Top Tier Image Editing Software

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: I've been using photoshop for both work and also personal use for about 18 years, and I can't imagine life without it. It's my favorite image editing software, and it's a must have for post production professionals.

Pros:

Photoshop is incredible software that is very useful for all kinds of graphics and image editing. The new AI Generative fill feature is very useful for saving time, it's super handy when you need something done quick.

I primarily use Photoshop on my laptop, but I do just wish they had a more fleshed out version for mobile devices than what they have out now.

great for high quality edits but it slow

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: I really enjoy adobe photoshop for high quality edits. I find that the slowness of the program has me editing elsewhere unless the project requires higher edits.

Pros:

I really like the high quality editing that you can do in Photoshop.

Cons:

- The program is really slow - I find with the new AI editing that the program is slower and glitches. This may be because my computer is older and needs an upgrade. - It takes some time to learn how to use all the features

Adobe Photoshop Review

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Great tools and features, but still questioning on how to utilize it by teaching myself. Perfect for people who are in designing.

Pros:

numerous great features. I can generate the highest quality of works through the Adobe Photoshop program. It is obviously a necessary program for people who do some art-related (designers, advertiser..) jobs for living. If you are familiar with every feature and know how to use it, it is the best choice for your design. But not for me.

Cons:

I was trying to get a refund because I do not want to keep the subscription due to the pricey fee for me, it was really difficult to get matched with a representative to help me to get a refund. It took forever and even after chatting with the representative, I still need to explain why I want to get a refund even though I haven't used Adobe Photoshop after the fee had been paid. There could be more students who think this program is a bit expensive and difficult to use. That is why I decided to stop subscribing to Adobe Photoshop.

Best for photo processing

4.0 last month New

Comments: I have been using photoshop for 5-6 years. I currently have a creative cloud subscription. I use photoshop on my desktop, laptop, Ipad and mobilephone. I have always enjoyed working in photoshop.

Pros:

I like how photoshop can be used to process all linds of photos. I have been using photoshop for processing photos in astrophotography and other genres of photography. Regular updates with new updates makes it even better.

Cons:

There are no one time purchase options. Subscription model is good but one time purchase is more preferable.

Adobe photoshop best software for presentation and photo editing

4.0 6 months ago

Comments: Generally, my involvement in Photoshop has been exceptionally sure. I've been involving it for a long time, and it's been perfect to perceive how the program has developed and extended over the long haul. While it tends to be perplexing and testing to learn, the awards of dominating the program are certainly worth the work. The capacity to make and alter pictures with such accuracy and control is really astonishing. What's more, I love the feeling of imagination and articulation that Photoshop permits me to investigate. Certainly a program has transformed me and my profession to improve things.

Pros:

There are such countless things to cherish about Adobe Photoshop, yet assuming that I needed to pick only one, I'd say it's the adaptability and flexibility of the program. It tends to be utilized for a great many errands, from basic picture altering to complex visual depiction. Also, with the tremendous choice of instruments, channels, and impacts, the conceivable outcomes are unfathomable. A program can develop and develop with you, as your abilities and requirements change over the long haul.

Cons:

While Photoshop is a strong and flexible program, it has its disadvantages. One of the greatest issues is the lofty expectation to absorb information. With so many elements and choices, it tends to be overpowering for novices to get everything rolling. And, surprisingly, experienced clients can find it trying to stay aware of the multitude of most recent highlights and updates.

A vital component of everday life in the office

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: Overall I enjoy using Photoshop. It does exactly what I need it to do... and I estimate that I only use about 10% of its capabilities.

Pros:

Other design programmes come and go, but I've been using Adobe Photoshop for many years now. In my opinion it remains the best in terms of the ease of use and its capabilities. Long may it continue!

Cons:

I can't say that there is anything I don't like about Photoshop. Maybe bring the price down somewhat, but that's it.

Expensive Software But worth it why dont it have one time pay option

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall Experience was really good but i don't like the price of this software as they have a subscription-based model i request them to make one one-time purchase
overall feature of this software is best of the best

Pros:

it's really easy to use and I liked the most about it is its really good AI capabilities that that added in the newer versions of it. it can really create pic in one go for this feature I must say a subscription can be also worth buying but if you are earning well from it then go for it

Cons:

As I have mentioned earlier i hate the pricing of this application I mean look if someone needs to learn it from scratch how are they gonna learn it and they do not want to spend money at first because they want to know more about this software although it has a trial period of 30 days but come on do you guys really think that someone can learn such a really complex software just in 30 days at least give it for free for students who dont want to upload on internet

Still the King!

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Super useful, powerful, and links with Lightroom for a seamless experience.

Pros:

There is nothing really like it - it has ALL the tools that you will ever need. Probably 50% of the tools I have never even touched. They have made it as user friendly as they probably can given how complicated the system is. The amount of online tutorials and YouTube videos that can help you learn is amazing.

Cons:

It is a steep learning curve if you have never used this or Lightroom before. Therefore, I would recommend going with Lightroom first to learn the basics in an easier to use platform before going to PS.
