Adobe Illustrator has long been the choice for illustration professionals, designers and anyone who wants to work with infinitely scalable vector graphics.

The latest edition of Adobe's world-beating image-editor boasts some impressive new features - and a new user interface to boot.

All the key reviews from Adobe's latest design, video and web offering including Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Flash, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Flash Pro.

Adobe Lightroom is an attempt to bring the two functions of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop Elements together, so that you can both organise your photos and edit them within a single application.

This tablet app version of Adobe's market leading photo editing software, Photoshop Elements, is now available for Android tablets and iPads.

Would you pay $5.99 (about £3.80) per month to access your photos across all your devices?

Photoshop Elements is a great tool for amateur photographers, but how much more can Adobe add?

Is the latest version of Adobe's image-editing program worth the upgrade?

Are its lightning-fast workflow and editing tools worth the price?

With clever new features and 64-bit operation, the impossible is quicker than ever

It's in a class of its own, but is the vector package moving in the right direction?

The king returns: Adobe Creative Suite 5 is everything an artist needs in one (pricey) box

One of the best-value packages available but is it worth upgrading to the latest version?

Photoshop is one of the few applications that stands alone in its market. There may be other ways to edit images – photographers have Adobe's own Lightroom and Apple's Aperture – but nothing matches Photoshop's breadth and depth of features.

Apple’s Aperture development team must be furious. No sooner does it release a shiny new version of Aperture that works nicely and runs quickly, than Adobe announces that it too is updating its RAW image editing and cataloguing app.

Adobe Lightroom is a new type of photo application, combining image editing with image management for keeping track of photos. It's more efficient than using two different programs.

The digital SLR has brought high-quality photography to the masses; we're all out there, clicking away, producing shot after shot of high-quality RAW files, and yet when it comes to sorting and editing this veritable torrent of images, what do we do?

Powerful photo-editing software normally comes with strings attached, in the way of high prices and steep learning curves. Unlike the full-blown edition of Photoshop, which costs nearly £600, Elements is the most mass-market editor on the market

One can be forgiven for thinking that free software is only ever, well, free because it's not really good enough to sell. However, if ever there was a program to change your mind then it's Adobe's Photoshop Album Starter Edition, which is now in its third version.

Photoshop Elements 5 benefits from an excellent photo organiser, smart enough to detect and remove red-eye as it imports your images. It's supremely easy to tag files, organise them into collections and find the shots you need.
