Red Gradient Spheres

Photoshop and Illustrator are both Adobe programs, yet they are very different. Photoshop is a really good program to use when you are looking to edit photos. Hence the name, Photoshop. Illustrator has a lot of tools that help to add special details to your creations. You can illustrate and create unique products.

The first picture shown on the right is my red sphere from Photoshop. It is very grainy and almost has a textured look to it. The shadow added to the sphere is also not as life like as the shadow made in Illustrator. The light source (white dot) has a blurred effect to it. There also isn't much of a difference in the values of the colors.

My Illustrator sphere is much more life like. It also does not have the grainy or blurry textured look to it. The highlight on the red sphere looks as though there is a real light source shining on it. The values in the changes of the colors are also gradual and more accurate.
