Welcome to this course on Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop where you will be learning various tools and techniques used in these two software for creating vector illustrations and editing photos. In earlier days, people used to learn either of the two focusing on a specific stream but over time people are getting more inclined towards learning both of these leading software due to their capability and wide array of domains where Photoshop and Illustrator can be incorporated. For example- If you are a Graphic Designer and generally use Illustrator to create vector arts, there could be situation where you may require a photo editing tool such as Photoshop for creating Banners and Posters of Raster files or simply editing some travel photos. On the flip side, a photo editor may also require Illustrator to create some custom shapes for creating masks and logos that can be easily done with Illustrator.
