What programs are for what? When I first started using these applications I thought the same thing. There are so many! and I have no idea what they are for. Well here is the breakdown....
Photoshop: Easy Peasy! The most popular of adobe programs... photoshop. Generally used to edit photos or create photo graphics. Can also be used for creating website layouts.
Illustrator: This is the program I use the most for print design. However it is most noted for your ability to create vectors.
InDesign: Used for desktop publishing. Basically any really "wordy" documents or projects you work on should be done with InDesign. Or anything that is more then two artboards, for example booklets, programs, manuals, etc.
Premier Pro: Professional video editing.
After Effects: Create short clips of animation for either short videos or to be uploaded to Premier and incorporated into a movie.
OnLocation: For capturing video
Encore: For making DVD's or bluerays. (Creating the menus and writing the discs)
Soundbooth or Audition: Sound editing software.
Flash: For creating flash or animation for the web, mobile, or any applications.
Dreamweaver: Create and mangage websites or any html projects.
Contribute: Web publishing program that allows multiple users to edit the content of a website without extensive knowledge of coding.
Fireworks: Create and optimize images for a website.
