### "Photoshop is the best software for image editing and photo manipulation in the world."

November 2, 2022

5.0

I can't live without photoshop, the best image editing software, our team depend on it daily.

Pros

I have 12 years of experience using photoshop as a graphic desingner, I love that photoshop evolve every year with new featured that make work more easy to do, especially selection tools they evolve very fast, still need some adjustment but i can see that selection is easy with the new last version every year and I love the improvement, I prefer using photoshop in all photo editing especially when I'm working on a book cover or a website design or a mockup to present my work. for me, photoshop is the best software for image editing and photo manipulation in the world.

Cons

The lake of good templates and sometimes the bugs and memory consumption especially in big files, even when i'm using the last Macbook pro, still have some problems with huge files.

### "Photoshop My life saver"

February 24, 2022

5.0

An absolute breeze to work with, smooth and fast (depending on specs of PC) . You will never go wrong with this software.

Pros

Everything about this software makes you want to use it, there are similar softwares available but non so advanced as Photoshop. This software has taken my business to new levels

Cons

The new features require some knowledge, which is not clearly explained on the FAQ, or help, but easly solved by watching youtube videos and learning abit more.

### "Basic or advanced, one of the best editing programs."

July 26, 2021

5.0

In general it is one of the best investments I have made, in terms of time and money, the capacity you have to edit and create with the programme is only limited by your own creativity, the evolution of the software and the progress it has made over the years, I have spent almost 8 years seeing how everything is changing towards new trends without losing the basis of how we learned to use the programme and its main tools. Although there are things that I have not been able to use over the years, I have seen the capacity of these tools in other fields. Perhaps there will come a time when their accessibility may be greater not only in the areas in which they are used but in its cost.

Pros

Its ease and speed of learning to use it and its extensive capacity for the creation and editing of a wide range of graphic content. Its incredible evolution over the years and personally being able to create basic projects from school to a professional one where I could get an economic gain from it, is something that gives you personal satisfaction.

Cons

I think it is a common thing to hear, the accessibility to the product in its economic sense is very problematic, although in the last years as a professional its price has not been a problem for me, during my career it was something I struggled with a lot. And if I had to choose one unpleasant detail it would be its auto-save and the terrible moments I had to go from having it all to losing every advance I had made in my work.

### "Adobe One-Stop Photoshop!"

August 31, 2021

5.0

I have a myriad of cutting edge tools at my disposal at any given time plus the program offers unparalleled editing features that work wonders on my projects.

Pros

I like the new Sky Replacement feature which works with the Adobe Sensei A.I, the Pattern Preview feature, the Neural Filters, the list goes on and on. Photoshop really stepped it up with their new release, giving us creatives a ton of features to delve into and have total fun with.

Cons

The program does consume a lot of space on my computer, understandably so. It is a bit expensive if I compare it with other photo editing software and it is not as easy to learn if you are a true new beginner.

### "Endless Customizations and Tools"

April 17, 2022

5.0

I really enjoy using Photoshop and have gotten the hang of it, though there is plenty I do not know and have yet to learn. It seems there are endless tricks and tips to encounter as I continue to work on it. A bit pricier than competitors, it is still the first image-editing software I think of.

Pros

I love how many options there are when it comes to editing and creating designs. It seems endless, the power we have to fix up photos, to create new things from scratch, and then save them however we need. It's a fantastic household-name tool. I love as well how it can work hand-in-hand with other programs like Illustrator, allowing users to go back and forth between the two.

Cons

It can be pretty pricy, and it would be useful to be able to share more things in a "cloud" type setting with others users. For the cost, sharing should be less limited. The app as well seems to give fewer and fewer resources to those just starting out, making it a more expensive option than some others out there.

### "The best software for professional photo editing"

May 16, 2022

5.0

Pros

There are many pros to Adobe Photoshop. One of the most popular reasons people cite for using Adobe Photoshop is its ability to easily edit photos and graphics. Additionally, it offers a wide variety of tools and features that can be used to create professional-looking images. Finally, Adobe Photoshop is often cited as being one of the most versatile photo editing programs on the market. It seamlessly integrates with other major Adobe products, making advanced workflows easier.

Cons

Adobe Photoshop has some cons that users should be aware of. First, Adobe Photoshop can be resource-intensive to use and can take a long time to load in certain circumstances. Adobe Photoshop is often expensive to purchase outright, with monthly subscription fees also common. Finally, Adobe Photoshop is known for its heavy reliance on plug-ins - which may not always be available in all versions or platforms of Windows or Mac OS X. It can quickly become overwhelming because it's extremely feature-rich, but for the advanced workflow, you need to comprehend how those features interact with each other.

### "La herramienta escencial para todo diseñador gráfico"

June 7, 2022

5.0

El mundo del diseño tiene un antes y un después de Adobe Photoshop, epecialmente para aquellos diseñadores como es mi caso que venimos del diseño cuando se lo hacia en forma manual, cuando teniamos que ilustrat o diseñar a mano y cuando se requería ahcer uan correción a la pieza o a la ilustración debíamos repetir completamente el trabajo. La facilidad y versatilidad que photoshop ofrece para el retoque y la creación de imágenes en formatos profesionales.

Pros

Desde el lanzamiento de PhotoShop en su vesión 1.0 una de las fortalezas ha sido que es uno de los softwares más intuitivos, versión a vesión ha ido mejorando lo que ha permitido que en la actualidad sea un programa que lo puede usar desde un niño hasta un profesional en el área de la comunicación visual o diseño, a pesar de la complejidad casi todos los equipos actualmente pueden trabajar de una forma fluida en este programa, desde archivos en baja resolución pra la web como imágenes profesionales en alta resolución para impresión o piezas publicitarias de gran formato.

Cons

El precio es lo que menos me atrae de este programa a pesar que ahora con el pago anual de suscripción es más económico antes cuando uno pagaba el precio por la compra del sofware de forma individual me permitia instalar hasta en dos equipos con la misma licencia es decir lo pudia usar en mi desktop y en mi laptop cuando estava fuera de la oficina. Ahora este beneficio no es posible, Además que debo estar concetado par apoder usar todos los beneficios del software.

Porque es completamente superior tanto en manejo como en calidad con otro software especilamente para los usuarios de Mac.

### "Photoshop es mundialmente conocido pero muy difícil de usar"

October 24, 2022

3.0

Hemos implementado su uso para poder hacer banners, o editar fotos, o hacer tarjetas personales, pero cuándo se complica, he tenido que pagar a alguien especializado para que lo haga, o usar una imprenta porque adobe Photoshop es muy difícil entender.

Pros

Lo uso para editar fotos pero lo hago muy a nivel amateur porque hay tanta ramienta que no he aprendido usarla y me han dicho que es necesario hacer un curso para poder ser un editor de fotos experiente.

Cons

La contra a destacar, es que es muy difícil de usar, difícil de entender, difícil de poder identificar cada ramienta, difícil poder llegar a un conocimiento más avanzado sin que alguien te lo explique.

### "Why you might want to start using Adobe Photoshop if your're a Designer."

September 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

I personally love most about the software is the amount of ease it creates especially for designers. Whether it be designs for clothing, editing images/photos, graphic design, UI design, or making templates. Photoshop has many features that can give you a head advantage compared to other softwares. Freedom of design would be something I will title this software for.

Cons

Photoshop is a great product and I would recommend designers to at least try it out. Although nothing is perfect, and I still have some UI issues with it or setting up the arrnagemnt of the UI. For example the 3D feature or Photoshop tools icons glitch often which creates a uneasy time for me. Although it doesn't have a huge effect whatsoever.

### "Are you ready to dive into Photoshop ?"

March 6, 2022

5.0

When I put the title ( Are you ready to dive into Photoshop ? ) , I'm not lying to you about it, from the experience of 7 years of using it, I put it to you in these sentences and words that are not enough to express the contents of Adobe Photoshop that have much more features.

Pros

Every time the new version dazzles us with features that the mind can not think of from imagination , because through the old versions, we didn't see the AI in the program as strong these days which saved us a lot of time as users . It is necessary to point out that it is very easy to handle the program and learn quickly with little effort . The fonts provided by Adobe Photoshop are very cool, I have not seen better than them in other programs in terms of types of fonts, so your design becomes much better than using other programs. Proofing down to the smallest detail is one of the things I love about Adobe Photoshop, because you can change, delete, and add in a way the other party wouldn't believe without knowing that the images had changed. I have to mention that 3D has become one of the most powerful features in Adobe Photoshop, you can not only use it in fonts, you also use it in images, which makes it stronger and more powerful. The program made it easier for myself many problems that I encountered and I will face in the future, and I am sure that in the new versions there will be surprises that I will not be able to believe.

Cons

The only thing that distinguishes Adobe Lightroom from Adobe Photoshop is copy-and-paste to adjust colors with one button and groups of images at once I wish Photoshop had this feature like Lightroom, because at that time the program would be complete and flawless.

### "Evaluando Ph Photoshop"

October 18, 2022

5.0

Considero que esté software esta muy bien logrado, más allá de los puntos que marque anteriormente. A mi, personalmente, siempre me ha servido para hacer modificaciones generales y puntuales, presentaciones bien resueltas, con acabados más que profesionales. Sus múltiples y variadas herramientas, siempre dan respuestas a los problemas que los diseñadores tenemos que resolver. Ph es pionero en la industria del diseño gráfico, y junto con Ai Illustrator, son productos que te permiten lograr diseños increíbles (después de todo, si uno lo sabe usar, se pueden modificar hasta cualquier rasgo o parametro físico, en una persona).

Pros

La función de enlazar para poder quitar fondos, o retocar ese detalle puntual, sin modificar el resto, es increíble. Me sirve mucho para poder generar "máscaras", editando lo que necesito con mucho detalle, sin arruinar (por error o descuido), toda la imagen. Aparte, trabajar con capas, me permite tener el control de colores, modificaciones, intervenciones, sin afectar la imagén principal.

Cons

Es un programa que necesita un aprendizaje previo, entrenamiento (mucho uso para familiarizarse), y suele ser engorroso cuando no sabemos como hacer una acción. Es complejo, y muchas veces, muy puntual, llevando a que sí uno no tiene idea de como realizar el trabajo, pierde tiempo buscando tutoriales (o nunca termina nada, migrando a otro software más comprensible). Debería ofrecerse herramientas de diseño, según el nivel de experiencia de uso que cada usuario tiene (principiante, medio, experto, etc.)

Al principio, utilizaba programas de menor complejidad, uso más fluido, guiado y práctico. Pero con el tiempo, las especificaciones de diseño se hicieron más avanzadas y puntuales. Es por esto que, Ph con todo su potencial, me permitió lograr resultados más avanzados y completos. Eso sí, tuve que dedicar buen tiempo a aprender del mismo, sus herramientas, modos de uso, entre otras cosas. No es un programa que a la primera, se puede utilizar como cualquier apk simple en un dispositivo móvil.

Me permite personalizar la información gráfica que presento en capacitaciones y exposiciones en general. Al organizar la información en capas, optimizo mi tiempo re utilizando imágenes ya editadas y colocándolas en un nuevo proyecto. Esto es muy útil sobretodo cuando se trabaja con banners, logos y branding de una empresa.

Pros

La facilidad con la que se pueden editar fotografía e imágenes en general. La libertad que permite el programa al momento de diagramar y crear diseños en general. Lo compatible que es con casi todos los programas de imágenes.

Cons

El precio para adquirirlo es bastante elevado. Además, si no cuentas con una computadora potente, es difícil de manejar el programa.

My experience using this software has been just great! I've just increase my business and helped me to get more close to my costumers. They love my graphic design works, and trust even more in my business image and marketing. Adobe Photoshop is simply amazing.

Pros

This software comes with a very intuitive commands and tools that brings to the editors the best editing experience. It's simply amazing. Helps a lot in business even for some other purpose like social media posters and more. One of the most full editing software ever created. Just thanks to the creators. Congratulations!!! When we're talking Adobe, we know we're talking serious.

Cons

Maybe the con that we can find, is a little difficult when facing the software for the first time, cause it's needed a little managing knowledge, like get a little guide about the interface and commands. But beside this, I have nothing to complain about it.

I started my carrier through Graphic Designing. I use Photoshop CS3 as my first professional software since 2014 I never thought of using any other software. Photoshop is best for studio photo editing purpose and i mostly use it for Social Media Marketing, Designing Ads, Social Media Posts.

Pros

I would say Adobe Photoshop is my only favourite software that i have been using from last 6 years for Photo Editing & Graphic Designing. I really enjoy each update of photoshop from Creative Cloud. The software is so professional and very friendly & highly recommended.

Cons

There is nothing special as Adobe always care about its customers. I always enjoy the new update and it fullfill my desires.

Very easy for designing and quick editing. Cloning, removing a specific part from an image using the patch tool.

Cons

When using sometimes, the cache drive gets full and the system crash. Sometimes, selecting tools and shortcuts not working. When the application restarts everything gets back to normal. But it's very troubling.

Pros

\*I like mostly is editing capability as it is top-notch and can be work upon offlie unlike other design templates. \*Having learn a lot with it such sa photo editing, banner making, social media designs I become wholesome brilliant with it that I can recommend it wholly should one want to learn graphics indepth. \*Anything can be done as asked based on instruction given to it to produce the result being asked of it. \*It has always improve and increase the quality of my design unlike other softwares which I have tried on suck like crello etc., meanwhile photopea wants to challenged it but still lower to it and is online software in terms of photoediting.

Cons

\*Its usage to learn can be a bit tough but with constant approach, dedication and determination it will be better on to use which has make it a bit tough. \*For individual usage in terms of paying for subscription or buying, it is a bit costlier but for company it is not that costlier to their expenses, you know am self employed lol. \*If you arent going into the software with the needed scale to work on, you might get not real work you wanted to use up as the image may be larger or else. \*Cusomer support awesomely negative and needs to work upon.

July 15, 2021

5.0

You can basically do anything and everything with Photoshop. This is what I primarily use for marketing flyer creations from scratch.

Pros

Adobe Photoshop allows you to create your image from scratch and lets your imagination translate into an actual product/layout. It has the most comprehensive feature and shortcut keys are easy to remember for ease of working. Depends on the laptop that youre using as well, it loads faster and edits faster as it's very easy to switch from one function to another - and the toolbar on the left is also very accessible. On the recent Photoshop versions, you can create and save your own workspace which will allow you to choose only the most used icons and functions.

Cons

It has the tendency to eat up a lot of memory depend on your artwork. Photoshop would also require high computer requirements in order for the software to function well. These are very technical observations as the software itself is very great

I love Photoshop and each day I learn something new. Adobe offers workshop and free tutorial videos. This is worth the investment for graphic designers and those with some design experience. The end result is beautiful.

Pros

Photoshop is worth the time and financial investment as a tool to create exceptional design work. The features are endless and allow for infinite creativity.

Cons

By trade, I am not a trained designer. I wanted to enhance our digital presence so I asked for a PS license. The program takes time to learn and requires a significant amount of space and RAM on your computer. If you are learning as a beginner it will take time.

I've been using PS since version 2! I wasn't a real fan of the monthly billing that they are doing now versus owning the software, however, now that I've been using it for a while and see the continuous upgrades they offer I'm totally sold!

Pros

I'm a photographer and the ability to transform my images from what I see my minds eye to what I see on the monitor is only one use! The ability to do composites; the ability to artistically manipulate your images; to create something totally new using photos you took some time ago! It also allows me to do graphic design layouts. And they have recently made it easier to move between Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop! Basic video editing is possible as well so I don't have to move to Adobe Premiere Pro for basic edits!

Cons

Like any software, there was a learning curve, but was so worth it! There is nothing I don't like about Photoshop!

### "The professional choice for photo editing and creative design."

January 20, 2022

5.0

I've used Photoshop for more than 25 years and I absolutely love it. Yes, there's a learning curve to using it, but learning how to use it is well worth the time. I not only recommend it - I say it's a requirement for anyone wanting to seriously pursue graphics and other creative occupations.

Pros

Photoshop is a playground for anyone with a creative mind - visual artists, designers, photographers, video production/creatives, animators, etc. I've used Photoshop since 1995 (yeah-back in the dinosaur days of computers & software) so I've seen it grow and change through the years. Today the program's functionality and features are phenomenal and make the process of creating as exciting as seeing the final product. Whether you're simply changing the resolution and color mode of a photo for a print project, compositing images, enhancing photographs, animating, or whatever else you're doing, you can count on Photoshop to have the tools and features you need. I always tell new graphics professionals and illustrators that if you can only afford one digital program to start with - get Photoshop first then add on Illustrator and In-Design as soon as you can because Photoshop can provide a lot of bang for the buck!

Cons

Sadly, Photoshop is a bit expensive and it takes a lot of computer memory and power to operate. But, anyone who is serious about good design, art, etc. will understand this and likely find a way to incorporate the program into their toolbox!

August 10, 2021

5.0

Whether I am creating ads or editing images for our website, or social media, Photoshop is an invaluable tool. Personally, I have used Photoshop to edit photos of my two children since they were born - memorializing beautifully those special moments of their lives. I also use Photoshop extensively for editing outdoor photography. As a resident of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I am 30 minutes away from beautiful lakes and mountains. Photoshop has not disappointed me in 20 years since my college days!

Pros

Photoshop is powerful. I can't think of something photo-editing-wise that you can not do with Photoshop. Having said that, what I like most is that if I don't know how to get something done, there are Adobe pro tips available everywhere. The knowledge base library is extensive and whether you are a beginner or a veteran user of the app, you never few stuck or unable to get to that next level.

Cons

The cost of using the product is prohibitive for most people. I guess adobe has a specific demographic in mind for Adobe Photoshop...

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

I continue to chose Photoshop because Adobe continues to improve this product year after year. Also because of the extensive learning resources available.
