June 23, 2007 at 02:21How I Loved Adobe
It all started corny - friends constantly poked me into the fact that I absolutely do not understand anything about the charms and power of this magic word "Photoshop" ... And one fine summer evening I decided! I remember then it was Adobe Photoshop 5.0. I must admit honestly, at first it seemed to me that I would never really understand the Tao of the art of working with photographs ... Yes, and I didn’t have a camera as such then ... The only thing that kept me from not closing the window was my strange gravitation to everything unknown :)
Yes Indeed, the programs of the years of the past cannot be compared with those existing today. Take at least the modern CS3. But this, in principle, is not about that. I would like to talk about why I liked Adobe products so much.
So, comprehending Photoshop, I gradually began to become interested in similar software products. The next work from Adobe, which caught my eye, was the editor (I would even say a studio) of Adobe After Effects. Honestly, at first I didn’t even understand why this miracle of collective reason is intended :) Everything comes with experience ... And now, finally, I got my own digital video camera! This was a turning point in my relationship with Adobe products. Then I learned about Audition, which the corporation safely bought right before I met him, and Premiere, which, in fact, I use very often now. And the result of all of the above is the fact that Adobe, throughout my “creative” path, safely supplies me with everything I need, and it seems to me that sometimes it even reads my mind.
So, in order. I think it’s not worth explaining what Photoshop is and what kind of muses it serves :) If we don’t talk about all kinds of tools for working with graphics, I really like serious integration with the Web in this product, and even such a nice little thing as the “Video” section »In the filter list.
Audition - in a word, cute :) Most often I use it for sound editing for my home movies. And whatever you say, I’ve never met a better tool for these purposes. Ability to work with multi-channel sound (including 5.1). A large, and also expandable, collection of filters and effects. And, as you know, high-quality voice acting of the film is 50% success.
Premiere. “There is nothing better in the world ...” among semi-professional editors of non-linear video editing for home video. Here you will find professional color grading, masking in all kinds of ways, the ability to create compositions with complex effects, and even working with sound, and rich export options to the most popular formats ... you won’t list everything ... The only thing is that today I don’t have the option to smoothly change the speed video playback, such as in After Effects or Sony Vegas. But, hopefully, this time Adobe will “read my mind” :)
After Effects- this is where the flight of fantasy is not limited to sets of standard effects and transitions, as is the case with ordinary lay editors like Pinnacle Studio. In general, After Effects allows you to prepare materials for printing, digital photography, digital video and audio, and even 3D animation! But nevertheless, I believe that “Photoshop for dynamic images” is a more suitable definition for this product.
And in conclusion of this list I would like to mention my beloved Encore DVDall from the same Adobe Corporation! This DVD authoring program plays an important role in the home video production chain. Everything related to the final format of the film and its soundtracks, the menu and its logic, the division into parts and chapters, is solved here. I admit, sometimes I cheat on Encore DVD, and use DVD Lab PRO to solve more complex problems. This in no way makes Encore DVD the weakest link in the chain, as he regains his position thanks to the main principle of all Adobe software products - a high level of "cohesion" and interaction with each other. At this stage, such interaction is carried out by linking at the level of objects, i.e. from one application, you can call another to edit a project element. For example, a DVD menu sheet for an Encore DVD can be completely drawn in Photoshop,
I am sure that this will not end my acquaintance with Adobe products, because there are still a huge number of them for "self-expression". For example, Adobe Illustrator. Well, to everyone who wants to capture their memorable events, moreover, preserve vivid memories forever, I advise you to quickly join the circle of Adobe lovers :) and share your impressions and, of course, experience in the future.
