The user interface makes it easy to use and understand. Sharing the same layout with other Adobe softwares such as Illustrator and After Effects makes working on projects a breeze. The capabilities for this software seems endless with many years of use, still feel like i haven't scratched the surface to what can be created on the software. > > **Cons**: whilst boasting may features it can become a bit overwhelming even after many years of use, i feel those with no design experience will struggle to use the software or where to start. The pricing of the software on it's own can also be considered a barrier for those who want use photoshop for personal use. > > I've really enjoyed using photoshop for creating graphics and touching up images. It's the best software out there in my opinion for designs, and when you become comfortable understanding it, makes expanding your designs easy through other adobe platforms. ----- ### "AI isn't magic, and even if it were, you don't get much for your money." — 2.0/5 > **David** | *4 January 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It goes without saying that its long history as a household name and industry standard photo editor is not unearned. For a wedding photographer, it's an excellent tool and can definitely do the job most of the time, in the right hands. > > **Cons**: Its expensive pay monthly subscription model and reliance on AI is not in its favour. Many other options are available, and despite the hype over AI, the results are unsatisfactory when digging deeper, and equally good (or bad) results can be achieved with free alternatives, albeit with a little extra work and hardware. In case you're thinking of renting Photoshop for its AI features to do the work for you, bear in mind that with the basic Photoshop subscription you get very little use of its generative AI features per month unless you pay for an even more expensive add-on package. If you don't need generative AI, there are many other options out there. While I find generative AI underwhelming and grossly over-hyped, I have conducted many hours of tests and experimented with many models and workflows, including custom ComfyUI set-ups and decided that using Krita with AI produced just as good (or bad), and sometimes better results than Photoshop's, for free. > > I still use Photoshop CS3 regularly and have done since 2010. It was paid outright, and if Photoshop were still available as a perpetual licence product, it would probably rate higher. I did a thorough test of the latest version of Photoshop at the very end of 2025 and decided it was definitely not worth the subscription. Affinity, while far from perfect, is a much preferable alternative for 99% of the work that can be done in Photoshop. ----- ### "Brilliant everyday tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the new AI features it makes editing and designing much faster. I use it everyday with work and is a key tool, would'nt get by without it. > > **Cons**: Not much that i don't like about the software, occasionally updates are huge and it takes up a lot of memory on my machine but is worth using. > > I have been using this software for years and now there are so many tutorials and places for help the amount of stuff you can learn to create is massive. ----- ### "Photoshop is a vital software for any designer" — 5.0/5 > **Maria** | *18 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Photoshop is currently implementing several updates that utilise the full potential of AI in designing. It has improved its actions sidebar, so it's so much easier to use, and users can now focus on their creative design, rather than trying to find various tools that do the job. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints about Photoshop. I think it has more potential, but I am looking forward to them being released in future updates. > > Photoshop is a completely dependable and vital software I use daily. It is the only one capable of supporting professional designers in any and all ways, and continues to be the best on the market. ----- ### "Crucial piece of software" — 4.0/5 > **Hannah** | *19 December 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a fully comprehensive piece of software which is crucial in my role as a graphic designer and pre-press technician. The customer support is good with some really helpful tutorials and there is a lot of automation built in in regards to image editing making it a lot easier to use when creating designs. > > **Cons**: It is hard to keep up to date with the changes and updates. It is capable of some clever things and it is a learning curve\! Also the worst thing I find is that it no longer supports Pantone colours. This has been a huge set back. > > I use Photoshop on a daily basis, whether I am colour correcting or cleaning up images, it is a vital piece of software for me. ----- Page: 1 / 100\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012156/adobe-photoshop?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012156/adobe-photoshop) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
