While you&#8217;ve probably heard of workspaces like Photoshop and InDesign, there are other useful options that can help you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workspaces of the different applications in Creative Cloud look similar, allowing you to easily move between them.

Photoshop works with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/image-resolution\">pixels<\/a>, while Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign work with vectors, so when <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/how-to-save-your-pdf\">saving a PDF<\/a> or using Photoshop, you will get a raster-based image for your final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the program was developed, it was mainly for photographers, but over time has grown to help all kinds of artists to do many different kinds of work. It\u2019s known to be so easy to use and offer so many features that it\u2019s considered a one-stop shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Photoshop is not the best program for all types of artwork and design. For example, you\u2019ll notice the difference between how a raster-based image looks and a vector-based image looks in Photoshop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&ixlib=php-3.3.1&max-h=266&max-w=555&s=710b1240399b9557d8eb1a76e67918bf\" alt=\"A raster image of two teal circles next to a vector image of a two teal circles.\" class=\"wp-image-27382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=555&amp;s=dd87a8cdaed03642e942c6bea0a31047 555w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image141.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=144&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=300&amp;s=ab982bc4a71d606c8f8f3c4a5ae86439 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"waypoint t-sink s-sink\" id=\"adobe-illustrator\">\n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe Illustrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=554&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1024&s=8596e2eecaec654c9345e71fe19fc47d\" alt=\"The Adobe Illustrator interface with buttons to create new projects and a list of recent documents.\" class=\"wp-image-29795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=554&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=1024&amp;s=8596e2eecaec654c9345e71fe19fc47d 1024w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=162&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=300&amp;s=43432e020c58de1a6b372bcccf1ab34e 300w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=415&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=768&amp;s=0d82bc395ef5fd0690f83730c3f52a8a 768w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/illustrator_interface_on_open.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.1&amp;w=1200&amp;s=4104bb43ca8d791a1bc1c730d94e3dab 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illustrator works with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/vector-graphics-vs-raster-images\">vectors<\/a>, or points used to create perfectly smooth lines. This program is for creating and editing vector-based work such as graphics, logos and other design elements. Vector images are scalable to whatever size you need, small or large, but have the same clarity and resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illustrator is not ideal for creating multi-page documents for an online printer and there are drawbacks to using the program this way. For example, you aren\u2019t able to set up master pages in Illustrator as easily as in Adobe InDesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a necessary tool when you\u2019re building documents that use templates.

You\u2019ve probably used it to read PDFs but not to edit or modify them. With PDFs being the universal printing software, Acrobat\u2019s Tools pane is immensely helpful for editing or modifying PDFs just like you would in design programs (just be sure to use a plugin called pitstop along with it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not recommended to create a file using the Tools pane, but it is nice for editing files and quick fixes before sending the files to print. You can see it in the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/show-accessibility-tool-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27387\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tools pane may be collapsed when you first open a document in Acrobat. To access it click on Tools in the menu bar and scroll to and select Accessibility. This will run an accessibility check on your PDFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experimenting with workspaces can help you create <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/print-ready-files\">print-ready files<\/a> easily and effectively.
