Using Photo with Designer


Recommended Posts

I am new to Photo and Designer and would like to hear when to use either program for the same project. For example, designing a two-sided business card that has color photos with type over them. should I use Photo or Designer for the text? Are there any conditions to watch out for? Like if the text is set in designer and the file is then opened in Photo then the type is rasterized and no longer editable.

In my experience, none of the vector shapes created in Designer are automatically rasterized when edited in Photo. Most of what can be done w. vectors in Designer can be done in Photo. There are some exceptions. You can't create or de-synchronize Designer symbols in Photo, but you can still do mass transform among the symbols. Designer has good abilities for adjusting bit-maps (photos, etc) but no ability to develop them from RAW files, or merge various edjusted layers into a single pixel layer.
