Adobe Photoshop Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Photoshop is essential to my photo editing, I love to complete retouching on all of the images that I shoot.

The amount of scratch disc space it takes to run the program can be frustrating.

Photo editing, retouching, taking my images to the next level.

I love how many functions are available to manipulate a picture or some graphic I am working on.

I hate when they come out with a new version of the program and a feature that i got use to using has either been removed or move so its like learning a whole new program.

I work for a school so there are all sorts of graphics that need to be created, edited, for many different purposes throughout the year. for example, posters for play, dances, fundraisers, yearbooks. plus we teach our students to use the program as well.

Where to begin? Photoshop changed my life more than any other software. As a kid, I used to play with Microsoft Paint on my father's office computer. In college, I learned that with Adobe Photoshop, anything was possible. So easy to manipulate photos, alter colors, and so much more.

It's not meant to use text, though a text feature is available. Rasterized text doesn't look great and is harder to manipulate after the fact.

I am able to manipulate photos with absolutely no issues at all. In one incident with a difficult bride who wanted her photos drastically manipulated, she asked that I 'photoshop someone's eyes open' (the person had blinked in the snapshot). It was no problem to clone stamp their 'open eyes' from another photo into the one for which she asked. She could not believe it.

The most helpful features in this software is easy editing of photo. It is the foundation for any business, you can build your brand image, create professional designs and logo. Be that as it may if these photographs are in the entirety of their quality they can be acknowledged much better. That is the manner by which my way to deal with publicizing photography started and presently thereafter to Photoshop. The program's tools and windows are very similar to any of the Adobe products which make the learning curve almost non-existent. I appreciate the helpful suggestions and tips that pop up during the initial use as well as the help tab if I have any other questions.

I have more control over Photoshop but a drawback could be that there are not as many templates and drop in elements that I was used to photo edit. The problem of Photoshop is in the begging they are tough tools to learn and learn how to navigate. Although Photoshop does include their own courses for users which can be very easy to follow and helpful. The other problem is I am unable to seamlessly fastening between Photoshop and illustrator which would help me create even more powerful graphics.

I have able to completely re-design my brand using photoshop. I have satisfy for my clients by creating content on their behalf as well and keep their social media pages updated. I make different design for management meeting and this is so easy once I've decided what the images will be.

Photoshop is my main tool when it comes to creating images and editing my photos. It has everything I could ever want in 1 package

It's hard to find a dislike with my favorite software... Its manly bitmap-based meaning larger file sizes, if you want to do design for print I would go the illustrator route but you can use it in collaboration with Illustrator which I normally do with "smart objects"

For making web graphics its a perfect package for me, also as I am an avid photographer Photoshop helps me enhance my photos with easy to use clone features, layering, contrast, and sharpness controls. it really has it all!

Editing photos is my primary use for Photoshop. I think it’s very user friendly and helpful tools if you need help.

The latest upgrade changed the way you scale a photo and don’t hold shift. It feels awkward since all of the other programs are still the same.

I can easily work on large photos and get the look I want.

Photoshop is like an old trusted friend. It's been with you and it continues to get better and better as time goes on. Every year, with more and more released versions, Adobe Photoshop continues to amaze me with the features that are added. Things that make the work more and more simple to complete. I am always surprised by what they come up with.

I was taken back mostly by the constrain proportions with shift change some years back. It's not that the change was made, it's that the change was made in Photoshop but not in any other program in the Creative Cloud. It really is frustrating. It should be consistent throughout the entire suite.

Adobe Photoshop doesn't necessarily solve a problem it is more of a needed tool in your drawer of tools when working on a design or other kind of project. Adobe Photoshop is so synonymous with editing a photo that it has become a generic word for editing even if someone is not using the Adobe software.

The ease of use interface, even for beginners. The use of AI and automated editing capacities, making the most complicated edits really easily. Photoshop has definitely unlocked the editing world up for me and my business, even without having a fulltime designer or being one myself.

It's very expensive. And there is no embedded help forms or tutorials. Help and support would go a long way in making this experience a lot better and centered around the customer.

Editing media for social media, clients' proposals and solutions, and for product's launches and roll out. The major benefit is not depending on someone external for edits, money-wise it's less expensive and I can do it immediately.

The vast amount of features filters macros tools brushes effects

There's absolutely that I dislike about Photoshop except the price tag

High level of detailed web graphics. A lot of tools for creative artists. Lot of ready to use effects. Provision for 3d - 2d conversion. Layering of final image

You can literally do/ make anything in this program (and the adobe suite as a whole)

Literally nothing. This program is the best.

Quick designing, editing and sketching.

One thing I love the most is the active tutorials that the latest photoshop offers. I was attempting to clone something recently and had never done it before, it prompted me to open a tutorial which you follow and do it within the photoshop system (normally I YouTube it!), I was able to learn how to do it on the job and it really helped me understand straight away. I like the easy integration with the other Adobe suite as I tend to use illustrator and indesign at the same time depending on what I need to create. I work a lot with stock imagery so photoshop makes it really simple to layer colours over images and transform it in the way we need it to stick within our brand guidelines.

Working with layers can be a bit difficult when you have to keep selecting the different layers to move things about. Also when saving the file down onto the computer, it's a bit clunky

We're able to bring a lot of our agency work that we outsourced in-house, saving us a lot of money as I am doing it now for the marketing team.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop for 7 years. The more I learn about this, the more creative I can be in my business. My work as a content creator and photographer would not be 100% possible without photoshop. The way it can make the photos artistic and flawless in post-production is stunning. I like how I can make a normal everyday picture into something artistic, bring out the colors, create interest and depth.

It will take a bit of time and patience to master this tool. As it's more like an artistic work, you will need a lot of practice to edit a picture without making it look edited. But if you can give the time and effort, this is truly the best tool for artists.

I can make the portraits look flawless and make them look editorial with Photoshop. I can also create abstract art, combine 2 more or pictures into something artistic, change colors, remove objects, or create something completely new & unique from something ordinary. I can realize my growth as a creative artist by using this tool

I like how Adobe Photoshop makes just about ANYTHING possible. The possibilities span from creation of branding media to fun photo edits of friends and family. Personally, I like how easy it is to create a template and use it for numerous brand needs. This has proven to be extremely helpful in our company.

It does take a while to learn the ropes with Photoshop. Fortunately, there are a number of tutorials and even step by step videos to help you learn along the way. I don't want to complain about how complex it is, because this is honestly one of the benefits to the software as well!

Creating branded material. As I previously stated, we have used Photoshop to create numerous templates for different branded material including logos, flyers, courses, and more. Once you have the hang of it, it is quick and the possibilities are endless!

I like how easy it is to use! The app has so many functions that allows me to full fill my tasks and edit my pictures the way I want them to.

There is not much I dislike, but the price. I wish it was free. However I understand the need to pay for it.

I am using it to edit my pictures. It is great with fixing lighting and colors. It is also easy to take anything extra or unneeded from the background.

As an amateur user it feels like Photoshop gives me great freedom to create amazing content with a professional finish.

It’s definitely a programme that takes a little time to get your head around, following a tutorial was essential for me to be able to use it how I wanted.

Adding a logo to my work in a flawless way, removing backgrounds from certain images, adding realistic shadows, etc, the list goes on.

Photoshop is the most useful creative tool outside of a pencil. I've used this program for over a decade and it's been a blast watching it develop into the beast that it is today. I use Photoshop for both conceptualizing potential ideas and finalizing true files. The amount of tools that can be used in Photoshop makes it the only program I will use in its class, and it's integration with programs like Illustrator keeps me an Adobe user for the foreseeable future.

It's tough to claim it as a dislike, but the stylizing effects that are offered in Photoshop still seem corny. While I love almost every part of Photoshop, I strongly believe that once the stylizing effects are made to be super realistic and manipulatable it will be truly mind blowing.

Photoshop is my favorite tool to help people conceptualize an idea. Due to most people being creatively challenged, Photoshop allows me to take my concepts and bring them to life which in turn allows my clients to understand the direction that I go in.

the ease of use and the clear interface which helps the user in being more creative. also it does hold a huge variety of tools. it accepts the import of external filters and templates

the high price of the subscription due to the need to join the creative cloud.

it helped me creating lots of brochures for my small business, also i did work for a while as a freelancer to get some cash on the side which helped me alot in my life

The software is well made, and very well optimized, it is a tool that is very convenient and is perfect for both new and experienced users, the instruments are quite practical and simple, the essential processes are easy to use by anyone. The image editor has new and sophisticated features, no matter how long you've been using Adobe you'll always learn something new. It can be worked quite fluently and easily thanks to the compatibility with various graphic editors, any questions users may have can be solved quickly thanks to the Internet guides provided by Adobe

To use Photoshop requires high-end equipment with great performance to be able to operate it and thus make the procedures fluid. Thanks to this it is more effective and convenient to work. Unfortunately, although it has excellent hardware, there are activities such as rendering large graphic files that take a long time, which can be frustrating.

This tool allows me both to create art, advertising banners, logos, covers for web pages and countless other things. I would not consider recommending this useful tool to people who have very little experience and knowledge in the area of computing, design and images, since due to its high range of tools and fast software it will be very diffcult for them to include it.

I LOVE Adobe Photoshop. It's a extremely powerful program that easy to use. This program can be used by beginners and professionals alike. I love being able to edit photos for advertisement, and personal use.

I don't like that you need to pay monthly to use this software in it's complete form. I love the free version, but don't want to pay monthly for something I will only use 5-6 times annually.

I've been able to use this program to create advertisement for my job, plus edit personal photos. This program makes combining photos and information easy.

The capabilities of the program and in-app training are amazing assets. I can undo a step any time or go back several. It gives me the option to save the new version separately and even allows me to make pictures/graphics that are better suited for web viewing.

The program does take a while to load completely. Whether using the desktop application or the web based. It is a hefty program in either case but I wish it did load faster.

There is often a few changes to be made to any graphic, photo, or image from its original state in order to use it in the way one would like, this application allows you to make the changes with ease.

And a Monster when you work it in mix with other Adobe softwares. If you need a versatile software to edit images, make some graphic resources, perpare template and Mockups for Social Media and Marketing posts. Photoshop is Your Perfect Alie. For mi de low learining corve in the first steps is the big point of photoshop, is like a big travel that you can stard with a small step. For image edition is the best option, is not a revelation software like Ligthroom, but have more options to make your photos greater.

Maybe, the dificult to work with vectors, is not Illustrator, but maybe Adobe can improve this. 3d options are really bad, Photoshop is a Swissknife but some options are lax.

I'm Doing: Image edition Mockups for Social Media posts Events Posters Rescale of pictures for website resourses Social media templates Correction of ligths and colors in old pictures (Escaned)

It’s great if you want to restore photos back to original quality.

It’s not really user friendly if you don’t know how to use it

If you have older photos and want to digitally restore them it’s the best for that

The ease with which the program is used.

The pricing can be a little difficult when on a budget

Being able to digitize my pen and paper artwork has been quite helpful.

Lots of really detailed functionality in this software, so you're able to do quite basic things with it or really complex, depending on your proficiency.

Not massively intuitive. Definitely a software you need to learn how to use.

We are able to keep our graphic design costs low by doing certain projects in house.

Photoshop has so many capabilities. I have been using it for close to ten years and have barely scratched the surface of what it is capable of.

Sometimes, I feel like Photoshop can do too much, to where it is more than I would ever need. And that makes the price a bit too high.

photo editing, cutting out backgrounds, generating ads for work, making graphics, design.

Reliability, extensive tools and options, robust tool for not just photos but effects, compositions, repairs, the cloud-based PS that was a painful transition, but Adobe delivers.

I used to feel like this: Only the older versions are standalone, so I weep for the day my old disks might get damaged. Now I feel like this: stuck in another subscription, but at least I get more than I pay for.

Non-destructive photo editing is the only way to fly, and Adobe has great videos for walking you through understanding layers, masking, clipping. Then also, rapid editing for clients who want quick edits to a site, and need specific elements of photos removed or added. PS makes it a 5 click job. Photoshop has every tool that might come up, unlike other photo editing applications, which have just the basics, photoshop allows me to remove certain colors at once, add frames, change resolutions and save stages of progress, use layers to hide/reveal to make decisions on different versions quickly.

mobile and tablet integration. synced libraries and cloud library

no perpetual licenses (renewable) and also add ons are not cheap

photoshop has a multitude of powerful manipulation tools like magic wand etc

I love the ability to customize images to fit our specific needs. With our branding, we get pretty specific in the colors we use and the fonts that we use, and I have honestly never found a better program to use than Adobe Photoshop. Most of time I am using this program for website and social media images, which demands a specific pixelation to fit the target destination. Photoshop makes it super easy to get exactly what I need, and with guides correctly placed, it makes it all the easier. Another things that I love about Photoshop is how easy it is to switch from digital media to print media. All I need to do is change a few settings and I can make exactly what is needed to send off to the printer to make a document, or send away to a professional printer for a banner.

As with most things Adobe, the learning curve is pretty steep when learning the program. I have been using this for over a decade now and I have barely scraped the surface on what can be used. Another thing that really annoys me is that it's a cloud subscription. I would much rather just pay for the product once and be done with it. I work for a non-profit organization, so the annual cost is a bit daunting.

We use Adobe Photoshop to help promote various events and several social media posts on the regular. Photoshop has made that very easy and accessible. Almost every time I need something done for content creation, Photoshop is my go-to program. Even though I would consider myself a novice, Photoshop has met almost all my needs.

The best thing about Photoshop is the number of available tools to edit images, the precision they have and the infinite number of layers with which you can work. This makes of Ps a software with which you can really do image work of the highest professionalism and quality. At the same time it is a program that does not need a high-resource computer, it can be handled well in a mid-range one.

It seems to me that Photoshop is an expensive software that leaves artists who are just beginning to work in the field out of the possibility of using it , as they do not have the necessary resources to pay for it. And on the other hand, the integration with 3d elements is not entirely successful.

With Photoshop I edit from my own images, recreational photos or images made by a hobbie, improving lighting and colors as the most basic; to image composition for projects. It is also very useful when you need to integrate image and typography, where the image has more relevance, and a vector quality is not necessary, therefore you can do everything in the same software without having to use Illustrator. But it is also an absolutely useful tool to use in conjunction with Illustrator to obtain high quality works, and thanks to the compatibility between both softwares, you won't have any problem with conversions.

We can use Adobe Photoshop as a Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Video Editor, and 3D Graphic Designer. As a graphic designer, we can design brochures, flyers, business cards, icons and lots of other things. As a web designer, we can design professional templates and mockups with awesome alignments. As a video editor, now we can import the videos and then we can edit them in Adobe Photoshop. As a 3d Graphic Designer, we can create 3d text and other 3d content from scratch to the advanced level. I use Adobe photoshop for my personal projects and also for the clients. So I really like all the things which I can do in Adobe Photoshop.

I don't think so there is something in the Adobe Photoshop which I disklike. Because every year Adobe increases the tools and features. As this year we can see the object selection tool and lots of other features. So according to my experience and point of view. Photoshop is awesome from every side.

I have done a hundred of projects using Adobe Photoshop. I edit my images in Adobe Photoshop. I am a web developer, so I always design the mockup of my website pages in Adobe Photoshop. I design brochures and flyers for my business marketing. So my overall experience with Adobe Photoshop is really incredible.
