It can do anything and bring imagination to life. Nothing competes especially for someone learning about it > > **Cons**: It definitely requires training from a class or mentor. However, it's totally worth it and it makes sense. ----- ### "Best Graphic Software" — 5.0/5 > **Clifford** | *4 October 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe Photoshop offers incredible flexibility for photo editing, graphic design, and logo creation. I like how precise its tools are — especially layers, masking, and blending modes, which allow me to refine every detail. The integration with other Adobe apps like Illustrator and Lightroom also makes my workflow smoother. It’s an all-in-one platform for both beginners and professionals. > > **Cons**: The subscription cost can be quite high for freelancers or small business users. It also requires a powerful computer to run smoothly, and updates sometimes slow down performance. The learning curve for new users can be steep if you’re unfamiliar with advanced tools > > Overall, Photoshop remains my go-to software for image editing and design creation. It’s powerful, reliable, and constantly evolving with new AI tools that save time. Despite the price and learning curve, the quality of results and creative control make it well worth it. ----- ### "Couldn't do what I do without it" — 5.0/5 > **Stefanny** | *25 August 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of the software. I also love all of the tutorials not only online user post but adobe directly offers. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I do not love about this. > > I use adobe photo shop on a daily basis for everything from photo editing to advertisement creation. ----- ### "It might be time to look for better options" — 3.0/5 > **Francesco** | *2 January 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is still the leader of digital editing and creation, with painting, design, graphic and editing tools. Basically everything it is needed to create or edit images. > > **Cons**: the massive adoption of a.i. tools, the automatic ingestion of your own images for training, the ongoing changes in their ToS to accomodate their a.i. building makes now everything shady and doubtful. > > I have to admin. I used photoshop for years both at works and on my personal computer but know both me and my friends do not trust their privacy over their 360 degree a.i. adoption ----- ### "Photoshop - the best image enhancement program there is" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *23 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Photoshop lets photographers and designers do amazing things to enhance their photographs and designs. It's Adobe Camera Raw plug-in greatly simplifies the process. > > **Cons**: Photoshop has so many features and so many ways to do essentially the same thing (some of which work better in some situations, and others of which work better in other situations) that the learning curve is enormous--even with the vast learning aids Adobe provides. > > I have been using Photoshop for more than 20 years. It gets better and better as improvements in computers and data storage allow the Photoshop engineers to include more powerful features. Adobe spends enormous resources consulting with its user base. The results demonstrate the users' expertise. ----- Page: 1 / 99\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/221524/adobe-photoshop?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/221524/adobe-photoshop) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
