Is it worth the $175 difference between these two computers? i7 HP Envy/ AMD A10 HP Envy
The AMD version actually has a better display. Is the i7 that much better?
Software I plan on using: Visual Studio/Illustrator/Photoshop.

That's actually a difficult decision, especially with the work you're planning to do with it. Are you going to be using those programs often (hours a day)? Is its performance in those particular programs of the utmost importance?
I ask because the CPU performance will be the most important feature, and the 4700MQ's single-threaded performance is 50% better than that A10, and in multi-threaded applications, the 4700MQ would be close to twice as fast as the A10, and just a teeny tiny bit more power efficient.
What the A10 has going for it is the superior integrated graphics, hence the 1080p panel. It's a good option for an entertainment laptop (maybe even for very, very light gaming). It's a difficult choice, because the low-res screen kind of sucks for image-editing work but would give you far superior performance.
If we're talking about heavy editing work as part of your job, neither laptop is all that great of a choice. Does it have to be from Costco? Retail brick-and-mortar store models are often configured so strangely.
