    I’m not familiar with the full range of Adobe products. What are so the abbreviations? And what do they do?

    • Ps: Photoshop (raster photo manipulation, painting)
    • Ai: Adobe illustrator (vector photo creation and editing)
    • An: ?
    • Id: InDesign (print layout?)
    • Substance: ?
    • Lr: Lightroom (RAW image processor)
    • Xd: ?
    • Au: ? (Looks like a digital audio workstation based on the alternatives)
    • Pr: ?
    • Acrobat: PDF editor (there must be more foss alternatives… Though I don’t know the full range of acrobat functionality)
    • Bridge: ?
    • Dw: Dreamweaver? (Code editor, didn’t know this was still around)
    • Ae: After Effects (video editor)

    I’m also curious which of these Adobe products are considered best in class for professionals. Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Acrobat probably, the rest of the products I know about have more widely used competitors.
