Many design workers will be exposed to much software under the Adobe company. In addition to AI software and PS software. Another software is also indispensable. That is Indesign software. However, many novices find it difficult to distinguish the difference between these software. Especially Indesign and AI software. Because the functions of the two software are very similar. So what is the difference between these two software?
What is Indesign software?
Indesign is a professional typesetting software, referred to as ID software. Its layout control function is more abundant. It is suitable for a large number of text typesetting. It is mainly used in typesetting work.
What is AI software?
The AI software is called "Adobe Illustrator" throughout. It was released in 1987. It is a drawing software. Its main function is hand-drawn graphics. It can design and edit the creative ideas of the designer. It is mainly used in graphic design, poster printing and so on.
About 70% of the functions of the two software are similar. Such as horizontal and vertical grid tools, rectangular ellipse frame tools and so on. And because they belong to the same company. Even their design interface and toolbox are almost the same. So many users will confuse the two software. They don't even know under what circumstances they should use these two software.
In fact, the main difference between the two lies in typesetting and drawing. AI software is a professional drawing software. It also has a typesetting function. But if you use AI software for typesetting. It will have problems such as slow and unstable speed. So when you need to draw. It is best for designers to use AI software for design drawings. When a lot of typesetting work is required. You can cooperate with PS software and professional Indesign software for typesetting.
So most of the software functions are the same. Why not integrate these two software into the same software? If we integrate these two software into the same software. Although it may be more user-friendly. But because these two software have many functions. Integration will not only cause the software to occupy high memory. It also makes the response speed slow and easy to crash. At the same time, it will become more difficult for Adobe to maintain and upgrade the software.
Although the functions of the other two software are the same. But they all have their own advantages and characteristics. Users can choose the corresponding software according to their needs. If we integrate the two software together. It will increase the price. Thereby increasing the user's use cost.
Overall, ID software is a professional typesetting software. It can be used with PS. It is suitable for workers who need a lot of typesetting. AI software is mainly used to draw vector graphics. A small amount of typesetting can be done. It is suitable for the work needs of designers who need to do graphic design. After understanding the difference between the two software. Do you know how to choose design software?
