Differences and Similarities between InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

InDesign is used to organize text, images and design layouts that are used in magazines, newspapers and newsletters. Illustrator is mainly used to create shapes or texts for vector graphics. Its best used is for making graphics or logos usually of solid colors and sometimes with gradients. Photoshop also can create vector images but is mainly used for editing pixelated based images such as scanned images or photo’s that illustrator cannot do. When enlargeing or reducing the size of an image in Photoshop, you will reduce the quality of the photo. Whereas, in Illustrator, altering the image size will not reduce the quality of the image. InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator are all Adobe programs and are used for graphic purposes depending on the project.
