Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
Thank you.

The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard. It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar. Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again. It wasn't always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap. I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard. So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
My computer specs
Windows XP Professional
2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
4GB RAM (tech under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Imo, you should establish a rather strict
color management strategy (examples):
1. Define in Photoshop:
RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
CMYK: ISOCoated
Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
the point where I'm usually giving up.

Color Managment between Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi All,
Can anyone give me some tips of how to do the color managment in both Photoshop and Illustrator? I'm using Ai CS3 and PS CS3, although I have using CMYK mode in both software and having them in same Color profile setting, when using Ai to open a PS file the color is still different from what I see in PS. I would like to know is it possible to make it looks the same?
Thanks

Linking and updating between photoshop and illustrator cs6

Im having trouble with linking my files from photoshop to illustrator on a mac.
Im using CS6 and it used to work fine, I'm not sure if I disabled a option somewhere but now It doesn't update the files when I make changes.
For example if I'm making a change in photoshop and saving it, It should ask me to update in illustrator but it doesn't

@SP/RAA
Jean posted perhaps the best solution for your problem.
A template is an Illustrator document for startup. You can create a document...place all the colors you want to the Swatches panel....insert contents to symbol, brushes, graphic styles and so on. Then you can go File > Save as Template.
Now...when you want to start a new document..you could File > New from Template. Then new document will have all the stuffs of the template, including other specifications like rulers viewed...guides...
But even using template you cannot update a batch of documents...The template is only a document for start...and it does not keep linked to new documents based on it.
Or you try via script (do not know how further it would help) or try the alternative given by Jean.

Working between Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to work between the two programs without losing quality, but I am not having any luck.
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
by the time i come back to illustrator it looks like my original design has been rasterized.
The vector artwork is pixelated.
Tried saving in a few different formats from photoshop but can't figure it out.
I'm sure it is sometihng basic.
Thanks for the help.

You get what you ask for:
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
PS, for all intents and purposes, is pixel based. The only way to retain vector editability would be to use smart objects, but then again none of this matters when you go back to AI as it has its own share of issues dealing with PS files. It's really your workflow.. You should try to only do the parts in PS that you realyl must and then export them as a separate document with transparency which then can be imported and integrated in AI...

CS5 - Color difference between Photoshop and other programs

I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card.
I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
I have not changed the color profile in Photoshop. When installed it chose North America General Purpose 2 as default and I've left it there. I experimented with the other color profiles and while the color tone in Photoshop changes, there is still a difference when the image is viewed in another program.
Any help is much appreciated - I can't trust the program to handle color properly right now and until I can, I'm dead in the water.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. When I view the image on another computer or my iPhone, the image views properly. It's my photography, from a tree in my back yard. I know how the image is supposed to look, and right now it doesn't look right in Photoshop.
On my previous machine, I am almost positive that it was saving as sRGB by default as well. I don't remember what color profile I was working in, but I know that I did not have a color profile/space error pop up on opening new images, nor do I have that problem on other images saved on that machine that I'm opening on the laptop.

PAL Widescreen format between photoshop and After Effects

Hi, I wonder if someone else has bumped into the problem I have and has a solution. I am working with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro(all CS3 levels) to create a project using still and moving images. I am using PAL widescreen (16:9) format for the first time so have cropped my still images in Photoshop to 1024 x 576 pixels. Starting a new project in After Effects I chose PAL/Widescreen and set the resolution to 1024x576. When I bring in my images and drop them to the timeline they have the same height as the AE screen but are significantly shorter than the displayed 1024 pixel size. If I drop the images into Premiere they will size to 1024 x 576. Am I doing something drastically wrong here ?

Just to add to this, I am confused over exactly what is happening inside
After Effects with regard to interpreting PAL footage!
When you go to the Compositions Settings dialogue box there are two Presets
on the drop down list for non-square pixels; PAL D1/DV and PAL D1/DV
Widescreen.
Both comps are 720 x 576 pixels.
However when you go to the drop down list for Pixel Aspect Ratio the two
options there for non-square pixels are PAL D1/DV (1.09) and PAL D1/DV
Widescreen (1.46)
According to my calculations:
PAL 4:3 in square pixels = 768 x 576 (768 / 4 * 3 = 576)
Doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.07 not 1.09
768 / 720 = 1.06666666667
PAL 16:9 in square pixels = 1024 x 576 (1024 /16 * 9 = 576)
Again doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.42 not 1.46
1024 / 720 = 1.42222222222
If the Pixel Aspect Ratios given are correct then the Width of both
Compositions should be 704 not 720!
768 / 704 = 1.0909090909 which rounds up to 1.09
1024 / 704 = 1.454545454545 which rounds up to 1.46
Using the preset comp Width with the preset Pixel Aspect Ratios doesn't seem
to add up or am I missing something fundamental here?
Perhaps I should just import the footage using whatever Pixel Aspect Ratio
into a PAL comp with square pixels and then just use the fit to comp command
to make sure it really does fit!

Differences between photoshop and Flickr

Hi everyone,
There is my problem : I modify my picture in Photoshop CS4 and save it in Jpeg to the max quality. When I transfert my picture in Flickr, I loose some saturation, the colors are less vivid. I'd like to know if I do something wrong. There are in Attach Files my two pictures. The difference isn't so huge, but it's annoying. Thank you very much
Halychou

Definitely a color management issue, as noted above. Save for Web and Devices is one way to convert your images to sRGB for publication. However, it may be that you want to just work with images in the sRGB color space to begin with. This can simplify things in that you can just Save As JPEG and the image will be tagged with the sRGB profile.
A pertinent question: How are you getting your images into Photoshop such that they are tagged with a profile other than sRGB?
I know that the Adobe Camera Raw default is to convert to the Adobe RGB color space. If this is what's causing your images to be opened in Photoshop with the Adobe RGB color space, you should know that the target color profile is selectable in Adobe Camera Raw. Specifically, there's a link at the bottom center of the ACR dialog allowing you to select both color space and bit depth.
Also, in the Edit - Color Settings dialog, there are some checkboxes that you can set to have Photoshop warn you when you're opening a document in other than your preferred working space. I find it handy to have such warnings enabled.
Hope this helps.

Slowdown issue in Photoshop and Illustrator

I'm getting the spinning beach ball when doing various things in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm running the newest version of CS6 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. When using type tool (default Myriad Pro font selected) I get, "Beach Ball" sometimes for up to a minute, then it works fine. When switching between Photoshop and Illustrator, "Beach Ball" again for up to a minute, then I get the new document dialog. Upon checking the console messages I'm seeing these errors a lot for both Photoshop and Illustrator:

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Photoshop Elements and Lightroom software.

Does one have things the other does not?

Hi,
Lightroom is to manage photos and produce derivative images without ever modifying an original file. Its processing functionality has a narrow feature-set covering the most common needs of professional photographers whereas Elements is a simpler yet powerful photo manipulation tool. Elements is designed to satisfy the needs of photo enthusiasts who like to manipulate images.
You can also go through the thread to understand the basic difference between PSE and Lightroom.
Check if this helps.
Thanks,
Swapnil

Fireworks, Photoshop, and Illustrator

Hello,
I was not sure whether to post this in the Fireworks,
Photoshop, or Illustrator forums. The horrid design of the other
two forums, and the fact that no matter how much it was referenced
I could not find an Add Topic button (and yes, I was logged in)
brought me here.
The new replacement suite for Studio, CS3 Web Premium,
includes Photoshop and Illustrator. I know that Fireworks and
Illustrator both do vector graphics, but other then that, what is
the difference between the three? Why would I use all three when I
could get along with just one-is there a specific use for each?
Which might be better for creating a website comp?
Thanks,
Dylan
PS: Are there Adobe created tutorials on the software suite
available somewhere, like the Exploring Studio ones?

Yeah, the old Adobe forums are pretty nasty, aren't they? :)
These forums are pretty slow, though -- another reason some people
prefer using the synced newsgroups all around instead.
No problems posting it here, just don't be surprised if
everyone says Fireworks is the best. ;) Actually, each tool is
unique, best at what they do.
Everyone will tell you this, but it's really true: the best
way will be to download the trials of all three and give them a
spin. What sort of stuff do you want to do? Pick something, and try
to do it in all three, you'll find out which is better for the task
pretty quickly. Don't just throw some random shapes and text
around, that won't really give you a good feel of how a real
project would go down for you. Pick a practical project and do it
in all three.
That said, here's a summary of all three, in my opinion:
Illustrator: Advanced vector editing application, little to
no raster editing support. Powerful but very high learning curve
for most people. Illustrator targets print work, and is rarely used
for web work, though you can. It has many print specific features
that are meaningless for the web, and sometimes confusing and
misleading for web designers.
Photoshop: Advanced raster editing program, little vector
support(sometimes criticized as having no "true" vector support).
Powerful image manipulation abilties, has a medium learning curve,
but a lot of efficiency deficiencies in my opinion which can make
it frustrating to many beginners. Photoshop was originally for
print(and still is) but has developed some decent web oriented
features(exporting, slices, etc). However, it's duel print/web
feature set can get in the way of both when you are dealing with
one medium or the other.
Fireworks: Hybrid vector and raster editing application,
exclusively for web design(not print). Has all the basic features
of vector editing and raster editing combined in one very coherent,
seamless environment, but doesn't have the most advanced vector
features found in Illustrator or the most advanced raster features
found in Photoshop. Pretty easy learning curve. Fireworks is
designed especially for web and has been since the start, so has
many web centric features making it very focused for web design and
overall very intuitive to most web designers. For instance,
Fireworks is the only application of the three that has support for
multiple page documents, which is really useful for web design.
Hope that helps! I'm sure you'll get more responses.
:)
