Hey guys

Between Photos & Designer, are there many more options available in Designer in respect of vectors when it comes to a very casual user ( not a designer)

Thank you

Hi Ranju 

If you are thinking of buying it, I think it's worth the money but it depends what you want it for. It's better for creating David Hockney type artwork. Photo is better for editing photos. 

There are a few useful extras for creating artwork.

There is the Pencil Tool which allows you to draw and sculpt (redraw) lines in a freehand way.  

The Vector Brush Tool for painting and later editing brush strokes. The brushes are actually pixel brushes, but you can change the shape of the path later.

The Corner Tool lets you round-off corners (plus different shapes)

The Transparency Tool gives several creative effects when applying transparency.

You can put text on a path, on a shape and so forth.

The Assets Studio is good to store and quickly put design elements on a page

Symbols means that if you create one object and use it several times, you can edit one object, and all copies of it will change.

Artboards allows multi pages on screen at a time. 

There are a few more options, but less useful perhaps for a casual user.
