This book will show you how to combine the power of Photoshop 7 and
Illustrator 10 to take your creative and production skills to new
heights. Find out the best way to use them in tandem, with a seamless
workflow, for stunning results in your print and web output. The book
looks at how the programs work together to help you create great
graphics with practical demonstrations of projects you are likely to
encounter in your work.
You'll learn advanced techniques for working with layer blending modes,
the latest tools and new file formats such as SVG, along with color
management, animation, printing, web-publishing, and integration with
other programs. This book is not for Photoshop and Illustator
novices--it's called 'Advanced' because it aims to take your basic
skills to the next level and teach you how to create the finest graphics
you find in the world around you.
The book looks at how the programs can serve each other and you: Adobe
has worked hard to make these two applications function more efficiently
together--this book will help you to reap the rewards of their labor.
The aim of this book is to show how Photoshop 7 and illustrator 10 can
work together as part of a team; this means looking at their strengths
and weaknesses and how they compliment one another.
Part 1 is shorter than Part 2 and contains an analysis of each
application; how each one performs certain tasks and where the crossover
lies. Many functions can be acheived in both and there is a certain
amount of personal choice involved--we evaluate the benefits of each one
and which may be suited to certain tasks: we want you to find the right
balance to maintain a long and happy marriage!
In Part 2, we look at the practical applications of each one through a
series of projects that detail step-by-step how they may be used in
conjunction with each other. The tutorials are backed up with theory and
additional information to help you make an informed choice when deciding
the workflow that fits you best. We hope to help you make the best use
of your skills and talents, so you can go further and achieve more.
