Adobe Photoshop is being used by my organization every day. We are an eCommerce fashion platform and use Photoshop to retouch, color calibrate, resize and compress our images of models, shoes, accessories, and bags. The app is only being used by the Content department. We are 9 retouchers and a team leader. We use macOS and Windows. Some iMacs are not what you call "new". They don't run the last operative system, so the last version of Photoshop is not supported. It's not in the mind of anyone to change to another app, Photoshop is king on our land.
- Photoshop has a great hair mask brush, it's like any other on the market.
- The "Select subject" function uses Adobe Sensei (Adobe's AI) to do almost all the work for you.
- Photoshop is the best app for photo retouching and manipulation. You can Google that if you don't trust me.
- Photoshop has the best user community on the internet, followed by Microsoft Excel.
- Photoshop needs a smaller version for computers that help users to do some small things like cropping an image or color change them.
- Photoshop needs to upgrade its iPad app. It is not the full app, and it's embarrassing.
- Photoshop needs room for more user modifications like customized panels.
- Adobe Sensei needs to get bigger and smarter.
- Voice control would be great.

Photoshop is an integral component of our curriculum, both as a professional education facility that provides instruction to junior and senior high schools in digital media communications. We use Photoshop to create system marketing materials that our company publishes for distribution in local secondary schools for registration. Photoshop is an important program that our students study as part of our curriculum in graphic design and manipulation. Finally, students work for local organizations and companies, create advertisements, posters, leaflets, brochures, digital advertising and banners, video graphics and much more in our class. Photoshop is our first (and mostly last) pause when it comes to making graphics or picture editing.
- Strongly practical & incredibly flexible — Photoshop helps users to complete a LOT of photo reconstruction, graphic design, development on vectors (such as the design of logo), and digital painting ... also animation.
- Market Standard — Adobe Photoshop is one of the leading graphics editing tools in the market.
- Reactive and robust — Photoshop operates very well. I seldom experience device failure problems or crashes. They do what they do, and they do it well.
- Photoshop is a complex app — the basic tools and features that novice users can only find in the surface of Photoshop. Complete simple image editing (for example redimensioning, cutting and painting) can be easy to pick up easily, but most of the features require time to understand and master — which can be daunting for some people.
- Photoshop is not a software you can purchase. The Adobe Creative Cloud/Subscriptions Service. In its Innovative Cloud apps, Adobe integrates PS with subscription-based software. It will be perfect for beginners and experts – newcomers can only pay for (monthly) what they need and experts will never have to think about missing new apps because updates are included with the package. However, I have talked to a lot of consumers who just require a working software update, and want to buy a software license, who are completely dissatisfied.
- Photoshop takes up valuable hard disk space, the machine itself and the images in Photoshop. Plan to host this program with a big hard disk with plenty of memory space.

We deal with media, video, and photography, so we use Photoshop daily.
- I love that all the programs in the suite communicate with each other.
- I obviously work especially with layers and masks to post-produce my photos.
- The price. I preferred it when it was at a fixed cost and not a subscription. Although, now it offers much more.
- I don't see any other flaws. I have also read other reviews. Well, the learning curve is as high as it is logical for a professional product. And it is logical to require a powerful PC.

The graphic design department uses Adobe Photoshop to create and develop all the graphic content for our company, whether it is for advertising posters or for our social networks, it is a powerful tool that you can learn to use in a short time.
- Excellent very organized interface.
- It is very good for making photo montages.
- I can create 3D designs.
- It consumes a lot of resources from my computer.
- It requires a graphics card to be able to render some elements.
- You don't have many options for working with vectors.

At BAPS Charities, we use Photoshop for a lot of reasons. A bulk of this deals with Marketing and Advertising for events. As a non-profit, we have a lot of annual events where we need flyers, posters for the environment, Mailchimp campaigns, logos for those events and signs and banners. We also use these certain elements created in Photoshop in other software by Adobe. So if we create logos within Photoshop with individual layers, we can then animate logos and those individual layers in Adobe After Effects (an advanced video editing software), etc.
Photoshop is actually being used within the design team, video team as well as the marketing team throughout all locations across the country and around the world, so it helps solve a lot of the business problems relating to social events, and content that relates with each and every one of those events.
Photoshop is actually being used within the design team, video team as well as the marketing team throughout all locations across the country and around the world, so it helps solve a lot of the business problems relating to social events, and content that relates with each and every one of those events.
- It's the most notable software for graphic manipulation, so it comes with a lot of support from online communities, Youtube, etc.
- There are lots of sites that provide a baseline for starting every project you can think of ranging from logos, flyers, brochures, signs/ banners, etc, so you can easily download free templates from online and get a project that satisfies you.
- The interface is pretty simple, and each tool has its own "How to Use" instruction provided in one sentence for easy understanding for each user, so the curve for learning it is not that much.
- I have a Macbook now, but when I was younger, with a not so powerful Windows computer, Photoshop took a lot of ram and computer power, which made my computer slow and heated up a lot.
- It's strictly an image/ graphic manipulation software, so it doesn't have much when it comes to vector graphics. So you're basically working with pixels that become blurry at some point when you zoom in too much.
- Sometimes the cost of Photoshop can be a little depressing. Being a college student with a lot of loans and tuition, sometimes it can get scary with all the monthly subscription cost.

I use Adobe Photoshop to edit graphics for my company, though it isn't my primary job. Multiple people in the marketing team have their own accounts, and use it for things like editing graphics for presentations or emails. As a marketing manager, the software is constantly handy -- it allows me to do everything from create mockups for my projects to tweak headshots of colleagues and customers. I love the flexibility of the tool.
- Photo editing - It's the best tool in the market.
- Layouts - Though not primarily built for this, it works well enough for the basics.
- It requires a lot of memory for my laptop. I need to close other applications when I use it!
- I'm not too fond that it's all cloud-based now.

Our small communication team utilizes Adobe Photoshop, as well as our IT director. We mainly use it in creating designs for graphic-based social media posts and marketing emails, and most especially for editing photos for use in publications, including social media, our quarterly magazine, and letters that go out multiple times a year to our supporters, alumni, churches, and donors.
- Ease of cropping and resizing photos is the biggest use for me, even though it's a robust program capable of a lot more than that! I manage our social media accounts using a social media scheduling tool that requires images to be under 10MB. Photoshop makes it easy for me to quickly resize our high res photos to constraints that fit for this platform.
- Image retouching is pretty synonymous with Photoshop, but it is still worth highlighting. It is great for quick fixes even if you don't have a ton of knowledge with image editing software. We mainly use it for brightening photos for our print publications, as well as smoothing out any minor flaws in photos, such as missing patches in grass.
- It sounds silly, but Photoshop makes it easy for me to find the HEX codes I need for use in HTML. Sometimes I need specific colors for our website and marketing mails, and it's easy to find any color in the world I want and quickly grab the HEX that corresponds with it.
- It would be great if the toolbar was a little more intuitive and detailed, especially for new users. It takes some time to figure out what button serves what purpose, but this is honestly a very minor "downside" to have. There are lots of YouTube videos and other completely free resources to help get a better grasp of Photoshop.

We use Photoshop for our creative for our company and for our clients - Ads, email banner headers, digital photo retouching (for when there are errors in photos), designing social media images, print... There are so many applications for it. Ultimately, it helps us create pro graphics and designs and work with high-end graphics to represent our company and that of our clients. It's a vital program in our line of work.
- Photo Retouching - Some of our clients have photoshoots - and even after the photographer has edited the photos, we have to crop something out, remove a ring, add a background. PhotoShop is our go-to program for that.
- High-end graphics - We are able to engage in advanced editing, in-detail, and at high Res so that the images that we make (and that represents our clients) are print or screen-ready.
- Versatility - You can use it for design, layering images, creating new effects, batching your work - there are lots of possibilities with this program.
- Price: They used to charge $800 every few years for a newer upgraded version, and now it's on subscription status. Now, to use PhotoShop it's $50 per month. It's not awful, but I'd be a more passionate brand evangelist if they took the cost down a bit more :)
- Adobe PhotoShop CAN but it isn't ideal to create brochures and multi-page print layouts (you can, but InDesign is a much better product for that).
- Photoshop is OK for social graphics. Adobe SPARK is the new product to help with batch graphics. (thank you adobe).
- The difficulty of use - This is an advanced program. I really wouldn't recommend it for newbies. It takes a learning curve to work with it.

We use Adobe Photoshop for a variety of purposes during the creation of various marketing materials, websites, and social media graphics. Photoshop makes it easy to customize logos, edit and resize photos, match custom brand colors and more. In addition to being an incredible tool for customizing graphics, it's also easy to include text when creating marketing slicks and promotional flyers and ads.
- Adobe Photoshop makes it easy to edit, customize and resize photos which is perfect for social media applications and for building websites.
- If you download a logo or other graphic from a stock photo site, Photoshop makes it extremely easy to customize and include the brand's custom colors.
- Incredible Photoshop templates are readily available on endless sites. Download and open in Photoshop to quickly modify the pre-designed layers. Your final product will look like it took weeks to design and create.
- The learning curve is a bit steep at first. Perhaps a brief tutorial video could pop up the first time you use each new tool or function. (The user should be given the option to watch or close the video, depending on their needs.)
- The tool bar shows one icon but hidden under that icon are additional tools. New users might not be aware of the hidden tools.
- Uploading compatible tools, such as additional brushes, is a bit complicated at first. Perhaps create a simple pathway with an upload button.

We use Photoshop everyday to design graphics, adjust photography, produce mockups, and support various business activities. Though not everyone in our office is a power user, everyone is comfortable opening a file and making adjustments to it on a regular basis. Photoshop is one of the core apps our business uses to provide services to our clients and it would be difficult to do business without it.
- Edit photography.
- Design mockups for the web.
- Create social media graphics.
- It's a weighty app.
- Can be overkill for small projects.
- Steep initial learning curve.
Our company uses Photoshop for web and print design. We are often using to adjust color in photos, create clipping paths, and save different file types. An advantage is how user friendly it is and it works across all platforms...PC and Mac. Being able to work in layers is also a big bonus.
- Color adjustment of photographs.
- Clipping paths.
- Layered files for web design.
- Font usage could be a little more using friendly. I would like to have more control of formatting of fonts.

I currently use Adobe Photoshop to touch up photos and create infographics and advertisements for our department. It is also used for graphic design and photo editing in the university branding and marketing office. It is extremely important to have eye-catching designs and photos to use in printed pieces as well as digital images.
- Adobe Photoshop provides great features to design an image from a blank canvas.
- Users are able to create dynamic images for a variety of multimedia platforms.
- The software is great for creating works of art from a simple photo.
- This is not an intuitive software for a beginning user, especially if the user has not used any of the Adobe design products.
- The cost can scare some away. Although you can subscribe to a monthly plan for the cloud version, a stand alone version is very costly.
- It would be extremely useful to have wizards for creating filters and various types of photo masks. Easily accessible shortcuts would be such a time saver!

Adobe Photoshop is being used by my organization when it comes to designing invites for events, survival guides, documents, programs, menu cards for events... it is also used to create handouts, with images, and to edit photos in print publications. Photoshop is primarily used in that aspect; I am unsure how else it is used.
- Editing, editing photos, create documents.
- Creating menus and place cards.
- Survival guides.
- It's not very user-friendly, as far as learning all the features.
- I wish there were more ways to learn how to use these options.

We use Adobe Photoshop for the creation of all graphics, images, and photos. Our branding and especially consistent branding is very important to us. Using Adobe Photoshop allows us to keep things consistent, fresh, and professional. As well, we use interns who have an incredibly high turnover rate (about 3 months) to create new templates and thumbnails. Photoshop is simple enough for new interns to learn and understand, but complex enough to allow me to do everything I need on a higher level.
- It allows you to create unlimited layers to provide depth to all projects.
- It's very user-friendly and customizable
- It allows you to create pretty much any style of file need, or change any file format.
- The magic tool and quick selection tool are great! However, they could use some fine-tuning.
- I'd love an autosave feature like Adobe Premiere.
- I would love for a more comprehensive mobile version.

I use Photoshop for image retouching which is my own initiative. It makes my work that much stronger. Even though it is not a primary software tool for most designers in a role similar to mine I personally find that it gives me an edge in my work.
- Image retouching.
- Basic animations.
- Color testing for accessibility purposes.
- Better integration with UX tools.
- Have commonly used features more prominent.
October 25, 2019
As a graphic designer, I use Adobe Photoshop on a daily basis. I design flyers, banners, Social Media posts, etc for businesses all around the world.
- Removing background
- Automating certain things i.e adding an image or logo to all images in one click.
- Integration with other tools
- Add more shortcuts like 'rasterize layer' could be Control R for example

Photoshop is used by all graphic and motion graphic designers within our organization. Marketing and Training are the two main departments that are using the software.
In addition to some light design work Photoshop comes in handy for altering photos for specific projects as well as a creation tool I use frequently in video projects I'm structuring.
In addition to some light design work Photoshop comes in handy for altering photos for specific projects as well as a creation tool I use frequently in video projects I'm structuring.
- Photo alteration (editing the image in size, resolution, content, and more). Having the ability to adapt photographs and graphics for specific uses is invaluable.
- Image creation is an important aspect of my work in video and motion graphic creation. Photoshop is used consistently in order for me to deliver the content requested in the manner requested.
- Photoshop is the "go to" software for working with images worldwide. Let's not pretend otherwise. It's the king of the hill for a reason.
- There's a learning curve. If you don't know it, you'll be limited in what you can achieve.
- It's not the most straightforward UI. Sometimes you must dig to find the settings you need.

Photoshop is used heavily for marketing, large batch photo adjustments and editing projects within the organization for publication. It allows us to quickly make complex edits in batch to large amounts of images in short amounts of time and is very user friendly. It also allows us to easily convert images to other types.
- Web image generation.
- Complex editing.
- Converting image formats.
- Batch editing.
- Support could be improved.
- Steep learning curve for new users.
We use Photoshop almost daily in a variety of ways. It is a superior application for editing and manipulating images. The ability to adjust the color, size and resolution of images far exceeds other similar products. Our work as designers depends on the use of Photoshop and the fact that it is a professional-level program that we can count on for accuracy.
- Image resolution.
- Color adjustment.
- Layering of information about an image.
- Editing, cropping, and retouching.
- It is a challenge to learn all of the capabilities Photoshop offers.
October 17, 2019
We use Photoshop elements exclusively to edit and prepare our photos for publishing to our website. We have tried other cheaper products but could never find one that could accomplish what Photoshop does.
- Excellent for removing unwanted backgrounds from photos.
- Very good at correcting color issues from a bad snapshot.
- Very fast to resize and transform images.
- It takes a while for it to open.
- Need cheaper subscription cost to the full program.
- I'd like to see a select item by color in the elements version.
Photoshop is our go-to for all digital design and elaborate photo editing. Without this amazing tool, we would not be able to convey the message we deliver on a global scale. Additionally, we use PS to craft unique logos and designs to elevate our marketing messages. Photoshop is used daily in our organization and it is highly recommended!
- Image enhancement.
- Logo creation.
- Crafting social media messages.
- Ease of use.
- Application file size.
- Cloud storage capacity.

While I am in no way an expert in Photoshop, this software has been an important piece of my marketing efforts for years (even before my current position). If you are a designer, you're likely using the full Adobe Suite and utilizing InDesign or Illustrator more. However, if you are like me, you may just need to do some minor tweaks to images or other files, and Photoshop is great for that, in addition to having an immense wealth of tools that I don't utilize because I'm not a designer!
- Industry Standard for Photo Editing
- Easy to use - even for a novice
- Finding help via tutorials and YouTube is very easy
- Can be overwhelming at first
- There are so many tools that unless you really devote time, it can be tough to know how to do more complex things
- This is a more expensive software than some....but you do get what you pay for. There is a reason this is an industry standard.

Adobe Photoshop is a highly valuable design tool for the in-house creative team in mMarketing at my company. We use it on a daily basis to quickly create graphic assets for email and social campaigns, digital ads, web graphics, collateral, trade show graphics, etc. Other departments have individual team members who occasionally use it, but the marketing creative team are the primary users.
- Excellent photo-editing capabilities. Not as robust as Lightroom, but more than sufficient for most design needs.
- Smart Objects are a life-saver. They allow for flexibility in editing a placed object in its original file format (e.g. editing a vector smart object in Illustrator with changes applying immediately in Photoshop).
- History Panel is equally a life-saver. As a 20-year veteran of Photoshop, I remember the days of no history or limited history, which forced designers to save out multiple versions throughout the design process or risk making impossible-to-revert changes.
- Healing brushes (all the varieties) are amazingly smart and useful in touching up photos without painstaking use of the rubber stamp tool.
- Infinite history would be an improvement over the large, but still limited, number of re-do's currently available.
- Text editing in Photoshop could be more consistent with Illustrator/InDesign.
- Saving to various formats (.jpg, .pdf) has been buggy with recent Mac OS releases.
We use Photoshop to prepare product mockups for clients, create flat web designs, build digital assets, and for basic retouching and editing. I am currently the only team member using Photoshop, though we do periodically work with interns who assist with build-outs for clients. I also have sharing access to other clients' libraries which I help manage, maintain & create assets within their CC files & folders. Using Photoshop CC, we are able to easily share assets without having to relink or manually send linked/packaged assets. It also helps clients have access to the assets created during a project without having to do a large file transfer at project completion (works best if they have their own CC account that we can contribute to since library ownership is non-transferrable).
- Lots of tools & solutions that allow it to be used for both quick & simple tasks and for more complex editing projects.
- Ability to access, use and add to Library assets quickly and easily.
- Ability to run automation/scripts to expedite manual processes that are repeated.
- Graphic layers, adjustment layers, and masks provide flexibility when editing to best achieve the desired result.
- Compatibility with a Wacom pen tablet for increased control and precision when using tools.
- Certain updates and key commands differ in Photoshop than in other CC products (like Illustrator and InDesign), which makes switching between products a little cumbersome (e.g., in Photoshop the default is for images to scale in-proportion, in Illustrator you must hold shift to retain proportion).
- On dual display monitors, sometimes the palettes have difficulty displaying correctly (e.g., splitting between displays) and application window settings have to be switched in order to reset it.
- There are so many tools and capabilities, it can be overwhelming for new users or to feel like you really have a grasp on everything it can do.
- Actions don't work with Libraries, so if you need to place a logo (e.g., for watermarking), it still has to be done locally, which makes sharing actions between team members very difficult and must be re-setup locally for each person.
October 14, 2019
I am an instructional designer and a big bulk of my work is around creating courses and in many situations I have to edit images to make them better or highlight them in a course; this is instrumental for what I do in my department. For other departments, I sometimes support the marketing team and help them create/fix images as needed for shows.
- Has an abundance of features that can fix any number of problems
- Lots of tutorials and how to's online
- Easy to implement
- It is not user friendly, it takes a very long time to master Photoshop
