Digitalize It! : Modification of images with tools such as Adobe CS and
Corel.
by Granny's Mettle
Then it was a choice among crayons, paints and palettes for an artist and
designer to create art. It was a box of crayons that make one happy designer
during his early years of formation.
Nowadays, designing has gone to the new age of advanced technology that utilizes
computers and programming. As a designer used to handling tangible products such
as the ever reliable crayons, computer technology is oftentimes scary and heart
palpitating. With all that computer code and HTML tags and styles, it's no
wonder that most designers break out in cold sweat every time they are forced to
put computer code around a text in a Word document to get the layout they want.
To help designers and artists alike to make their lives simpler, Adobe offers a
complete package that brings designs straight from concept to the online world.
On the other hand, Corel has also introduced new programs to help ease the
burden of creating works of art with the use of the computer.
The new applications ensure that every designer's nightmare will be gone,
helping him/her to sleep more soundly at night. These programs can help
designers utilize simple sites quickly and effectively.
The CS Advantage
The new Adobe Creative Suite combines Adobe's graphics applications and an
efficient workflow that answers the needs of nearly every creative professional,
from conceptualization to implementation, from print to Web. Not only do
designers get one program at a time; rather, a whole suite of the latest
versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and GoLive software. It also
includes the new Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional software to Acrobat
Professional.
The Creative Suite is Adobe's attempt to bind the applications together. Now,
Adobe's creative products use not only the same graphics engine but also the
same type and color-management engines. Files that are created in one
application can open easily in others with all their features intact. With a
consistent user interface, moving from one application to another is easy.
And holding it all together is the new file-management and version-tracking
technology Version Cue. The Version Cue lets you create and publish content for
print and the Web faster, more easily, and more affordably. That's why Adobe is
introducing this one whole package as "the complete design environment for print
and Web publishing".
- Adobe Photoshop for image editing- easily manage your images with the
improved File Browser, quickly share design variations with Layer Comps, and
instantly improve contrast with Shadow/Highlight correction; perform more
precise editing and retouching with expanded support for 16-bit images and
monitor changes to your image in the Histogram palette, which dynamically
updates as you make adjustments.
- Adobe Illustrator for drawing and vector graphics- with powerful new 3D
features, advanced typographical controls, and a host of groundbreaking new
design tools, this powerful upgrade from Illustrator 10 delivers the
performance you need to make the most of your creativity; import Photoshop
image compositions directly to Illustrator- or create drawings in
Illustrator and import them directly into Photoshop; create native Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) files using settings and options consistent
with Adobe Acrobat Distiller software and get fast, consistent print results
with features like Fit to Page, Print Preview, and support for Print
Settings.
- Adobe InDesign for page layout and design, and Adobe GoLive for Web
layout- import your native vector and bitmap artwork directly into InDesign
CS software for sophisticated print layouts or into Adobe GoLive CS software
for powerful web pages. With the support of Adobe PDF and XML, you can
easily output your pages to both print and the Web.
The Corel Advantage…
With the introduction of Corel Painter IX, commercial designers,
photographers, and professional artists are able to use their natural talents
and techniques to create breathtaking works of art. Corel ensures that the new
program is a must-have software for creative professionals, whether they're in
film making, game development, commercial design, illustration, photography, or
even fine arts.
With regards to performance and productivity, the Corel Painter IX boasts of
significantly improved speed, new and enhanced Brush Control Palettes,
Frames-per-Second Control, and Customizable Shortcut Keys. Professional users
can extend their creative possibilities with new enhancements that include
Artists' Oils Painting System, Snap-to-Path Painting, improved Digital
Watercolor, and Quick Clone.
What is exciting about this new software is that the Corel Painter IX is more
compatible with other professional technologies, providing enhanced support to
Adobe Photoshop, Wacom (including the Wacom Intuos3), and Color Management.
What's more, getting started is easier than ever. Corel has provided various
support guides to help end-users control their fear of tackling a seemingly
intricate world of software and programs. Corel has provided a revitalized User
Guide, the Painter IX Handbook that includes tutorials from leading creative
professionals, access to free training videos, and academic courseware
specifically designed for educators.
With powerful applications such as the Adobe CS and Corel, artists and designers
alike can now combine both worlds of traditional art and sophisticated
technology. The intricate tones of traditional art skills and techniques they've
developed during their formation years as artists can be integrated with the
incredible benefits that digital media can provide. Every creation can now be
worthy of the exaltations and awe reserved for those found in galleries and
exhibits. In addition, these art forms are now made at a faster and quicker rate
than their original counterparts.
