You lost your luggage? What an achievement....

I tend to remember important stuff like luggage because I have some thing where I look at unique details so I know it when I see it. Color, designs, etc. Must be why I like graphic design...

xuvrette 02-12-2012 06:14 PM

It is not lost. But I practically overlook it because I am looking for a pink luggage. -_-;;

Last month, I had a debate with my classmate. Photoshop better or Illustrator better? How different are they other than one manage vector another manage jpeg?

APBCole 02-12-2012 06:19 PM

Illustrator is good for the aspect of vectors as you can resize them any size and the image will not lose any quality in the process. That's why Illustrator is good for logos due to the fact that it can be resized from a small logo for print on a brochure to one on a billboard.

Photoshop on the other hand has to do with raster images so it's all pixelated. You can resize images but you'll lose quality the larger you resize it as it is all pixels and not curves like in Illustrator. Photoshops advantage is the fact that it's fit for image editing professionally and allow you many different options for making a photo look professional. From the minor touchup of artifacts from a scanned image to cropping out an image then resizing it's resolution.

I love both equally as they're partners to me. I think they're a good team if used together.

Can Illustrator or photoshop file be interchange? as in, go to edit in illustrator then bring it back to PSD while still retaining the layers?

APBCole 02-12-2012 06:26 PM

They can be interchanged. Just like Adobe Premiere supports PSD files as you can insert them in and use them as titles.

I think it'll come onto one whole layer if you import it into Photoshop from Illustrator....but you can individually import each piece. Then do whatever to make it look like it looked before the transfer.

I haven't imported from Photoshop to Illustrator as I tend to do the reverse...so try that and see what happens.

xuvrette 02-12-2012 06:47 PM

If I import from Illustrator, all layers are separated? AI files to Photoshop?

APBCole 02-12-2012 06:50 PM

If you group them and import then they're together but if you import them separately then no.

xuvrette 02-12-2012 06:57 PM

By the way... Have you been looking at the shop for your avatar fashion?

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:01 PM

Mine will sort of have basic scrubs until I evolve into something weird...

I don't know how this will go until I get the funds but we'll see....

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:04 PM

Because I want to ask, as a newbie starting out, what clothes you would want on?

I tested Illustrator and Photoshop again for the import and export. So PSD is not possible to open in illustrator?

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:06 PM

Why are you so curious into what I want to wear?

You might be able to but i'm not talking about opening a file in a program. I'm talking about importing and exporting elements from said programs by copying and pasting them. Not actually inserting the file.

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:08 PM

I want to get ideas in pixeling for male newbie, since I have no design inspiration for male.

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:18 PM

Pixeling is a pain through as you have to be very specific about your design and also understand dithering.

Both require alot of time and effort before it's even a complete thing.

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:20 PM

erm... XD I am asking for what are you expecting to have in terms of your avatar dressing. XD
Like... denim pants, pants with lot of pockets, coat, blazer and so on...

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:23 PM

I'll only answer if you promise to PM me....

:)

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:24 PM

NOOOo~~~ I will not take... hmm... the threat!
*hides under blanket*

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:25 PM

Then I won't tell you what i'm going for with my avatar...

And that little announcement you read will mean nothing....

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:26 PM

...what little announcement?

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:27 PM

The one on designing clothing for newbies...

Obviously i'm not that clueless....

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:30 PM

... I think I kinda lost you... how the announcement would mean nothing?

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:32 PM

Because then you wouldn't be getting a newbies opinion on what i'd wear...

Therefore...useless....

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:35 PM

oh, Now I get it!
...
That is a threat!!!

Oh well~ I can go to fresh meat IF i really desperately want to ask. XD

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:36 PM

So when are you going to PM me?

Hmm?

xuvrette 02-12-2012 07:42 PM

SInce you so insisted I PMing you, I will NOT PM you. *goes opposite*

APBCole 02-12-2012 07:47 PM

You....won't PM me? You know how much that saddens me?

Well then...no more tips or tricks on Photoshop or Illustrator. I got alot you won't learn from a tutorial on Youtube.
