Adobe Illustrator CS3--overlapping circles?

Suppose you have two black circles. You overlap them. How can you make the intersection white? I don't want to use usual Photoshop techniques like masking, eraser tool, overlays--I'm wondering if there is a clean way to isolate the area and make it white. Thank you in advance for your help.

yes -
it's an options in Pathfinder (in the top menu bar Window->Pathfinder) you could use: Exclude Overlap, or Divide.

You would use Photoshop, not Lightroom, and not Illustrator. There's not a whole lot done to those images anyway, just some lighting effects, probably a little masking with layers, some color adjustments. These are all going to be jpegs, which is a common file type. Illustrator is vector art, Photoshop is raster, for anything photo based generally you'd use Photoshop.
