Illustrator vs. Photoshop

(1/3) > >>

tetrahedron:
a lot of you guys seem to have some experience w/ one or both of these.  i have both in version CS and i was wondering: in what scenario is it better to use photoshop/illustrator?  i've found that i like illustrator for sketching (if you don't like a line you can just delete it b/c each path is its own object), but i also haven't messed w/ photoshop too much.  it seems like backgrounds and shading/colouring would be easier to do in photoshop, but i don't know.  i want to invest my time well.

opinions, please?

Lines:
illustrator is good for the reasons you said and photoshop is great for manupulating. basically, i've only ever used illustrator for vector based art. considering i like making blends or manips, i usually use photoshop.

Unosuke:
so say I had a tablet, I'd want to use it in Illustrator?

Kai:
Probably.



I don't consider the programs comparable. They work in two completely different ways (Pixels Vs. Objects) and both have different uses. Illustrator for creating, Photoshop for editing and cleanups.


They're both really useful.
