Adobe Photoshop is a great and powerful tool to do a lot of stuff. Majority of the graphic designer don’t know that Photoshop is not your one stop shop. In other words, even though it is a great program, it is not meant to be done for everything.
Like the hint in the name, Photoshop is meant to be dealt with photos. When I say dealt with photos I mean that it is used to manipulate photos or add special effects to it. However, this program is not meant to be dealt with for fonts or creating abstract designs.
The reason why this software is not that great with dealing with fonts and abstract design is because raster program. In better terms, it is only meant to deal with pixels which photos have. So when you save your project or photo that you have place a text in, that very same text that was looking nice on the computer will become pixelated. Making it not as smooth as it should be if done in other Adobe programs.
In the next series I will explain what Adobe programs should be used for text and design.
