Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Photoshop

We use Adobe Photoshop to design compete website pages on 2000 x 2000 pixel templates. We also design interfaces for web applications and mobile apps. Photoshop is a great tool to create very impactful marketing and advertising visuals. Photo-editing and raster image editing is the bread and butter for Photoshop. We use it for every, single project.
  • The most obvious is photo-editing. Very powerful in this realm.
  • Website and mobile application design, as my organization often does.
  • Designing marketing & advertising visuals
  • The user flow could be more inline with other Adobe softwares, such as Illustrator.
  • It would be great if the pen tool worked similar to the pen tool in Illustrator
  • Editing Smart Objects directly in Photoshop would be fantastic
  • We are able to create mockups of website designs before starting development so we do not waste time developing a product our customer will not like.
  • We are able to add value to our marketing efforts through very high-quality images and visuals.
  • At $50 per month for Adobe Creative Cloud, it is a minuscule cost for the mileage we get out of it. We use it for every project.
Photoshop is the only professional, pixel-dependent photo-editing and design software that I have ever used. I highly doubt I will pursue changing to something else in the future given how familiar I am with the interface and how powerful the core functions are. I selected this project because it was a standard to use for a company that I did freelance work for in the past.
Adobe Photoshop is very well-suited for designing websites and mobile application interfaces, editing photography, and performing any design changes to raster (pixel-dependent) images. It is not appropriate for creating vector graphics that are intended to be scaled freely or blown up to large sizes. Luckily, it works very well with Adobe Illustrator for anything vector-based.
