Photoshop:

Adobe Photoshop is a brilliant peice of software for modifying images or graphics, like photos. Photoshop is by far Adobe’s most popular and well know programme. Raster or bitmap graphics are created in Photoshop. If you zoom into a photo or grahic created by photoshop the lines will be all jagged this is because raster images are made up of individual colored squares, known as pixels. Everything in Photoshop is just a series of pixels, so if you're scaling something up or down, it can lose its quality very quickly. Photoshop is a popular choice for web graphics, photo editing and designs since those projects will stay at a fixed size. Editing photos is probably the main reason photoshop was created thats why it is brilliant for it! There are so many tool that can help edit images, pretty much every publication will use photoshop to edit or just to sharpen up the images.

Illustrator:

Adobe Illustrator is an advanced vector-based software. In Illustrator, a line is composed of two dots connected by a computer algorithm, instead of just a line of pixels. Because of this, Illustrator is used often to create logos or anything that may need to be printed or displayed at different sizes. A vector graphic will never lose its quality if it's scaled up or down. Illustrator will also give you a better print output since it's not resolution dependent. A drawback of Illustrator is that it can't be used easily to modify images that are already created, since there are limited filters and image editing tools available to you.
