### "Photoshop is still the best out there"

April 22, 2022

5.0

I love it! I've been able to design flyers and ads, edit closed eyes, and resize photos for print. What I love is that you can find tutorials to help you do almost anything to a photo! Other users are happy to share their knowledge and experience. The software can feel intimidating but like everything else, you get better (and faster) with practice!

Pros

Adobe Photoshop has a gazillion useful tools/features if you learn how to use the software. Some of this takes time and getting better with each use. For example, one photo you might want to brighten the background and another photo you might want to crop around hair. With each photo edit, you can learn different tools. Photoshop is still the best photo editing software I've been able to find! I use it for work (editing a magazine) to personal use (editing photos of my family). Even simply making photos brighter is a huge difference!

Cons

I think editing photos and adding filters has gotten a little out of hand. For example "photoshopping" is its own verb/phrase now! Large media companies and celebrities are setting these trends of overediting. It's amazing and scary at the same time that Photoshop has so many tools to completely manipulate a photo.

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

It's the BEST and most well known product! It's also what most people in the design industry use.

### "Best Image editor"

September 20, 2022

5.0

Photoshop is a very powerful software and after many years of using it it has never let me down, presets are easy to make and my clients and I are happy with the photo edits that I produce with it. The flexibility it offers comes second to none and is not resource hungry on my laptop.

Pros

When it comes to Image manipulation and editing photoshop simply was no rival to a point where editing a picture it is universally known as Photoshoping, its tools, filters and presets especially designed for this purpose. I can easily remove backgrounds with the magic tool, change colors and even add objects to an already existing image.

Cons

Photoshop has endless capabilities with image editing but is not so user friendly and has a bit of a learning curve before one can do even the simplest of tasks within the software.

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

I use Corel draw for graphic designing but for my photography side hustle none can match the photo editing power of photoshop with or without third party presets.

### "Best tool for image editing and graphic design work"

June 27, 2022

5.0

Over all, this is one of the best software which I use and still love to learn. Every time there will some new features release happens and makes the graphic designers life easy. There are some short falls but I hope those will be covered in upcoming new releases.

Pros

This is one of the first software which I started learning myself. Till date I use this tool for all my professional as well as personal work.

Cons

We don't have option to export all the layers as separate PDF. We have the option to export in to jpeg but, if we have the same feature for other format that would be really great. As of now I need to use some external tool to export all the images to PDF. In Photoshop I have to do it individually, which I hate doing it

Alternatives considered

[GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)](https://www.capterra.com/p/168960/GIMP/)

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop has wide verity of features where as GIMP seems to be simple photo editor and also I am more comfortable with Adobe products. If I am learning a new tool, some of the follow the same approach as Photoshop and its quick to learn.

### "Adobe Photoshop - L'éditeur d'images de référence des professionnels !!!"

January 25, 2024

5.0

J'utilise Photoshop depuis de nombreuses années pour l'édition professionnelle d'images. Il s'agit du secteur malgré une complexité d'utilisation certaine.

Pros

J'apprécie tout particulièrement la richesse des fonctionnalités de retouche et de montage photo disponibles sur Adobe Photoshop: \_Les nombreux filtres, calques et outils de sélection permettent de réaliser des montages photo complexes de manière professionnelle. \_L'interface est personnalisable selon les différents profils utilisables \_L'intégration avec la suite Adobe (Lightroom, Illustrator, etc.) fluidifie les workflows.

Cons

Il existe cependant quelques limites à souligner: \_La prise en main exige un investissement donc en formation avant de maitriser le logiciel. Le prix élevé de la licence et de l'abonnement Creative Cloud peut freiner certains utilisateurs. \_L'intégration avec des solutions tierces reste perfectible.

### "Expensive, but You Get What You Pay for."

November 3, 2022

5.0

I use photoshop to design ads for work virtually every day and it works great. I'm not a fan of the constant updates or subscription model but it's a necessity and it's the best image editor out there.

Pros

Look, when you think photo editing, you think photoshop. That's why it's not "This picture looks GIMP'd.' The tools here are the premier (and premiere - pun intended) photo editing tools available and if you can think it, you can usually do it with Photoshop.

Cons

The fact that it's on a subscription model now. I'm just not a fan of having to pay in perpetuity or cancelling and resubscribing every time I want to use the platform. I realize that's not going away, but it still irks me.

### "The only photo editing software you should be using."

April 17, 2023

5.0

The time that I used Adobe photoshop the most was when I was a full time actor. I used to edit a lot of my content for my website and modeling portfolios. I would take pictures, edit them that day and send them out. I also used to edit headshots. I could do contouring and much more. I used to watch the photographers when I would go to their offices. Some would edit my pictures in front of me. I would pick up so many tricks from them.

Pros

The image editing. There was a time when I was using this daily and it helped me produce pretty stellar content.

Cons

The cost. It was pretty expensive when I purchased it in the past. One of the benefits is also a drawback. Because it can do so much it does get pretty complicated. You also want to be able to use many of the functions to get the most out of your editing. I had to watch so many YouTube videos to teach myself how to use the software.

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

There was nothing else I considered. I heard the Adobe products were the best so I learned how to use them.

### "Quem precisa de IA quando se tem Photoshop?"

May 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

Cada atualização do Photoshop o software fica mais avançado com uma possibilidade de ferramentas absurda, sem dúvidas a ferramenta que mais uso é a máscara de camada e essa simples ferramenta, sem enrolação alguma, possibilita a construção de imagens esotéricas e de criatividade infinita.

Cons

Juntamente com a atualização vem o consumo de memória, o software não é para qualquer computador e ainda não pode ser acessado de modo online. Tipo logar em um site e poder utiliza-lo totalmente, ele ainda precisa de todo o processo de instalação... mas quem sabe no futuro.

### "Photoshop is the best ever in photo editing"

September 19, 2021

5.0

The program is very cool. I use it daily in all my work, modifying images, motion designs, and designs for websites. I have been working on it for 8 years.

Pros

An excellent program for editing and recreating any type of image easily and perfectly, but after a while I know the use of each tool. It has an amazing user interface It is possible to make money from it. Of course, you will earn money from it by modifying images for photographers, or even merging images, social media designs and other designs. A very popular and well-known program, and therefore there are many lessons to learn, allowing the user to learn the program with ease and speed

Cons

It can become a little difficult when making designs in large sizes, or 3D designs with a lot of layers, you need a high computer of RAM, processor and hard disk to bear the amount of work on it and this is in the future when you start making projects and make money from it It takes time to master all the tools and know how to use them The program takes a lot of RAM to run, and when it needs more space, the program closes and the project can be recovered or not

### "Valuable & Simple Review Adobe Photoshop"

August 10, 2021

5.0

Adobe Photoshop permits you to make your picture without any preparation and allows your creative mind to convert into a real item/format. It has the most far reaching element and alternate route keys are not difficult to recall for simplicity of working. Relies upon the PC that you are utilizing too, it stacks quicker and alters quicker as it's extremely simple to change starting with one capacity then onto the next - and the toolbar on the left is additionally entirely available. On the new Photoshop adaptations, you can make and save your own work area which will permit you to pick just the most utilized symbols and capacities.

Pros

Adobe Photoshop is incredible programming and each update brings extremely new astounding elements. Adobe's name itself is sufficient to demonstrate this. Adobe Photoshop is the best photograph proofreader around, regardless of whether you need to finish up your photographs or control them to your ideal requirements, Photoshop is incredible. I love the huge swath of devices Photoshop has permitting quite recently an easygoing client to get essential photograph altering.

Cons

The components can be overpowering for another client. This product is pressed to the gills with highlights. It offers less help for vector pictures. That was the explanation that I needed to select Illustrator. Other than that, I figure it works effectively. It tends to gobble up a ton of memory rely upon your craftsmanship. Photoshop would likewise require high PC necessities all together for the product to work well. These are exceptionally specialized perceptions as the actual product is extremely incredible

I'm able to design high-quality graphics, from album covers, banners, and social media advertisements in multiple sizes to please numerous clients, the features photoshop provides help in creating phenomenal graphics

Pros

I've been using this software for years, it may take time to get used to, but the features and tools it provides that you can implement into your creative design techniques are fantastic. There are many tools that you will find to be helpful and will use very often, so if you are thinking of investing time and expenses into this tool, please do.

Cons

At first, the software isn't easy to navigate and takes time to learn, and the software can be expensive, especially if you aren't singing it for business purposes, but the pros outweigh the cons

November 14, 2022

Se non ci fosse stato Ps in tutti questi anni non sarei mai riuscito a fare questo lavoro, letteralmente!

Pros

Ho iniziato ad usarlo all'università e non ho mai smesso. Fino a qualche anno fa, quando non si facevano i video ma le gif, si poteva continuare ad usarlo senza problemi senza ricorrere ad altri programmi.Letteralmente essenziale per fare, e velocizzare, tutta una serie di interventi sulle immagini che sarebbero impraticabili con altri programmi della suite di Adobe.

Cons

L'unico difetto è che, come tutti i programmi della suite di Adobe, sta diventando troppo pesante per i computer, ormai bastano un paio di file grandi e un paio di programmi aperti per rallentare anche un pc nuovo.

5.0

Photoshop is a powerful and complex photo editing program that has a steep learning curve. I am still unpacking the many tools and features of Photoshop, but so far I am loving it. I have found it easy to use for basic photo editing tasks, but more complex tasks can be daunting.

Pros

Photoshop Color Gradient is very Awesome.

Cons

I like Photoshop: 1) Color Gradient 2) Smoothness

Reason for choosing Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard for photo editing. It's been around for over 20 years and it's clear that it's not going anywhere. It has the most robust toolset, has a large user base, and is constantly being updated with new features.

### "The Industry Standard, Unobtainable."

September 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

With ease, photoshop allows me to do everything I need by way of photo editing, as well as painting. Nearly everything I need, design wise, is here in photoshop.

Cons

Over the years, it's become harder and harder to have and keep photoshop. Even when I was a student, the student pricing per month was more than my phone bill. At this point, Photoshop is like the Call of Duty of editing programs— a new, barely changed version comes out every year as a cash grab, with higher and higher prices, forcing these overpriced subscriptions on you to use a product you could have simply bought and used forever a decade ago.

### "Graphic Design and Editing made easy."

November 29, 2021

5.0

My overall experience is very good, I've done some interesting projects with Photoshop which I could have done in other software or it would have taken me longer. I haven't had too many issues that I needed assistance with except for billing, where I got billed twice but it was resolved in a reasonable amount of time. It took me several days, initially, to figure out some of the quirks and features of Photoshop, of which, I mostly had to look on Youtube for tips and tricks.

Pros

Photoshop is the best graphic design tool on the market, this software offers so much content and tools that help you design whatever you want that I couldn't possibly go to another software. The library and templates offered, make life so much easier with various different aspects of design, from images to your own custom designs.

Cons

customer support isn't the most helpful or punctual and it tends to take several emails to resolve tickets. The software is difficult to use and some of what you get out of its Help Wizard can confuse you, even more, the biggest obstacle for any general user is the user interface, there are just so many buttons, for some, it can be overwhelming, while those like me with trying each button to see what they do.

### "A premium level image editing software."

August 23, 2022

5.0

The app has been a golden arrow for me now I can edit some premium-level images without depending on anyone else. I edit all my business images through photoshop before uploading them on my business Instagram page. It has worked efficiently and edits high-definition images without harming its quality. It has been my best friend throughout my editing journey.

Pros

The best image editing software in the market. It can give you great results if you have a little bit of a creative mind. The filters are amazing and are worth trying and auto mode is also great for newbies. You will get some high-definition edited images after working on it.

Cons

The user interface of the app is not that great it is a little difficult to understand for new users. The mobile version of the software is not as good as the desktop version it lags sometimes. Its premium is also very costly and It has so many editing tools that sometimes the user may get confused.

### "Industry standard that is still a leader in the field"

November 23, 2021

5.0

This program have been with me from the very begging of my career and is an absolute industry standard. I have learn so many ways to use Photoshop, and am fully proficient in it. But at the same time, it is funny to think that there are a lot of options I don't use or haven't learnt yet simply because my line of work does not require that. This program is so broad and versatile. It encourages creativity and problem solving, because there are so many different ways to get to the same result. Everyone has a different work style and Photoshop allows you to experiment and develop your own unique approach.

Pros

This is the first software from Adobe suit that I have learnt to use. I was a child when I decided to learn it, and all these years later I use it in my daily work life. My favourite features are how versatile this program is and the users range from amateur photographers to professional creative directors. It also works seamlessly with other Adobe programs like InDesign and Illustrator. I honestly cannot imagine my everyday work without Photoshop.

Cons

I like how they keep implementing updates and trying to improve the program, but a lot of times these updates change the old feature or replace it with something new. For example, recently "Export As" options were changed and the user can no longer manually adjust the percentage of quality to choose from. Now they included only a couple of options that go from "poor to excellent" quality. I think this is a step back as instead of having the options to choose from literally a hundred, it is now about 7.

### "My Favorite Designing Software"

January 15, 2022

5.0

I love it, sometimes laggy (maybe due to my PC Lenovo Y720 Laptop performance) but really my favorite software for creativity!

Pros

It is really the toolbox for anyone that wants to draw, edit and create. I know that Adobe Illustrator also is good for drawing but I really find Photoshop to be the best and easiest.

Cons

I would say that it is not software for everyone as it is so complete that it is sometimes complicated and I do not enjoy the small menus on the top, left and right, it is too small and even with my glasses, I have difficulties finding everything. So for me, it is an amazing software, not for everyone, I believe it is more enjoyable for pro users but still, as an average level user, I love Photoshop. It is really a complete tool for anyone wanting to create, design or edit.

It is the best programs in design in the world I have used a lot of other programs I have not seen such before that it makes you control the entire image until completion and is characterized by maintaining quality until extraction it is the best programs for all

Pros

It is easy for me, very fast, light on devices, contains all the tools I need in designing images, it makes me control everything easily, even extracting the image is very fast

Cons

I think that the program does not renew and does not contain templates, and it is difficult for beginners in the beginning. There are no automatic tools to help
