Hello, from my view is the best option Adobe Illustrator in combination with Adobe InDesign.

I think Photoshop is the best one

There are other question like yours, sir. I think they are so useful

Power Point

Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator & PowerPoint are good for attractive graphical abstracts. Inkscape is the free software. Here are some graphical abstract tutorials for scientists on my channel DrawBioMed. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaj-dnHpfViQRv9-vQFl4Jw. If you have specific questions about certain structures, welcome to ask me in the comment section.

PowerPoint is easy to use for quality graphical abstracts.

below links will be helpful to understand the PowerPoint for graphical abstracts.

I usually use coreldraw, however, I would recommend you to start with adobe illustrator. It is more user friendly (in my opinion) and has more features. The only reason I use corel is because I paid the license fee. Powerpoint can help you a lot, but those two (corel and adobe) give you more freedom of creation, although it is more difficult to get used to. Nowadays, I even use corel to ajust my data and graphs, so I really think it is important to learn how to operate this ilustrator softwares to improve your manuscripts.

Hi, A. Rezvanivand Fanaei!

I would recommend Mind the Graph (mindthegraph.com)! The main advantage is the huge library of scientific illustrations.

I really liked the advice provided by this page: https://www.animateyour.science/post/how-to-design-an-effective-graphical-abstract-the-ultimate-guide

Using this advice, I had the graduate students in my graduate skills course prepare graphical abstracts on their thesis research projects. They used Powerpoint and they came out well.

You can combine three programs for creating an amazing TOC. (i) Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects; (ii) Free 3D Modeling Software | 3D Design Online - SketchUp; (iii) Finally, the found and/or modeled object can be edited in the PowerPoint.

I like using procreate (on Ipad with apple pencil) to draw parts of the graphical abstract and putting everything together on powerpoint!

There's also the licensed one: https://biorender.com which has a vastly optimized graphical abstract elements, however its paid for publication.

I always use a PowerPoint slight to put everything together and then save it as a .jpg or .tiff file

Hi! if you want to create attractive images during Statistical analysis, than XLSTAT, Prism, OriginPro are best option. However, if you intend to demonstrate some processes, structural illustration than Adobe Illustrator is a good choice. Attached is the Illustration I have produced using adobe illustrator in one of my paper.
