Adobe Photoshop Elements

5.0 last year

Comments: Photoshop completely turns my imaginations into reality.

Pros:

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the King of it all. It's not different from photoshop anyway. Photoshop completely revolutionalizes the way modern image manipulation is done. It's getting more and more intelligent as days fade off.The Pc version of adobe photoshop is extremely good and runs with no bugs attached. It enables me edit images, create awesome designs for business purpose.We use it more often for sculpting most of the banners we use on all our websites. Even though developers nd designers share different opinion on it's quality, So far it's been working great for us.The user interface is well designed and easy to navigate in addition to the fact that Photoshop is written in a simple and easy-to-understand language.

Cons:

There is no much to say about cons with Photoshop excepting the fact lightroom goes beyond where Photoshop stops.

Great Software for Graphic Designing

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: My overall experience of using Adobe photoshop is good. It has so much of features which I may even not familiar because it is very vast software.

Pros:

Adobe photoshop is an all rounder software for editing and designing. The best thing I like is that it has variety of colors and gradients which enhance your design. It has a magic eraser tool which removes the background of any picture in a counting number of seconds.

Cons:

The interface of the software is very complex and it is not beginner-friendly. The price is too high. Needs a large amount of space to operate smoothly otherwise it will run slow.
