Adobe PhotoShop

Well suited: Advertising firm where graphics plays a huge role on day to day basis not sure where if less appropriate most jobs require some design experience

Adobe Photoshop is a great tool for anyone who is in a creative role, or where you need creative assets for your work. It is a tool that has endless possibilities. It is great for photographers, designers, social media specialists, HR teams, etc. I highly recommend the product because of its vast functionality. However, if you are not going to be using it on a regular basis, it may not be the best solution because it is pricey. You may be better off using a tool like Canva in that case.

It is the standard for all digital image manipulation. Graphic design, illustration, photography... all areas that Adobe Photoshop is an essential tool for. It is the standard in many industries for good reason, it performs tremendously. However, if you only need to edit an image occasionally, it might be overkill. You might be better suited with a simpler and cheaper option.

Adobe Photoshop has taken our companies' marketing material to the next level. It allows us to create exactly what we want, whereas before, we were limited in design types and quality. Adobe has also made our collaboration easier with our vendors, particularly our print company, so they are happier now as well.

This is suited well in settings where people have time to be trained and learn how to use it and its capabilities. It can do a lot more than other editing products out there and is well known. If you have time to learn it and be familiar with it, it is very worthwhile. It is appropriate for making professional edits and even for personal use.

If you are a graphic designer, photographer, or other graphics professional, you should really get Photoshop. But you probably already knew that. It is the industry standard and it does all sorts of bitmap/raster/photo production very well.

If you need something only for basic or occasional work, the cost and complexity of this app are probably not worth it. If you mainly want to do quick edits or apply filter effects to digital photos, there are other apps that are cheaper and more efficient.

For everyday editing and background removal tasks, [Adobe] Photoshop is fantastic and probably a little more than you need maybe but I enjoy using it.

I would highly recommend PhotoShop for most image editing purposes. It is very helpful when designing professional-looking illustrations or figures and ensuring they have the appropriate resolution. It is less appropriate for putting together technical images, line diagrams, or presentations (like Powerpoint). Users require time to adequately edit photos, so it is not a good 'on the fly' editing app.

For basic editing, [Adobe] Photoshop might be overkill and something like free or simple tools might be better. But, if you are professional, you need to understand the fullness of the ability.

Adobe Photoshop can be used in so many applications. There's really no limit into what you can use Photoshop for…except page layout :-). When you pair it with Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator it only becomes more powerful. But just being able to edit images or create a detailed design you really can make Photoshop do whatever you want.

Adobe PhotoShop is well suited for anyone who's working within the industry of design and/or photography or even a small mom and pop type of business who wears a lot of hats and does their own design work. It's got a bit of a learning curve but you could start using it within an hour to do basic things and create something.

Adobe Photoshop is still the industry standard in many ways. They offer top-of-the-line photo editing. There are many cheaper competitors, but most have limited functionality of some sort. Those limitations may not be important for some jobs, but if you really want a powerhouse, Photoshop is the best option. I use it for composite images and cleaning up image quality or lighting, retouching headshots, and creating design layouts. Lightroom is great for image quality, and InDesign is great for layout. But honestly, with just a little more know-how and potentially a little more work, you can do it all in Photoshop. Well, unless you want to create vector images, then you need Illustrator! The whole Adobe Creative Suite is great if you don't mind the price!

I have been working with PhotoShop for over 20 years, so the program easily just makes sense to me, however, if you are new to it I can see how the endless options can seem overwhelming. I would say that anyone looking to get into photography or graphic design should learn Photoshop. If you are just looking to create some small things here and there, maybe start with a more simplified program.

Adobe PhotoShop is the most well-known photo editor so most people know how to use it. It's great for people who live and breathe photos or need tools to create assets for digital applications. It's cross-platform so that it can run on pretty much any machine. It provides all the necessary tools to accomplish all editing tasks.

Adobe Photoshop is great when you need to do detailed image editing and basic design works. There is nothing that comes close when editing photos for online or print use, but it's not a tool to do layouts or vector designs. Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator are better tools for those jobs respectfully.

Adobe Photoshop is the best tool for anyone who needs to create and/or edit graphics and photos on a regular basis. There is other software out there that can accomplish similar tasks, but if you are a graphics person and want completely fluidity between programs and the industry standard in just about every creative facet, then Adobe's Photoshop is really the clear choice. [Adobe] Photoshop can accomplish the most simple task with ease, but also allows for extremely complex steps to be taken for endless creative possibilities. For someone who is just a small business owner trying to do things themselves, there are simpler graphics programs out there. Someone with less knowledge may be better suited with a program that guides them a little more through the process, as Photoshop's capabilities may overwhelm some users.

Perfect for any type of photo editing, working with JPG formats. It has an amazing function to automate and apply changes to many files at once. Adobe Photoshop is not suitable for vector files and it does require some time to learn and become a good user to be able to improvise and create unique designs.

For normal everyday photographs, there are quicker and easier products out there. For professionals and those who would like to spend more time editing and manipulating photos, Photoshop is a fantastic tool. Once you have used Photoshop for a while and become used to the awesomeness it is pretty easy to make quick adjustments to all your photos.

Adobe Photoshop is without a doubt the best and most sophisticated image editing software available on the market. There's no better, or faster, way to retouch professional photographs. Although I consider myself a basic user, I can quickly retouch things like lint on clothing or flyaway hairs and maintain the natural look of the photo. The main challenge for me in using the program, is the sheer complexity of it for other tasks.

Adobe Photoshop is great for businesses that are willing to make the investment. It should only be purchased if graphic design or photo editing is one of the main aspects of the company. The same thing applies to personal users looking to start freelancing or start a business. If your work requires a designing/editing software, then it's a must because Adobe apps are recognized by everyone and if your business doesn't use a professional software like Adobe PhotoShop, you might find it difficult to compete in the market, where people always look for the best.

But if your business just needs a photo editing software for minor work, consider an open-source software instead, because Adobe PhotoShop wouldn't be worth the investment.

I can't think of a scenario where Photoshop could not be used effectively in terms of graphic creation.

Adobe Photoshop suits the needs of pretty much any graphic designer or company who can afford to pay for it. It's not free software obviously, and for many budgets it is simply not feasible to grant all graphic designers a license. But for companies with the budget for Photoshop, they really can't go wrong with using it for all their modern graphic design needs.

If you need to digitally paint an image from scratch, or to build out SVG images for the web, then Photoshop is not for you, as there are other programs far better suited to those use cases. However, for digital photography editing, Adobe is second to none. The included Camera Raw plugin will pre-process RAW photos from any modern camera, and with save-able presets, it makes quickly setting a baseline edit for a particular shoot a breeze. The tools available within Photoshop are incredibly powerful and allow you to make any creative vision you have into reality. There are even beta features like AI upscaling that work extremely well.
