Graphic Design Software - The Battle

[taklamakan]

Adobe has nearly eliminated their competitors in most graphic design areas. In desktop publishing their main competitor to InDesign is Quark XPress (used to be very strong). In website design they have no competition at all, Microsoft Front Page does not mean anything now comparing to Dreamweaver. In illustration their Illustrator fights with Corel Draw, however most people are more comfortable in using Illustrator and that is why Corel looses its position. In photography there is only one king - Photoshop.

Are they any alternatives to Adobe programs? What is going to happen if Adobe becomes the most common graphic design software? By having no competition, can it maintain identical quality and drive for excellence? And what is going to happen to the price? Will it stay at the same level or simply continue upward. If you are the only one pizza shop in town, does it mean you can charge whatever you want for your double pepperoni?

Well, have you started learning Photoshop before any other program?? That's why you are saying it's easy to learn. because all other programs have different UI, so once you learn Photoshop why would learn another program...

yes Adobe has been ruling a good market in photography and tehre is a reason behind it, its because they are teaching people how to use their product. WHen i first used photoshop, i saw how difficult it was to do a minor editing which used to be simple in Photoimpact, but after a small learning curve it seemed easy there are lots of tutorials for all the softwares that adobe has and the community over the net is willing to offer a good amount of tutorial to all these softwares
