"The industry standard. Photoshop for the win!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop?

Photoshop allows me to do most anything to my images as a professional photographer. It is an extremely advanced creative tool, and even though I've been using it for years and years (before Adobe bought it) I still regularly learn new things it can do. It's my go-to editing/creating tool. Despite the complexity, actions allow me to replicate things I do over and over which saves lots of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop?

The complexity - I wish I had a better handle on all the commands, keystrokes, and layout options. There seems to be no end to the complexity. The more I delve into the details, the more I realize I only know a fraction of what this software is capable of. I also wish it could edit vector images; it is for raster images only. I'm not fond of the subscription model for pricing, but I understand that is quickly becoming the standard (if it isn't already) for commercial software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Photoshop:

If you're serious about creating artwork Photoshop is a must. Just be prepared for a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to finish my artwork and create pieces valued by my clients. I can automate redundant tasks, do minor touch-ups to an image, or build a completely new image with tools like layers and masks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
