One solution for simple jobs like brochures or business cards is to create the majority of the visual design in Photoshop, then import it to either Illustrator or InDesign to handle all text and logos. Since text will always print more cleanly in a vector format, Photoshop is not an ideal format for print jobs that are not images or photos. Moreover, because there are no vector limitations, manipulating images and graphics can be faster and easier. Making changes to vector graphics in a program like Illustrator can be more time consuming, as creating vector objects is often more complex. This is also why Photoshop has many more filters than Illustrator or InDesign.

Photoshop has a vast range of filters and color correction tools that are not available in Illustrator and InDesign.
