What do you use? I find corel so comfusing! On the other hand i find illustrator great and fully co-operative with photoshop. For example you copy from illustratot to photoshop and vice versa but in corel you have to export, save the file as eps and then open with photoshop...Tell me your oppinion, i d like to learn what the rest of the world feels .

Illustrator is the industry standard, if you're busy in the graphical world you must have it.
Corel is nice and not so expensive, a good solution for companies which don't need to share files

I vote for Photoshop. (should we make this topic a poll?)
It has more many feautures.
About the price, my opinion is that in this case you get what you pay

I do not agree Nikolas, photoshop is great for photo's, filters and CMYK. Illustrator is great for illustrations and vector graphics.

Yeah you are right (I don't agree with my self? )
Photoshop is for raster only. Illustrator is propably the best for vector, but I use Flash for vector graphics, as I am too lazy, and I don't really need vector graphics editing for serious stuff
Hehe. I made your website....

Adobe Illustrator all the way. I think it is the industry standard for magazine layouts and print media. Photoshop is the other industry standard for graphics work that I know a lot of companies uses. Although for quick web graphic, I like Macromedia (oops, now Adobe) Fireworks because it is so easy and intuitive.

Well, I have used either, but I've heard great things about Corel and I haven't heard much about Adobe Illustrator.

I find Illustrator to be the one for me! I also find that a lot of signage printers use Corel; not sure why but I think it is because it has a larger work area.

corel is much cheaper than illustrator...

"...a lot of signage printers use Corel..."
yes they do. i had a tarpaulin banner made with a large format printer here and they require me to give my design either in corel or jpeg file. maybe that is what their machine is compatible. whereas an image-setter, used in making negative or positive film for offset or gravure printing require an illustrator file.

As you say, that depends on the program that the printing company has, but proffessional companies just want a vector format (corel, illustrator or anything else)
This of course has to do only with offset printing.
