Adobe Photoshop vs Microsoft Publisher?
|
|
|
| I am wanting to do a business where I will need to print clear, crisp
pictures and have text right next to it and will need different font
sizes and color. Also will need to have divider lines. Will be using
bitmap and Jpeg pictures mostly.
Which is my best bet, photoshop or Publisher? I know photoshop cost a
lot more.
Thanks
Mark

I would not use either, I would suggest you check out Serif Page Plus
http://www.serif.com/PagePlus/PagePlus11/index.asp
This is desktop publishing at it's easiest and it includes fairly extensive
Photo manipulation software!

Photoshop is good for photo editing and manipulation, but IT IS NOT a
desktop publishing package which is what you indicated you need.

| Does MS Publisher have photo editing capabilities?

| No. But, then Photoshop doesn't have text capabilities worth beans. One is a
Photo editor the other is a desktop publishing program. You use one to edit
the photos you want to use in your publisher documents and you use the other
to layout your images with the text. They are not interchangeable.

Rubbish. While it's not a DT layout program, its text capabilities are
strong. The king is Illustrator.

InDesign works with PS quite nicely.

I agree with John. Photoshop and InDesign are the best combinations.
I've found that programmes that claim a mutltitude of functions are
rarely very good at them. Publisher is a desktop publishing programme,
not a very good one at that, while PS is for image editing and graphics
creation. So, if you want to publish a newsletter or something like
that, go with Publisher. Or, if your budget permits, go with Creative
Suite 2 which has Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat, etc.

Photoshop has strong text capabilities, as does Illy. Neither, tho, is
layout manager per se. That'd be InDesign, impaired top posting twit.

editing program.
