    It is the only tool that I use to create logos. It gives me the flexibility to create sharp text and marks and they can then be resized at will, color changes in a second and perfect way to export. I know that some people use Illustrator for document layout, it is not ideal. While I can easily create documents here, it really is InDesign that is the perfect tool.

    We have used Topaz Gigapixel AI and recommended it to many friends, peers, and colleagues in the industry. We do this because we have had great success in using Topaz Gigapixel AI on landscape images to increase the quality and clarity of terrain and geographical features that play an important role in conveying the 'grandness' of a location - yet needed that extra boost that Topaz Gigapixel AI is able to provide. We've used Topaz Gigapixel AI to successfully and beautifully upscale and sharpen portraiture photography where it is imperative to capture the ultra-realistic essence of the person, their character, the beauty as well as their imperfections. That's what's great about Topaz Gigapixel AI, it doesn't 'mask' or 'make things up' that aren't there. It simply makes them all better. We have great equipment and excellent craftsmanship, however, having tools on hand like the Topaz Gigapixel AI software is a no-brainer for us to use in our work. It helps us make great work even greater. And that's everything we can hope for in focusing on real people in our photographs. Trust the process. People will recognize and call it out if you get something wrong. Yet, no one says a thing when it all looks so good that that is all they can focus on. Well, that's exactly why we use Topaz Gigapixel AI in our day to day workflows.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • It's tough to master. If you haven't used Adobe products like Photoshop or Illustrator before, there is a lot to take in.
    • It would be great to have some better options to preview the final product if you're creating a multiple page document.
    • Better integration and pricing points with Adobe Stock for the useful stock images to complete your projects.

    While Adobe Illustrator CC is one of the only true design software out there, it really stands heads above the other products. It's clean UI and menu structure is easy to navigate.

    Usability

    There's a bit of a learning curve to this software vs other similar tools that can take some time to learn and get familiar with but the amount of functionality that Adobe Illustrator CC offers is quite large compared to simpler tools.

    I normally already know how to do whatever I'm trying out, but the documentation (as well as a simple Google search) makes any question quick to resolve. The Adobe boards themselves are a fantastic resource, especially for resolving questions between new programs and iterative releases.

    Topaz always responds to my questions in a few hours or a day at most. They've been able to explain their answers and give detail I needed to complete my work. Their instructions are quite clear and easy to use. I haven't had to reference any third-party support sources to get answers.

    I chose Rhinoceros 3D because it is accurate to make drawings in it and it is better to make drawings in Rhinoceros 3D and then put them in Adobe Illustrator. But while printing or scaling it is much easier to put it in Adobe Illustrator. This makes the whole printing aspect of it much easier.
