Overall, Adobe Ps is what I'd recommend for all designers to edit photos, even better than lightroom unless you're a professional photographer. You can sync with the creative cloud and have auto-updates to the software through the cloud subscription.
Adobe has been the best photo editing software I've used since becoming a graphic designer. There are constant updates from Adobe, the Creative Cloud is super helpful with tutorials and upgrades, and the interface is very clean.
Still a slow processor on their newer tools/functions.

The Adobe Photoshop software is one of the most popular photo editing and graphic design software for both professionals and amateurs. It has been used for over 5 years to edit photos, create logos, and design layouts.Photoshop is a very powerful tool that can help you create great logos, designs, and more.
Photoshop is a powerful photo editing software that has been around for over 20 years. It is one of the most popular and widely used photo editing software by professionals and amateurs alike.Pros:-It has a wide range of features and tools that help you edit photos in just about any way imaginable-It is easy to use with an intuitive user interface-You can work on your photos in layers which helps you edit them more precisely-It's compatible with other Adobe products like Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, etc.
-It can be expensive if you are not a professional photographer or designer-The interface can be confusing for beginners because it lacks some basic features like undo button or brush size selector

Não por acaso o Photoshop é a ferramenta visual mais utilizada no mundo, possibilitando uma enormidade de ações para profissionais de áreas distintas. São mais de 10 anos utilizando o software quase diariamente para editar fotografias, criar e manipular artes para os mais variados usos, sem abrir mão da qualidade que o aplicativo entrega. Sem dúvida ainda há muito a aprender e explorar.
O Photoshop é o software que mais utilizo em meu dia a dia, tanto na atividade de designer como de fotógrafo. O range de possibilidades é gigantesco e permite criar desde postagens para redes sociais a montagens a partir de fotografias explorando recursos avançados baseados com inteligência artificial de qualidade. Edição básica de fotografias também se mostra como um diferencial, mesmo que não seja necessário fazer grandes manipulações. Poucos cliques e o programa resolve.
Difícil apontar aspectos negativos do Photoshop. Por vezes, em algumas atualizações, o programa perde performance ou apresenta alguns bugs chatos que rapidamente são contornados em um novo lançamento.

As of yet certain important functions featured in Photoshop are yet to be developed in alternative apps, such as extensively working with layer masking, or adjustment layers.
Takes up a lot of memory on my computer and slows my computer down significantly. Crashes easily and autosave is unreliable.

Grazie a Adobe Photoshop, ho risolto problemi aziendali superando i limiti della mia immaginazione e creando contenuti al di fuori del mio normale campo creativo grazie all'intelligenza artificiale.
La cosa che mi è piaciuta di più di Photoshop è che da la possibilità di lavorare con una vasta gamma di formati di file, tra cui JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PSD e molti altri.
La cosa che mi è piaciuta di meno è il fatto che Photoshop richiede un computer con specifiche hardware e software, e queste esigenze possono essere significative. Gli utenti con computer meno potenti potrebbero riscontrare problemi di prestazioni.

I have had an incredible experience with Adobe photoshop and the Adobe team in general. Their customer service is unmatched.
Photoshop is probably one of my most used programs. Over the years Adobe has continued to surprise and delight with new features and updates. That is one of the things that stand out to me about this product. Adobe is never satisfied with what they have, But are continuing to research and develop to come up with more innovative features as technology advances.Every year during the Adobe Max conference, I am absolutely thrilled at all of the advances and strides that Adobe makes to simplify and make my job even easier. I could not imagine going a day without this program. Don't be fooled by knock offs. This is the one.
The user interface does have a learning curve as It is packed with features. This can make it a bit cumbersome to navigate through especially when 1st starting off, But it is well worth it as the software is the most powerful on the market.

Overall Photoshop is a mandatory standard for my business. My business would fail if it wasn't for photoshop. Love this app.
I love this app. I use this app for my photography and graphic designs. Once you learn this app I couldn't imagine using anything. There's too many features to name. All I can say if you are a visual creative this app is a must have.
One con is that this app can be intimidating at first. It looks more different to use then it is. Other than that an amazing app.

It Was Lovely I Would Deffenitly Recommend Itto My Work Partners And Not To people Who will photoshop for a hobby.
What Are My Positive Thoughts On Adobe Photoshop After Using It For Business Class For More Than An Year. I Think The Software Is Incredible. I Used It For My Business Class Where They Thought Us How to Make Atractive Image Ads That Would Sell the product. The interface was easy to use. The tools were all top peak quality, and it was an app or something that could be downloaded which in my opinion is something I love way better than browser extensions. I thought That It was The best Editing Software Out There Ad I was Always Happy With My Work. I would Totally recommend It For Any Student Or Professional.
I Didn't Like The Obvious The Extremely expensive price that the software makes you pay to use it. As A student I was not in a good financial place So Having to pay the ridiculous pricing was pain to my wallet. Honestly Nothing else Did I hate I wouldn't Reccomen It to A Kid Or Adult who Is Just Starting To Learn How To Use Softwares Like These As There are More Free Alternatives Out there that will get the job done.

Photoshop has taken my designs and graphics to a more professional level and of great quality
Photoshop allows us to create any type of design, it has a very short learning curve, but mastering it is a bit more complex, it is a very interesting software that now any company needs to design its image.
The price of the adobe suite is significantly costly for SMEs or freelancers, so the monthly cost of said membership should be considered

Photoshop is the ultimate editing software. We even call editing any images "photoshopping" for a reason! It's such an easy to use software. It has so many layers that we haven't even delved into, the possibilities are endless.
The price of photoshop just keeps going up, but it hasn't changed much or improved. It's just the standard great product, but at a higher price.

I have not had any problems with the program. Access and synchronizing custom brushes, gradients and patterns on any computer is so beautiful. Currently include information and tutorials to help new users. I would recommend this software because it works for illustrators, photographers and designers.
Now Adobe Photoshop is the best software to create beautiful graphics and photographys. It's perfect because you can make advanced picture adjustments, manipulate color, and fix perspectives. In the latest versions, the "Neural Filters" option offers enhanced photos and increased creativity. The best option is the easy sky replacement, i love this tool.
The high resource consumption of a computer makes it necessary to have a device that has the minimum requirements for it to work perfectly.

Adobe Photoshop has increased my productive because of it's time saving tools and features. I recommend it to anyone looking for a design software.
I male flyers with Photoshop much faster compared the software i gave use before. Features like shortcuts, easy use of fonts, one-click background removal have helped me make flyers for my business much faster.
The large psd files that fill up my hard drive. I wish Adobe could find a way to fix this especially if you are making high quality, big size designs.

Overall I would say this is by far my most cherished program installed on all PC's I operate. You can edit an image with surgeon like precision and no other program that I know of can do that.
I personally like that various things this program can do, like the automated actions. All I need to do is open an image and click on the action I want and it will handle the rest. It's great for quickly adding a cool border to an image or style.
I'm not a big fan of all the different expansions that have come out since Photoshop 3 as it gets all kinds of confusing and overly complicated for a program. Why do we need a photoshop CS3, photoshop CS3 extended, Photoshop CS3 Suite.

Overall, the application and the UI is really eye-catching and interesting. Very easy to work. I have tried some other apps as well. Compared to those Adobe Photoshop is really easy.
Very easy for designing and quick editing. Cloning, removing a specific part from an image using the patch tool.
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.

Overall Photoshop is an excellent piece of software with is trusted around the globe for professional and personnel use.
Photoshop is a highly powerful software that is packed with many amazing features. Photoshop is easy to learn and a new user can learn it pretty quickly. Photoshop also excels in graphic designing and it's very useful software.
Photoshop is a very useful software but if you are not looking for expensive software you can always find cheap alternatives. Many options are relatively cheap and some are also free.

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
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.
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

I use photoshop in editing pictures, honestly like it more than lightroom because I can do more with psd.
I honestly like Adobe overall. The similarity in design and regularly updates are great.
It's price. There are actually similar products that are free, but I still use photoshop because I am loyal to Adobe. It was the first set of programmes I ever used for design or photo editing.

I used photoshop for many years, but for simple touch up, I rather go with Lightroom, its faster and it organizes well photos. Photoshop is for serious job, big surgery, it's more professional, however, it's not user friendly. You really need time to dive in the workshop. The update is good and bad at the same time. Adobe doesn't give you an option to use old version. You have to keep update until your computer is too "old" to keep up. So, you have to buy a new computer if you want to stay in the job. And every year, you have to go through the training to learn new functions. Some update is not necessary making life easier. When Lightroom shew up, Photoshop became more and more exclusive for graphic designer and photographer.
1. A lot of functions, professional. 2. Updates with new functions 3. It's on the market for long time and get used to it. 4. Compatible with other Adobe softwares.
1. pricy, monthly rental, if you have an old computer, you can't use new version. 2. too much update, almost every year you need to take a workshop to understand what's going on. 3. Not really user friendly.

Lo uso dalla prima versione ed ho avuto il piacere di insegnarlo per diverso tempo. Per il mio lavoro è uno strumento fondamentale. Mi permette di creare grafiche web e di ritoccare immagini in maniera veloce e ad ogni release vengono implementati strumenti interessantissimi.
Photoshop è il software standard e il migliore per l'editing di immagini e foto in circolazione. Permette all'utente di aggiungere, rimuovere, modificare qualsiasi cosa, dalle dimensioni ai colori, di un'immagine grazie a un pacchetto di strumenti incredibili. Ci sono poi numerosi plugins che permettono di dare alle nostre immagini effetti stupefacenti. L'interfaccia è all'apparenza semplice e permette ad un nuovo utente di essere subito produttivo ma questi, con l'esperienza, si accorgerà che Photoshop ha molto di più da offrire.
Photoshop è molto potente ma per elaborare le immagini in modo rapido è necessario una potente CPU e una grande quantità di RAM.

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