Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Photoshop
I use Photoshop CC nearly every day to implement graphics for email newsletters, website graphics, branding mockups, social media posts, wireframing and templating websites and applications. I also lead community courses covering Photoshop, to an audience of primarily small-business owners. Photoshop's features save me an incredible amount of time, and I will be a user for life.
- Wireframing and templating websites and mobile apps.
- Photo retouching.
- Photo manipulation.
- Creating web graphics.
- Working with text. Would be nice to see some advanced typography options.
- Need more in-depth tutorials on 3D features.
- Better organization of swatches.
- Big time saver with actions and templates make it way easier to pump out graphics quickly
- Subscription model makes updating software pretty much seamless
- Integrates with other Adobe CC applications (Illustrator, InDesign, Brackets, Premiere, etc.) very well
- Gimp
I am a professional designer, so I need reliable software and I need it to function properly. Photoshop does everything I need it to and has many shortcuts and timesaving actions and filters. I also work with a non-destructive workflow. Gimp and other free alternatives make it difficult to work non-destructively using masks and adjustment layers, Photoshop makes the non-destructive workflow a charm.
