Photoshop vs Illustrator vs InDesign vs Premiere Pro – Which Adobe App Should You Learn First?
Hey there future creators! Starting with Adobe can feel overwhelming — so many amazing tools, but where do you even begin? If I had to start from scratch, this is exactly how I’d choose the first Adobe app to learn. My best Beginners Adobe course: https://skl.sh/3qMmiIh
In this video, we’ll talk about:
Which Adobe app you should start with based on your goals (social media, design, video editing, business, etc.)
How learning ONE app can make the others much easier later
My real advice after teaching thousands of students just like you!
We’ll break down:
Photoshop: For photography, mockups, editing, social media graphics
InDesign: For books, long PDFs, posters, layouts
Illustrator: For logos, illustrations, technical drawings
Premiere Pro: For video editing
After Effects: For motion graphics and animations
Adobe Express: For fast, easy content (like Canva!)
✨ Ready to keep learning?
If you take any of my beginner classes, you’ll find it much easier to move from one app to another!
Most students naturally build a learning path that makes sense for them.
