Illustrator and Lightroom are both Adobe products, but different applications from Photoshop. Lightroom is primarily a photo storage and sharing service, but performs a few editing tasks such as color adjustment and filters (not nearly as many editing capabilities as Photoshop). Illustrator is a vector-based drawing application, it can also be useful for creating web graphics (and there are courses here that cover it) but it is not something you would use for editing photographic images.

For serious image editing, you'd want an applicaiton like Photoshop or Gimp.

I'm not sure what you mean by "which Photoshop". Do you mean which version of Photoshop? The latest is always preferable, but if you have an opportunity to get a a good deal on an older one, it would still be capable of most editing tasks.

If you meant to say "which editor", then I recommend Photoshop if it fits your budget. Otherwise, Gimp is a very good image editor and is free.

I was reffering at which type of Photoshop, because I've seen many types, like Ilustrator or LightRoom ... and I don't know which one fits my intentions.

Anyway, I appreciate the answer! Thanks!
