Buying graphics and design software: from image retouching to print files
Retouching a product photo, drawing a logo, typesetting a twelve-page brochure: these three tasks are rarely carried out using a single programme. Anyone wishing to buy graphics and design software should therefore first decide which part of the design process actually needs to be covered – and only then consider which manufacturer’s licence to choose.
The range is divided into three categories. Image editing covers pixel-based work on photos and graphics, as well as PDF editing. Under Vector Graphics & Illustration, you’ll find programmes for logos, drawings and scalable graphics. Layout & Desktop Publishing covers multi-page documents – from brochures to technical documentation.
The licences are provided by Adobe and Corel and are aimed at agencies, marketing and design departments, print shops, photographers and individual workstations involved in design tasks. We offer perpetual licences, term licences and volume licensing solutions for educational institutions. You will receive the licence details digitally from LizenzDeals24, so you can start the installation shortly after purchase.
Image editing: photos, retouching and PDF documents
Pixel-based programmes are used wherever existing image material is modified: cropping images for online shops, retouching product shots, and colour and exposure corrections for entire photo series.
Photoshop and Lightroom for image and photo workflows
Adobe Photoshop for Teams is aimed at businesses where several people work on image material – from composition and retouching to preparation for print and the web. Adobe Lightroom CC comes a step before this and is designed for the management and development of large image libraries. In many photography workflows, both programmes are used in combination: sorting and developing in Lightroom, detailed editing in Photoshop.
PDF editing and document sharing with Adobe Acrobat
A PDF is the end result of almost every design workflow. Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 is available as a perpetual licence for Windows and is used for reviewing, commenting on, merging and sharing documents. For workstations with more modest requirements, Adobe Acrobat Standard 2020 for Windows is also available. The features included in each edition are listed on the product page and should be checked before purchase.
Vector graphics and illustration: logos, drawings and technical graphics
Vector graphics consist of paths rather than pixels. They can be scaled to any size without losing sharpness – a prerequisite for logos, lettering, vehicle wraps or large-format printed materials.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and CorelDRAW Standard
The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2025 combines vector illustration, image editing and layout in a single package and is available for Windows and macOS. For those setting up a single workstation with a manageable range of tasks, CorelDRAW Standard 2021 offers a more streamlined Windows perpetual licence for drawings, templates and smaller design projects.
Adobe Illustrator for vector work within the Adobe workflow
Adobe Illustrator for Enterprise is the right choice if you’re already working with Photoshop and InDesign and files are shared between the programmes. Typical tasks include logo and icon development, infographics, packaging design and illustrations for print and the web.
Technical illustration with CorelDRAW Technical Suite
Operating manuals, spare parts catalogues and assembly drawings have different requirements to advertising design: design data must be imported and translated into clear graphics. This is precisely what CorelDRAW Technical Suite 2025 Business is designed for. It is primarily used in engineering, technical writing and mechanical and plant engineering.
Layout and desktop publishing: creating multi-page documents
As soon as text, images and page numbers come together, design becomes typesetting. Adobe InDesign for Enterprise is the standard tool for magazines, catalogues, annual reports and brochures – including sample pages, style sheets and print data output.
When editorial and graphic design teams work in parallel, Adobe InCopy for Enterprise is also used: text is edited whilst the layout is being built. Adobe FrameMaker for Enterprise is designed for structured technical documentation with a high degree of reusability and XML output – a tool that is at home in technical writing and documentation departments.
Windows, macOS and mixed workstations
With graphics software, the operating system is tied to the licence and cannot usually be changed retrospectively. The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2025 is available for Windows and macOS, whilst Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 is offered as a separate licence for Windows or macOS. CorelDRAW Standard 2021 and the Technical Suite are Windows programmes.
In mixed environments, it is worth deciding which workstation uses which platform before placing an order. For newly set-up Windows computers, additional bundles are available that combine a graphics licence with Windows 11 Pro.
Which solution suits which requirements?
The following overview matches the programmes to typical use cases:
- Photography and image editing: Lightroom for reviewing and developing images, Photoshop for detailed editing of individual images.
- Agencies and marketing teams: InDesign for layout, Illustrator for vector graphics, Photoshop for imagery – as Team or Enterprise licences.
- Individual workstations and small businesses: a perpetual licence for the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite or CorelDRAW Standard instead of multiple individual subscriptions.
- Technical writing and design: CorelDRAW Technical Suite for illustrations based on CAD data, FrameMaker for structured documentation.
- Editorial collaboration: InCopy to complement InDesign, so that text and layout can be produced in parallel.
- Schools and educational institutions: the Corel Academic Site Licence as a volume licence with a twelve-month term.
- Pre-press and document approval: Acrobat Pro for reviewing, annotating and sharing print-ready PDF files.
