Perhaps the most common and most widely used design application for both print and the web is Adobe Photoshop. As we mentioned earlier, Photoshop uses the RGB colour mode as default, but it does have a lot of options for converting to CMYK and previewing how your design will look when printed using the CMYK process.
However, Photoshop documents are usually created in a raster format, which means that although the images might look crisp and clear when printed on a small flyer, they don’t always look that great when printed on a large billboard (depending on the resolution of your images of course).

What’s more, Adobe Illustrator defaults to the CMYK colour mode, which means that any designs created in the application will be perfect for sending to a professional printing company without any colour correction at all (in most cases).
As a result, Adobe Photoshop is often the application of choice for digital media whereas Illustrator is often used for printed media. Of course, there are other applications to choose from too.
