illustrator's superiority made it the industry standard for vector illustration and design, much the way InDesign trumped Quark.

Answer 3

Adobe Photoshop is best image editing software to work with pixel based images while Adobe Illustrator is best vector drawing software to work with vector based objects, graphics... Both software can handle bitmap-pixel based and vector objects but with difference in options and capabilities.

Answer 4

Illustrator is known as a "drawing" program where Photoshop is known as a "painting" program.

You can minipulate and air brush pictures better in PhotoShop. Illustrator allows you to create designs and what not. PhotoShop lets you change existing pictures, Illustrator lets you make them.

There are two fundamentally different types of graphics image - Vector images and Bitmap images. Vector images are made up of lines(mainly Illustrator) polygons etc. Bitmap images are made up of pixels of color (mainly Photoshop).

Answer 5

The difference between Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop is that Adobe Flash is used for animations and Photoshop is used to editing photos.

Answer 6

Main difference is that Photoshop is raster image editor and CorelDraw is vector object oriented software (like Adobe Illustrator).

Answer 7

Nothing, Photoshop is created by Adobe, it's just quicker to say Photoshop instead of always saying 'Adobe' in front of it.
