Illustrator is a vector based graphics editor which is a part of several other media manipulation programs. Quite similar to one of an existing graphics editor in the same branding, Photoshop seems to have some sort of influence on the type of toolsets and processes there is in Illustrator. However, the difference is that Photoshop is mainly an image manipulation program compared to Illustrator which is a graphics designing tool. Adobe Illustrator is available in both Windows OS and Mac OS X.
