How to choose between PS and AI for portfolio layout?

PS is bitmap processing software, AI is vector graphics software, and ID is professional typesetting software. These three softwares complement each other. For landscape majors, the importance of Adobe software is PS>AI>ID. PS is used for general leveling, analysis drawing production and effect drawing processing, etc. It has the advantage of accurate color adjustment, but the disadvantage is that large files and image changes are not clear. AI is used to produce vector graphics in analysis pictures. The advantage is that there will be no jagged images when zooming in and out. The disadvantage is that the operation is slow and requires high pen technology. ID is used for final typesetting. The advantage is that it runs quickly and helps control the overall rhythm of the booklet. The disadvantage is that it is basically impossible to adjust the picture effect. As for the choice of portfolio layout software, there are the following two situations.

1. All pictures have been made perfectly and do not need to be adjusted. In this case, it is recommended to use ID to summarize the existing materials, edit the text, add simple page elements, and finally export to pdf. This is the fastest way.

2. The work is roughly completed, but the tone and style of the analysis pictures are not uniform. In this case, it will be smoother to use PS, that is, modify the pictures while typesetting, and control the effect of each page. If your computer configuration is high enough and you have plenty of time and you want to prepare an ideal portfolio, you can still learn ID and combine it with PS for the best results. Use the ID to build a portfolio framework, and simultaneously create pages of the same size in PS for single-page layout, and then put the psd into the ID while arranging. In this way, in the overall ID overview and PS adjustment of the pictures, the ideas are coherent and the style is unified, and it is not troublesome to modify. The most important thing is that whether it is a study abroad portfolio or a job application portfolio, there will be certain restrictions on the size of the file. After shrinking, the quality will be greatly lost, and the most affected one is the text, so adding text to the ID can ensure that the file size is Still clear in smaller files.
