Is Adobe Photoshop is best or Adobe Illustrator?

Answer:
It depends entirely on the project - Photoshop is an image and graphics creation and editing tool, based on pixel files. Illustrator is an original artwork and design program that is based on vector files. The difference is that vector files can be resized without any loss or change in resolution. The easiest way to view the 2 is to imagine Photoshop as a digital tool for photographers and artists creating digital images, and Illustrator as a digital program for painters, sketchers, print artists, etc.

Both programs are powerful in their own respect, but only in respect to the project at hand. For example, Illustrator is great for making print brochures, magazine layouts, original art, etc., but it can't edit photos or similar images. Conversely, Photoshop is the program if you're looking to work with digital images, but it's not for making print publications.
