Opening a File
To begin editing in Adobe Illustrator, you must first open the graphic file you wish to edit. This can be done by clicking on File > Open and then selecting the desired file from your computer.
Understanding the Workspace
Once you have opened a file, you will see the Illustrator workspace. This includes a canvas where your graphic appears, as well as various toolbars and panels. Familiarizing yourself with these elements will make the editing process much easier.
Selecting and Modifying Objects
To edit an object in Illustrator, you must first select it. This can be done by clicking on the object using the Selection Tool (the black arrow) in the toolbar. Once an object is selected, you can move, resize, or rotate it using the control points that appear around it.
Changing Colors
Changing the color of an object in Illustrator is straightforward. First, select the object you wish to change. Then, in the Color Panel, select the color that you want. You can either choose from the preset colors or create a custom color using the color sliders.
Working with Text
Adding and editing text in Illustrator is also simple. To add text, select the Text Tool (the T icon) in the toolbar, click on the canvas where you want the text to appear, and start typing. Once the text is added, you can use the Character Panel to adjust the font, size, spacing, and other text properties.
