Adobe Illustrator opens up almost all the possibilities that only a graphic editor can provide:
- professional photo retouching;
- drawing simple and complex objects from scratch, editing ready-made ones;
- working with a palette (you can not only use ready-made colors, but also mix your own, as if real colors);
- creating your own textures, gradients, mosaic types, etc;
- working with text (creating, shaping and changing the appearance, working with ready and user fonts, manual rendering, etc.);
- creation of multi-page graphic files, where each page can be handled as a separate object (but you can also use the same parameters for all);
- working with video (the functionality is reduced here, but still available);
- inclusion of raster objects into a vector file and working with them;
- conversion of some formats into other ones;
- working with 3D graphics;
- creation of custom artistic effects with the possibility of saving and applying them later;
- wide choice of various tools (including non-standard ones) for drawing and coloring;
- a wide panel of symbols;
- menu of diagrams;
- possibility to save the work in the required formats (for printing, for mobile devices, etc.).
Despite the bulkiness of the Adobe Illustrator tools, the program itself has detailed tips that help beginners understand all the functions and features. In addition, the official website has many detailed video and text tutorials on working with Adobe Illustrator, useful for users of any level of advancement.
