" November 17, 2025 5.0 My experience with adobe photoshop was like a roller coaster, at the beginning it felt uphill because I was learning their tools and what I could with it, but with time it became fun to use, although when new updates come, it feels uphill again with the new tools, but then it becomes fun again. Pros I can edit and enhance pictures, create logos, marketing materials like banners, flyers, business cards, and I can change the dimension of my projects easily. Cons The learning curve for using photoshop can be overwhelming when you are a beginner, it took me several months to actually feel confident using it. Review Source PO Patrick O. Sr. Marketing Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Photoshop is the best raster image editor, period" July 25, 2025 5.0 Like any Adobe program, Photoshop has quite the steep learning curve, and I'm sure that I've only tapped about 30-40% of its capabilities, even having used it for over a decade. That being said, I don't feel like I've ever had a raster image edit task that I couldn't accomplish in Photoshop. You're limited only by your imagination and knowhow, not the software itself. Pros Photoshop is absolutely necessary for photo editing and creating professional-level imagery. Even if you intend to export to other tools like Figma or Canva, Photoshop is the number one tool for creating the perfect foundation. From professional headshots to product imagery to whatever creative thing you can come up with, Photoshop is top-notch at refining colors, textures, lighting, and edges. Cons I only wish that Photoshop was still available as a standalone downloadable program file as opposed to being part of yearly subscriptions. I don't necessarily need the ongoing updates and would be content with it as is for now. Review Source TP Takeisha P. IT media Spacialist Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very versatile program" December 15, 2025 4.0 Overall I like Photoshop and any complaints are me being picky about things that they will either probably change in the future or is just personal preference. Pros I love the versatility of the product. I have used it for everything from touching up family photos to creating graphics to then be imported to other Adobe products. Cons The magnitude of buttons can be overwhelming to those who don't know where everything is. And when you do get used to where everything is a newer version comes out and they change things. Also, the AI needs to become more user friendly. I find it easier to manipulate things in other programs than working with the AI in Photoshop. Unless things changed and I haven't noticed, the last time I really played around with the AI in it you weren't able to keep giving suggestions or commands to the AI after the initial output, you would have to start all over or make the edits yourself.

Print Designer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Textile designers" April 23, 2025 4.0 Once the concept of layers is understood, Photoshop becomes one of the most practical drawing and painting tool for textile designers. The customizable Workspace is amazing, you can save different ones depending what you need Psd for, (Photography, Webdesign, Allover Pattern making...) Pros I love the versatility of Adobe PSD. It communicates amazingly with other programs of the Adobe Suit which is making working so much faster Cons It's difficult to control the weights of the files while working on them, and the program it self takes up a lot of storage space. Review Source LD Luca D. Parrucchiere Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Photoshop: geniale, impegnativo e impossibile da abbandonare" March 29, 2025 4.0 All’inizio l’ho odiato. Troppo complesso, troppe cose da imparare. Poi ho cominciato a capirlo e… beh, ora non potrei più farne a meno. È uno di quei programmi che, se lo impari bene, ti dà una libertà creativa incredibile. Certo, mi pesa pagarlo ogni mese, e a volte vorrei che fosse meno complicato, ma ogni volta che uso una delle sue funzioni avanzate e vedo il risultato, capisco perché è ancora il re del fotoritocco. Lo consiglio? Se lo usi per lavoro o per passione, assolutamente sì. Se invece ti serve solo per modifiche semplici, forse è un po’ troppo. Ma se decidi di buttartici dentro… buona fortuna! Non ne esci più. Pros Se pensi a qualcosa che ha a che fare con le immagini, Photoshop può farla. Ritoccare una foto, eliminare un oggetto, creare una grafica da zero, disegnare… È uno di quei software che più lo usi, più ti rendi conto di quanto sia potente. Le nuove funzioni basate sull’intelligenza artificiale sono pazzesche. Con Riempimento generativo, puoi cancellare oggetti dalle foto e Photoshop ricostruisce lo sfondo da solo. Funziona quasi sempre alla grande, ed è uno di quei momenti in cui ti sembra di vivere nel futuro. Se lavori con altri designer o fotografi, probabilmente usano tutti Photoshop. Questo significa che non hai problemi di compatibilità e trovi risorse, tutorial e aiuti ovunque. Se non sai fare qualcosa, qualcuno l’ha già spiegato su YouTube o su un blog. È praticamente impossibile rimanere bloccati. Cons Apri Photoshop per la prima volta e ti trovi davanti una marea di strumenti, pannelli e icone. Serve un po’ di tempo per orientarsi e capire come usarlo davvero. Non puoi comprarlo una volta e tenerlo per sempre, devi pagare ogni mese. E se smetti di pagare, ciao ciao Photoshop. Su un computer potente fila liscio, ma se hai un PC o un Mac un po’ vecchio, può diventare lento e frustrante. Photoshop è così vasto che dopo anni scopro ancora strumenti di cui non sapevo l’esistenza. Bello, certo, ma a volte vorrei solo che fosse un po’ più semplice. Review Source CT Christopher T. Senior Creative Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best photo editing software available." March 11, 2025 5.0 I have been using Photoshop for over 15 years and in that time it has come a long way. The days of spending hours comping assets are over. You can work faster and get the better results. It makes life as a creative much easier and gives you more time to creative rather than spending time doing the boring tasks of old. Pros Photoshop is the best photo editing software out there and it keeps getting better. The new ai content aware fill and other AI generations, make editing photoshops quick and efficient. Rather than spending hours comping in elements or extending images, it can be done in seconds. Cons The only issue with Photoshop are in the text options. Its not really the best place to be adding text, but the options and features are bit off compared to adobes other programmes. Same with the artboards, if they were more like Illustrator, they would be a lot easier to use. Review Source VV Vincent V. Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pour un design pro je le préfère" January 15, 2026 5.0 Pros La puissance de l’outil est incomparable. La gestion des calques, l’historique des modifications et la précision des réglages m’ offrent un contrôle total sur les visuels. L’intégration avec les autres logiciels Adobe est également un vrai plus. Cons La complexité peut être intimidante et nécessite un vrai temps d’apprentissage. De plus, la gestion des fichiers lourds demande une bonne organisation pour éviter de perdre du temps lors des échanges ou des mises à jour. Review Source AR Ando R. Software engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Photoshop is the best raster image editor, period " August 31, 2025 5.0 Photoshop is a tool that I use almost every day, what I appreciate with it is its versatility and its power, it can do almost everything I want. Pros It has very powerful features for design creation, if you have a basic understanding of design it’s easy to do good work with.It’s easy to use with a user interface pretty interesting. I use some of its Photoshop features like generative fill, multiple subject selection and many others that give me creative and innovative work possibilities.Its integration with other Adobe tools makes it even more productive. Cons The learning curve of Adobe Photoshop is pretty robust, you basically need to have basic knowledge in design or watch a bunch of tutorial videos to be able to master it better and be productive. Review Source JR Josep R. Graphic Designer Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Versatility and adapted to new technologies" September 29, 2025 4.0 I have been using it for around 10 years and I think it is one of the best software programmes on the market and will continue to be so for many more years to come. There is no direct competitor. Pros I like the versatility it offers, the regular updates, which are usually very useful new tools that adapt to current technologies. It is also quite fast and smooth, if you have a good computer that supports it. Cons The interface has not changed in many years and could do with a bit of modernisation, although I do not see this as a major negative point. Review Source CS Christian S. Web Producer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not cheap but worth it " December 14, 2025 5.0 Pros Adobe is very worth its pricing. It's offering a best discount for annual plan. I'm sure you wont find best features Image and text editing elsewhere than Photoshop. Cons While it's offering the best it isn't the cheapest. The pricing can be a steep if you subscribe for multiples user and for cloud storage. But even regarding this aspect I'll recommend Photoshop Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Motion Design Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Il non-plus-ultra dei software di editing per le immagini" May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Non esiste attualmente un software per l'editing delle immagini più potente di Adobe Photoshop. Soprattutto con l'integrazione dei nuovi strumenti AI, Photoshop è lo strumento fondamentale per qualsiasi designer che lavori con le immagini (nello specifico: espansione generativa del riquadro, riempimento generativo, riempimento in base al contenuto sono tre tool molto potenti che fanno salire di livello un software già perfetto). Cons Potrebbe essere meglio sviluppata l'interfaccia e gli strumenti per le animazioni. Review Source DG Dario G. junior graphic designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The most important graphic and photo retouch software " November 20, 2025 5.0 I use it everyday for my job and I could not live without it. Photoshop is a life saver with postproduction and camera raw Pros Adobe Photoshop it’s the best and the most complete software for graphic design and photos retouching. With the new 2025 version and AI you can do absolute anything. It’s easy to use if you follow some tutorial or videos Cons Ai it’s developed very well, but at the moment credits usage and other limits are not a good thing for a professional use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Homeware Accessories Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My all-time favourite software" July 31, 2025 5.0 I worked daily with Photoshop for years, and when I moved to a job that used Illustrator more, I missed it. It is the best art software around, and I'd recommend it to everyone. Pros I love Photoshop. It works so closely with the user and makes everything so simple and easy to use. I know a lot about Photoshop, but there's always something new to learn about it. Especially with AI now, it makes photo editing so effortless, while keeping the software creative to the user's needs. Cons Sometimes it can be slow for simple features, such as opening a new document. This happens when the software is updated, so reverting back to a previous version is disappointing.

Chief Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "one of the best" November 21, 2025 5.0 Pros Its always helpful and make my life easier, possible top 5 app to edit pictures and create any kind of images Cons its a little bit expensive and more important to have it in your mind when you are talking about small and humble companies Review Source gR graham R. cub scout leader Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### " program is brilliant /after sales/help is less than useless" March 24, 2025 2.0 the program is brilliant ,but the after sales /help is less than useless & only interested in selling updates ( iv now changed to different software) Pros easy to use fantastic quality editing worth 5\* + but....... Cons once its installed if your pc hard drive crashes you have to buy /pay for it again .the helpdesk is no good and just say it has to be deactivated on the old pc before activating on the new pc Review Source EM Elexus M. Innovation Specialist Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Art, photnesiting" July 3, 2025 5.0 Pros I love the ease of use and the ability to add plug-ins completely to the app without the need of any external program. I also love how it handles bringing 3D objects into its environment. Cons I don’t like that it will crash a lot based the amount of other programs open or the what kind of computer you have. Switched from [Sketchbook](https://www.capterra.com/p/233346/Sketchbook/) I loved everything that photoshop could offer that sketchbook could not. It allowed me to experiment more with my work. Review Source CJ Courtney J. Compliance Officer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Slight Learning Curve but great product." May 5, 2025 4.0 Overall, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I've had it for over 2 years and am still learning stuff daily. Pros One thing I have enjoyed most about Adobe Photoshop, is the ease to use any of my smart devices to edit photos. I truly like that I can take a picture and instantly adjust lighting issues or change the focus. Cons There seems to be a small learning curve with photoshop. I relied heavily on social media for tutorials on how to do some of the more complicated things like seamlessly removing a person from a photo. Review Source SS Samin S. Support Services Specialist Telecommunications Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A Must-Have for High-Quality Photo and Design Work" November 20, 2025 4.0 Overall, Photoshop delivers incredible value for anyone who needs advanced editing tools. Once you learn your way around, it becomes an essential and extremely powerful part of any creative workflow. Whether for photography, graphic design, or digital art, it offers unmatched flexibility and professional-grade results. Despite the learning curve and cost, the capabilities it provides make it one of the best editing tools available. Pros Adobe Photoshop is incredibly powerful and versatile, offering professional-level tools for everything from simple touch-ups to complex, layered designs. I love how precise the editing capabilities are, and the ability to work with advanced features like masks, smart objects, filters, and retouching tools makes it the industry standard for a reason. The integration with other Adobe products, as well as access to Adobe Fonts and Libraries, makes workflow smooth and efficient. Cons Photoshop has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners. Some tools can be overwhelming at first, and it requires time to become fully comfortable with all the features. It can also be resource-heavy and run slowly on older or lower-powered devices. The subscription model may feel pricey if you’re not using it regularly. Review Source AO Alanna O. Systems Analyst Trainee Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Photoshop Review " June 2, 2025 5.0 Overall, our design team loves using Adobe Photoshop. When we need to throw together a quick project to put out on our app Adobe Photoshop is almost always our first option. Pros We use Adobe Photoshop for almost every digital project we have. It offers a ton of creative flexibility, Smart Tools, AI, and the Layer based editing makes adjusting each layer a breeze! Cons Adobe Photoshop can take a while to get a hang of if you aren't familiar with it on any level. Aside from the learning curve the only issue we tend to have with it, is generating/removing certain objects using the AI tool. It doesn't always generate the most accurate images and can take a while to do so. Review Source pK pradeep K. Creative Director Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful, Versatile, but Takes Time to Master" January 10, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Adobe Photoshop has been great. It's incredibly powerful for editing and creating, but the complexity can be a bit overwhelming at first. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless. Pros What I love most about Adobe Photoshop is its versatility. Whether it’s photo editing, digital painting, or graphic design, it gives me endless creative possibilities and precise control over every detail. Cons What I like least about Adobe Photoshop is the steep learning curve. It can be overwhelming at first, especially with all the tools and features to master. Review Source VM Victor M.

Pros With Photoshop, we can create any type of art in small and large dimensions for advertising in general. Excellent resources Cons Some tools are not so simple to use and the software is not intuitive, intermediate knowledge of the tools is required to be able to use the software. Review Source feras R. Operations Supervisor Import and Export Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My opinion on Photoshop" March 16, 2025 5.0 I used it to design some images. It was very powerful to deal with, and the filters added a lot of clarity and life to the images. I also prepared images in different shapes to create a moving shot and saved them with the GIF extension. Pros What I liked about Photoshop is its precision in designing, processing, and clarifying images, controlling the degree of colors, cropping parts of images, adding components to them, and removing the background from images. It is very professional in making advertising banners and logos. Cons Its cost is high and sometimes it is difficult for some beginners to understand it. It also requires a computer with high capabilities. Review Source NA Nicole A.

It is a really good tool to have. Pros I love the new AI generate feature, it is easy to generate new backgrounds and images. It can be a little challenging but there are tutorials to help. Cons It can be a little challenging if you're new to using photoshop, but tutorials help and they walk you step by step in the process. Switched from [Adobe Lightroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/233631/Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom/) Lightroom is easy to use and easier to learn than Photoshop, however Photoshop offers more to edit in creating, editing and designing. Review Source SJ Sunil J. Operations Manager Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still the quality benchmark for any print material." April 23, 2025 5.0 Photoshop has made our Prepress process more interactive. We’ve been able to catch color mismatches and formatting issues before they go to print, saving us from rework and wasted material, which eat into margins. It’s also empowered us to produce higher-quality visuals for clients with more complicated branding needs Pros Photoshop allows me complete control when I am preparing customer artwork for print. From color profiles and removing backgrounds to cleaning up low-res logos, it does it all and keeps the quality intact. For signage, where both size and legibility are key, that’s essential. Cons It’s resource-intensive, and sometimes overkill when I just need some quick edits. Plus, if the team isn’t trained well, the learning curve could slow down production particularly for newer staff who aren’t familiar with layers or masks. Review Source Similar Products Featured
