My Photoshop

Reviewed 2 years ago

The best thing about Photoshop is the worst thing about Photoshop. With out experience it may seem overwhelming but with experience all the tools and functions makes it the best application for photo manipulation as well as painting because you have full control of your workflow. I've been working on Photoshop since 2012 and I am still learning new tools and tricks to help with my workflow because there is really a lot you can do on the application.

Pros

So many image manipulation tools for create painting and graphics from blank page. The shortcut customization is really helpful to increase the speed of my workflow. The liquify tool is very useful for manipulating images. Customization of brushes is useful function to create unique textures. It converts RGB to CMYK with ease and efficiently for prints. Having tools to paint and tools for photo manipulation makes it a one stop place to create and edit. The synergy with other applications is really good.

Cons

It is a really pricey program with monthly and annual plans. It has a steep learning curve that can be overwhelming at the start although over time its very efficient with experience.

Wonderful Photo Editing Software

Reviewed a month ago
Pros

Photoshop is my go-to photo editor. Originally I was using another software, but Photoshop offers a bunch of unique effects and filters to create Art just exactly how I want it.

Cons

I really is a great softwate. I've been using it for the past 8 years on a nearly daily basis. It doesn't have any cons.

A review from senior graphic designer

Reviewed 3 years ago

The company I work for was able to serve customers request and inquiry well in a timely and professional manner thanks to what photoshop has to offer.

Pros

What I like most about the software were the many powerful features that were included in the software that can help you create and edit graphics smoothly. The feature I like the most was the clone-stamp tool that can help you remove any unwanted object out of a picture.

Cons

I don't like the pricing of the software, it is subscription-based, which makes it very expensive on the long road. And it is usually bundled with other software that is not necessary for what I do.

Best graphic design software for any business

Reviewed a year ago

I couldn't be happier.

Pros

Photoshop had very advanced features for editing pictures and designing. It has a 3d functionality for 3d designs. It supports smart rulers. Photoshop is cross platform compatible too. Also integrates with a lot of other softwares.

Cons

There's no auto-correct spelling errors. At least the words should be underlined when spelled wrongly.

Photoshop: Spectacular Photo editing application

Reviewed 2 years ago

Adobe Photoshop installation is super easy . Overall experience is Adobe Photoshop is very good. Excellent options to create a creative content.

Pros

Photoshop is the first application that comes to mind to edit and process an image. Photoshop allows users to have thousands of AI-powered Graphics options, filters, and others, which helps to bring the creative content in mind to reality. The edited image can be downloaded as JPG, PNG, SVG PDF, and others. Photoshop is a vector-based application; pictures can be enlarged to the required size. Photoshop evolved a lot over time, and object selection in an image is one of the best addition to the long list of options. Adobe ecosystem is incredible; Photoshop gels well with other Adobe applications.

Cons

Photoshop is more expensive than its competitors. New users need basic image editing knowledge, and Photoshop is not a user-friendly application for beginners.

Great Software, Terrible Pricing Plan

Reviewed 2 years ago

I learned to use Photoshop in college as part of my arts course. It's come a long way since then, with many tablet input horrors being a thing of the past. It's a very good piece of software, Adobe's best, but the change to subscription based pricing has angered artists the world over. If it is your primary software application and you earn money using it then it's fine, but if like me you are a freelancer and use over 10 different apps from image editing to CAD, the constant drain on finances will bleed you dry!

Pros

Photoshop is without a doubt one of the best image editors on the market. It's also used by digital painters and has a very wide feature set aimed at professionals. If pricing wasn't an issue it would be my top choice.

Cons

The main complaints I have about photoshop are the overbearing Creative Cloud DRM/Manager and the forced subscription plan. Creative cloud is just resource heavy and often buggy. Adobe apps often take longer to launch than they should and come with a lot of bloatware (especially on Windows) The forced subscription plan is the other issue. A lot of people, including myself, hate that you can't buy perpetual licenses anymore. Everything is now introductory offers, slowly inflating prices, and lock-in contracts with early cancellation fees. It's saddening

A premium level image editing software.

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

review about Adobe Photoshop

Reviewed 2 years ago

My name is Mohammed. I work freelance. I give Adobe Photoshop five out of five stars. For more reviews like this, I've been using Photoshop for a long time. I feel like the last program I used before was Microsoft Paint. There was Paint plus, and a few other programs, but for a while, everything changed, Photoshop was the gold standard. So when I first started using it, a while ago, I looked at some Corral products, but nothing could hold a candle to the flexibility that Photoshop has and still offers. I chose Photoshop because it is the most powerful image editing software available at any price in my field. It is an application for the current professional situation. If you want to do something with a photo, you can do it in Photoshop.

Pros

Photoshop hides my mistakes! If something ever needs to be touched up or edited, Photoshop makes that possible and easy. By simply using the touch-up tool I can easily cover up blemishes on faces or dirt spots on athletic equipment. Photoshop makes it easy to edit text, delete text, and create text. With various options, I can easily and quickly make any word into a gleaming billboard with just a few edits. Effects in Photoshop make it super easy to blur out backgrounds, transform my subjects and create visual effects quickly and efficiently.

Cons

Photoshop takes a long time to learn everything there is to learn. For some people, Photoshop is simply too complicated. The magnetic lasso tool frustrates me, I wish it was a little more accurate and a lot simpler. I understand there are better and more effective ways, but it's just a pointless tool that to me does not function the way it should I think there should be an auto group option for the layers where it automatically detects if something is text and then groups all the text layers into one folder. Would just make it more efficient.

Photoshop a graphics editing beast

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Easy to use and part of a larger suite of applications. Powered with creative cloud it can make it easier to work across multiple devices. A plethora of effects, tools and customizations makes it an incredible tool for photo editing as well as sophisticated graphics designing and UI/ UX designer.

Cons

it is a bit expensive due to high monthly fees and sometimes an overkill for simpler use. IT is still not available for linux distributions so makes it inconvenient when some of your work devices are linux powered. it still lacks peoper support for vector graphics.

Il miglior software in commercio per editing di immagini, mai fare senza!

Reviewed 2 years ago

Lo considero, insieme ad Adobe indesign il miglior software a disposizione per chi lavora nel cambo della grafica sia tradizionale che web graphics

Pros

Sicuramente la gestione dei livelli per l'elaborazione di immagini anche complesse. E' possibile strutturare grafiche con vari impostazioni che possono essere accese o spente e gestite in gruppi di grafiche. Questo permette di creare layout dinamici, immagini animate, newlsettero grafiche web con grafiche diversificate e complesse. Gli strumenti come il lazo permettono di pulire professionalmente le immagini, i filtri di modificarne profondamente i connotati. E gli strumenti di modifica possono nascondere difetti e cambiare diametralmente colori e connotati di una immagine.

Cons

Il software non è intuitivo, ma complesso se lo si vuole utilizzare al massimo delle sue potenzialità. Soprattutto la parte utilissima delle automazioni per modifiche su grandi quantità di immagini in modo automatico non è semplice né facilmente implementabile. Anche se estremamente efficace.

Photoshop gives you the freedom to express yourself as creator

I am using photoshop a couple of days in the week. Mainly for editing some designs for my clients.

Pros

There is no need to explain what Photoshop is. My personal opinion is that this for sure is the best software for creators and web designers. You could make what your mind is available to predict.

Cons

The only cons for me is the need for installation to your computer or laptop. I would prefer to use it online using my browser.

Every Photographer's Safe Line

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

I've been somewhat neglectful of Photoshop for quite a few years. How I regret that now. I say this a lot but Photoshop is a miracle solution. Before I relied on Lightroom only to edit my images since I thought that it had everything I needed but I was wrong. There is just so much more that you can do with Photoshop. What sold me was how easy it is to do exposure blending for those sweet HDR photos. With time I started finding more and more features and I'm just in love with Photoshop. Never letting go of this one.

Cons

The first experience with Photohop is pretty daunting. You're met with so many buttons and you don't really know what any of them does. I was already used to Lightroom so I thought that the transition was going to be easy but I was wrong. It takes a while but with the guides you already find in the software and a lot of support from the community you'll be able to do magic with the app.

Adobe Photoshop Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall I love the program and cannot live without. I use it daily for work and pleasure. Being able to easily create anything I need with ease is a huge plus and Photoshop delivers that and more. I've been using Photoshop for years and it's never failed to provide me with the creative tools and outlet I need.

Pros

I like the user friendly tools and ease of editing photos and coming up with creative, unique projects and designs. I only use Photoshop and the Adobe creative suite products for everything I create. Photo retouching, logos, posters, banners, social media posts etc. I love that I can go between Photoshop and Illustrator and tweak things as needed. Its integration with the Creative Suite programs is very much appreciated. It provides all the features I need for my work with highly intelligent functions.

Cons

There does seem to be times where the program freezes, certain tools lose their lunch and I have to re-launch the program. It can be a bit buggy especially when my WiFi is spotty. Large files can take up too much space causing the program to crash as well.

Amazing Photo Editing/Graphic Design Software

Reviewed 2 years ago

This sofware allows for the creation of marketing material that facilitates for the smooth trasmission of information to you end user.

Pros

The most impactful features of this software would be, the ability to create graphic content that connects with your end user in the most unique and memorable way. Also,this program allows for its user to perfect the finish of photography and other photo related pieces like artworks. The Software indeed has a vast lerning curve as it is immensely diversed, but with the basics you casn easily build on it to become a professional. This software integrates quite smoothly with any business as long as you have an expert on hand to use its functions.

Cons

The products main con is the learning curve. If its a software you intend on jumping in to use without much practice, you are in for a treat, and its not a tasty one. It can be difficult to integrate with your business if you do no have someone on the team with the knowledge on how it is properly and effectively used.

The go to photo editor

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall the product is easy to get to know and works really well if you want to self-teach yourself

Pros

This product takes some time to understand but eventually you'll get there. Like most Adobe products I can get pretty far with experimenting to get a better understanding of the tools available. And Photoshop is no exception. File in- and export is really efficient and with the diverse toolset you can make anything. My favorite tool was the healing brush which can make your photos look more realistic.

Cons

Some features hidden within some tools appear a little hidden. The UI is very reminiscent of other Adobe software ofcourse, but with Photoshop I had to struggle the most to get to know the full scope of the product.

Il livello più alto per il foto ritocco

Reviewed 2 years ago

Photoshop è il mio pane quotidiano e lo considero sicuramente lo strumento più importate per un designer professionista. Non semplice l’impatto iniziale, ma i cambiamenti nel corso degli anni sono stati pochi e l’interfaccia nella sua semplicità permette a chiunque di immergersi nel mondo del graphic design.

Pros

La molteplicità di strumenti messi a disposizione che sono semplicemente di accompagnamento alla creatività della persona che ne fa uso

Cons

Considerata l’evoluzione dei software di design affini, sarebbe interessante poter rendere Photoshop uno strumento collaborativo in tempo reale

J'ai une longue expérience d'utilisation de photoshop et je n'ai jamais souhaité passer à un autre logiciel bien qu'on m'ait souvent conseillé d'utiliser plutôt Illustrator : pas envie de reprendre en main un logiciel différent.

Must-have Tool for Graphic Designer

Reviewed 2 years ago

As 10+ years user, the overall experience with Photoshop has been positive. Photoshop is my go-to tool for creating almost any visual creation required by my business. The tools in Photoshop enable me to quickly create creative works for clients while making simple changes.

Pros

Photo editing is easiest with Photoshop. It provides excellent results at a very reasonable price. Another benefit of Photoshop is how it works seamlessly with other programs within the Adobe Creative Suite. Having known Photoshop as an asset in this field for many years, I feel like Adobe has always provided me with good products. Photoshop is a fairly straightforward program with a user-friendly interface despite its drawbacks. Among all photo manipulation software, Adobe Photoshop is the best.

Cons

If you're just starting out in photo editing or designing generally, Photoshop can seem difficult. To master all of the features available in an image processing application requires a lot of practice. A high PC requirement would also be required for Photoshop to function well.

Powerful Software - A Longstanding Benchmark for Photo Editors

Reviewed 2 years ago

Photoshop allows me to retouch images with greater ease. It also allows greater flexibility for colour grading images. As my skill level increases in using the software, I've been able to work with images that would have otherwise been discarded if they were not perfect 'in camera'. All in all, Photoshop helps my business provide a more polished set of images to my clients.

Pros

Photoshop has become a critical part of my workflow in portrait photography. The flexibility for retouching faces, adjusting aspects with the liquify tool to reshape hair, the ability to easily add and blend overlays, freedom in adjusting colours, and so much more. This is a vital bit of software as it allows my creative vision to come through.

Cons

Photoshop can have a steep learning curve if you want to do more than the basics. However, this is to be expected because of just how super powerful the software is! It takes time to learn the ins and outs of the application, but once you do, you are able to stretch your creative vision in an almost limitless manner. Some newer features such as Neural Filters is making some of the tasks easier with Artificial Intelligence however, and it is expected that usage would become far easier in the next few versions.

Undisputed king of image-editing software

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have absolutely loved everything about Photoshop and its features. If not for the price and the toll it takes on lower-end systems, it would have been a keeper.

Pros

Photoshop is easily one of the best software I've ever used. It's incredibly packed with all features you could imagine to make you a pro image editor. From simple color correction to advanced image manipulation tools, Photoshop has it all. I absolutely love the unlimited choices you get with your own custom brushes, templates, fonts, textures etc. It makes a simple graphic design project so easy to implement, yet very creative with the execution. The toolbox is easily unmatched in its smoothness. Plenty of software have tried to implement the same toolset with varying degrees of success, but the efficiency and accuracy I've had with Photoshop is still unbeatable.

Cons

Obviously the price is ridiculous. I understand a heavy price for the software is compensated with its performance, but for a small-time designer like me, I don't need Creative Cloud or unnecessary integrations for simple projects. Plus, other software are providing competitive performance for free, so paying a hefty sum for this software simply isn't in my arsenal. Plus, the software is heavy on your system. Unless your computer has got a great RAM, be prepared for Photoshop to use up all the resources and slow down your system.
