thanks...HappyGD..I wonder in creating business card..how can I put designs such as wavy lines etc..without surpassing the edge of card?..
I mean is clipping mask effective?..Because in Photoshop clipping mask is really reliable..but in Illustrator it's not as user friendly as it is compared to Photoshop..or perhaps I just don't know the techniques?>...

Yeah masks in Illustrator are applied differently in Illustrator, and are not as straight forward as Photoshop.

Hmm.. what you do is group the wavy lines together. Then use the rectangle tool to draw your edge of the card. Then select both the rectangle and the grouped wavy lines (make sure the rectangle is the most top object). Then Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
Hope that helps!

I don't think Photoshop is the best option, but I've use it every time when I have to make business cards.
The best software is the one you know to work best with.

I'd say InDesign but Photoshop would work fine as well, since there won't be any need for vectors. It all depends on the user's familiarity with each piece of software I guess.

but, when you want to make business cards and such things it is better to do it in illustrator as it will give you a better result in printing

i recommend you to use "Illustrator" and "Coreldraw".
those are vector apps means your project/image wont pixelate.

Illustrator and Photoshop both are very good for making business cards.
