Adobe Cloud and Photoshop, Best solutions for organisations.

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: Overall, I have used Adobe Photoshop for several years to get the desired output on the images. As an IT Professional, I have worked with several design applications and Photoshop is the best among them all.

Pros:

Adobe Photoshop is the best tool in Graphics design and photo editing. It brings a real-time impression to images to meet the needs of an individual or organization for the set of delivery with filters, layers, set of design, enhancement, and merging of images. With new Photoshop AI features, it makes life easy for the graphic design team to get the desired output.

Cons:

The New Version of Photoshop with AI requires more training and knowledge to work effectively.

Adobe Photoshop Review

5.0 last month New

Comments: Great tools and features, but still questioning on how to utilize it by teaching myself. Perfect for people who are in designing.

Pros:

numerous great features. I can generate the highest quality of works through the Adobe Photoshop program. It is obviously a necessary program for people who do some art-related (designers, advertiser..) jobs for living. If you are familiar with every feature and know how to use it, it is the best choice for your design. But not for me.

Cons:

I was trying to get a refund because I do not want to keep the subscription due to the pricey fee for me, it was really difficult to get matched with a representative to help me to get a refund. It took forever and even after chatting with the representative, I still need to explain why I want to get a refund even though I haven't used Adobe Photoshop after the fee had been paid. There could be more students who think this program is a bit expensive and difficult to use. That is why I decided to stop subscribing to Adobe Photoshop.

great for high quality edits but it slow

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: I really enjoy adobe photoshop for high quality edits. I find that the slowness of the program has me editing elsewhere unless the project requires higher edits.

Pros:

I really like the high quality editing that you can do in Photoshop.

Cons:

- The program is really slow - I find with the new AI editing that the program is slower and glitches. This may be because my computer is older and needs an upgrade. - It takes some time to learn how to use all the features

Photoshop is the BOMB!

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: As I said above, I use Photoshop EVERY day - and I love it! If you are a creative professional (or aspire to be) this is a MUST HAVE tool to have in your skill set.

Pros:

Photoshop is THE standard for any type of image editing. Photo editing, graphics creation, broadcast graphics, etc. - it can do it all! I use Photoshop EVERY day!

Cons:

While the basic use it pretty intuitive, Photoshop does soooo much that the learning curve can be a bit steep, in order to get comfortable with the more advanced (read COOLEST) features. AND - the cost is prohibitive for small firms and hobbyists.

Adobe Photoshop Review

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: My overall experience with Adobe Photoshop has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who loves creating digital art and manipulating photos, I’ve found Photoshop to be the ultimate tool to bring my ideas to life. It has a steep learning curve, but the rewards are immense once you overcome that initial challenge. The power to transform images and create stunning graphics is unparalleled, and the constant updates from Adobe ensure that the software stays ahead of the curve with the latest technology.

Pros:

Photoshop offers some of the most powerful editing tools on the market, allowing for everything from simple adjustments to highly complex image manipulations. Tools like the Clone Stamp, Healing Brush, and Liquify give you ultimate control over your images. With Photoshop, you can remove unwanted objects, correct colors, enhance details, and even merge multiple images seamlessly. What I love most about Photoshop is its immense flexibility. Whether you’re creating stunning compositions from scratch, retouching photos, or adding creative effects, there’s a tool or feature that makes it possible. The software continues to amaze me with its detailed layer control, precision in image manipulation, and ability to bring almost any creative vision to life.

Cons:

Photoshop is a very powerful tool, but that power comes at the cost of complexity. Beginners may find the interface overwhelming, and even experienced users often discover new tools and techniques they were unaware of. It takes dedication and time to truly master the software.

Comments: Using Adobe Photoshop has been both rewarding and challenging; its advanced features empower creativity and precision, but the complexity and resource demands can slow productivity for those new to the software.

Pros:

I love Adobe Photoshop for its powerful editing tools, layer flexibility, and incredible precision. It enables professional-grade creativity and customization for stunning visuals, photo manipulations, and diverse design projects.

Cons:

What I like least about Adobe Photoshop is its complexity for beginners, high system requirements, and occasional lag, making the creative process slower and sometimes frustrating.

Adobe Photoshop User w/4 Years of Experience

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: After getting accustomed to the platform, I have become a frequent user of Adobe Photoshop. It is a helpful tool for most, if not all, of my image editing/creation needs.

Pros:

I like how Adobe Photoshop can meet each designer where they are. If you are a novice or only need basic photo editing tools, it is more than what you need. If you need to customize images, Adobe Photoshop is an amazing tool that can take your designs to the next level.

Cons:

The basic tools are easy enough to find and utilize. However, there is a learning curve to master and use advanced features.

Omg! Adobe Rocks

5.0 7 months ago

Pros:

Adobe Photoshop has been a game-changer in my creative journey. Its versatility and power in digital image editing and graphic design have allowed me to bring my artistic visions to life. I appreciate the comprehensive toolset it offers, from layers and masks to filters and an array of brushes, which have enabled me to perform intricate and detailed work with ease.

Cons:

While I greatly appreciate Adobe Photoshop for its versatility and power, there are some downsides that I've encountered. One of the biggest challenges for me has been the steep learning curve. With its vast array of tools and features, mastering Photoshop has required a significant investment of time and effort, which can be overwhelming at times. Additionally, the cost can be a barrier. As someone who isn't a full-time professional, the subscription model feels quite expensive, and I often find myself weighing its value against my budget.

Adobe Photoshop: An Industry Standard for So Many Reasons

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: I can't operate my business without Photoshop. Although there are always improvements to be made, I've noticed that Adobe has been on top of addressing necessary updates with each new version release.

Pros:

I liked that it not only is a part of the Adobe Creative Suite, but is an integrated piece. Meaning, I have the ability to move from one software to Photoshop (and vice versa) without losing quality or formatting.

Cons:

I still wish that Adobe would further standardize the meny functions. Each program within the suite has similar cross over tools, but they are often found in different places within each program and sometimes referred to with different titles.
