Photoshop VS Illustrator

I think that photographers would use photoshop because you can change a photo you've taken and improve it. and I think that graphic designers would use illustrator because you can basically create anything on illustrator with out using an image/photo, also you would use that to create posters and logos.

The photographers would use photoshop to change an image or you can change an image by adding something to it or you can get rid off some off it. whilst the graphic designers would use illustrator to create different posters and logos so it would look more calm and clean 

The format that Photoshop uses pixels. Photographers would use this because it is more of a photography based program so you can make your photo easier. And illustrator uses vectors. The graphic designers  would use this because it makes it look more clean and you can use it easier to create a poster and logo.

On photoshop I added different types off images onto a background (Erik Johansson) by using mask layers to remove the image background. And on illustrator I created a poster timeline and I created it by using the different shape tools and the brush tool and the selection tools to adjust the picture and make it bigger.

On photoshop I learnt that you have layers and you can remove the background from the picture (Mask Layer) and how you can switch the colour boxes, Also I learnt how to use the magic wand tool. On illustrator I learnt that you can create better posters on it and that you can add different anchors on lines and different things also you can adjust the shapes on different

During these tasks i know that if you need to improve a picture, add anything to it or make an animation it is best to use photoshop and if you want to just create a poster or logos i would specifically use illustrator to do that, Because you can use it so it looks more interesting and unique

In photoshop i enjoyed adding a picture to a background I enjoyed this because you can make anything you want you can also make most picture things in this program which I enjoy to. In illustrator I enjoyed making the poster as you can basically make any poster you want or any logo because it is more easier to make it in than another program I have used

I found that on photoshop once you had to flip the colour boxes around was challenging because I always forgot to do that and you had to have the colours the right one. And on illustrator I found that the layers where challenging because it was once I was adding something on the poster I made it was going behind the background not in front which got annoying.
