    The great software program option for picture designers

    Date: Sep 21 2022
    Summary

    I actually have had an enormously nice enjoy with Adobe Photoshop, it has allowed me to finish every piece of work that I were assigned via customers. I could fantastically propose this product to any professional photograph dressmaker or fanatic seeking to establish or improve their skillsets, I have in no way had an difficulty with the software program however additionally understand that Adobe's customer service may be very beneficial and professional in dealing with any problems.

    Positive

    The gear to be had allow for anything you wish to layout to be completed, I have been using Photoshop for round 2 years and feature never searched for an opportunity software given that I began using it. I had been capable to finish all assignments given to me and the big range of tools available permit me to complete my responsibilities to a very high and expert trendy. Furthermore, the potential to shop any piece of work in your laptop or at the cloud as the perfect layout is also very beneficial, this means that you may design pieces that can be used for online purposes or as revealed posters and even billboards if essential. In my opinion, that is the satisfactory platform available to image designers to apply for their work however is likewise exquisite for informal users (which I became to begin with).

    Negative

    The maximum obvious trouble with this software is the fee, as now not simplest is it costly but it does now not include one constant sum however alternatively installment payments. However I sense that that is justified by using the overall fine of the products as well as the preliminary loose trial and offers which can be to be had to the consumer. In addition to this, it can be complicated to perform as a first time consumer as the wide sort of tools and options it gives can seem overwhelming to first time customers; despite this, this trouble may be overcome by using following the various loose Photoshop training and tutorials to be had on YouTube as an example.

    It's not the most intuitive, but it's powerful.

    Date: Oct 21 2020
    Summary

    It's a powerful programme that has become more accessible in terms of tips and tutorials, but it's still not a very accessible price point for the average small business or non-profit. I wish they would offer Photoshop/Illustrator packages.

    Positive

    Photoshop has come a long way over the years. I've been using it self-taught since 2002. On my most recent purchase of it, I was pleased to see that the developers are making it much more approachable by building in free tips and tutorials and examples, which makes it so much more accessible for the average user. The tools of course are incredible.

    Negative

    Honestly, the price is still steep, especially cause it's in US dollars. It would be great if they could offer a package for Photoshop & Illustrator, but right now I believe you have to buy the whole suite or Photoshop/Lightroom. As someone who works for a small company, the whole suite wasn't affordable, but thankfully I was able to get a discount for my non-profit through TechSoup. For the average person, I think programmes like Canva and mobile apps are going to be a lot more accessible in terms of being user friendly and priced well, but professionals will probably always come back to Photoshop.

    Each time you use it. You will learn something new!

    Date: Jun 06 2020
    Summary

    Photoshop is the Swiss army knife of design software, if you're good at it, you can create anything from memes to magazines. I have come to believe that the knowledge of a tool like this is an essential skill and should be thought in schools.

    Positive

    - This is the kind of software that is an ocean of options and opportunities. It can literally take years until you get accustomed to every feature in it.
    - An excellent community of designers and artists creating tutorials and resources everyday.

    Negative

    - It is definitely expensive for individual artists who cannot afford a lot of basic tools. Maybe the creative cloud has better options for such people.
    - It can be intimidating at first owing to the sheer number of options in the software.

    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend this product to any photographer who wants to take things up to the next level.

    Positive

    There's a bit of a learning curve to this, but it is a powerful editing tool. I particularly like being able to balance the curves in photos to balance out the colors.

    Negative

    Like most Adobe products, it seems to take forever to load when I open it.

    Extraordinary software, annoying subscription-only model

    Date: May 29 2020
    Summary

    I have logged thousands of hours in various versions of Photoshop as far back as version 5.5 before the CS series. It is outstanding software, I just dislike the pricing model they've adopted the past few years.

    Positive

    The software itself is superb, and is still the best and most thorough, full-featured image editing toolset in the world. You can create all sorts of awesome things with Photoshop once you get through the initial learning curve, which isn't actually hard at all.

    Negative

    There used to be a standalone version (CS6) but the standalone format was discontinued in favor of the Creative Cloud subscription model, which is really unfortunate as I would prefer to own, not rent, the software and use it offline especially in the event that Adobe as a company someday shuts down.

    Great Photo Editor-if you know how to use it

    Date: May 27 2020
    Summary

    I highly recommend Photoshop if you need to do heavy editing. It is expensive compared to free programs online, but it is the best in the business.

    Positive

    Photoshop is robust. It has more features than you will ever need. If you are considering only doing light editing, this is not a product for you. There are a lot of options out there that are free to adjust filters/brightness/contrast/saturation/etc. If you need to do heavy editing, Photoshop can't be beat. It can be hard to learn, however. It has a lot of features.

    Negative

    If you are a first-time user, it is completely overwhelming. The longer time you spend working in it, the easier it will become. Take advantage of any and all training videos you can find!

    Positive

    Excellent product but overpriced

    Date: Jun 21 2020
    Summary

    Photoshop is a handy tool for designers, and I would absolutely recommend the entire Adobe Suite to make the most of it. Otherwise, it can slow down a low-end system, and can seem expensive. But if you're serious about designing, don't hesitate to buy it. It will serve you well.

    Positive

    Adobe Photoshop is an essential tool for anyone looking to enter the designing field. I've been using it for graphic design and photo manipulation for years now, and it has served me well in both aspects. I absolutely love the brush tool. You get to create your own ones and the internet provides you all kinds of brushes for free too. Styles, patterns, textures, you name it - these tools are enough to make even a beginner feel like they know a thing or two. It also integrates easily with all other Adobe Suite products, which is a great option and gives you a complete environment for your design needs. Photoshop alone comes with excellent support from its creators. And you also get free fonts, which are cool. There are plenty of learning resources online for free, so anybody willing to put in the time and effort can easily make the most of Photoshop.

    Negative

    The software can get glitchy at times, and doesn't work as smoothly on a low-end device. I also feel like there should be some features that use AI, especially considering how easy it is to do edits using other free apps that might otherwise take hours to do on Photoshop. It is also extremely expensive. There are actually equally powerful tools out there, some even for free, so I wouldn't recommend Photoshop to somebody who's not serious about getting into design and editing. I also feel like the text tool could use some more improvements and features. It also has a learning curve, so absolute beginners would feel lost pretty soon.
