Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop CC is used by our creative team (part of a larger in-house marketing team) in the creation of print and digital materials including flyers, brochures, email blasts, web design and images, and more, as well as for "cleaning up" employee head shots. We use Adobe Photoshop CC often in conjunction with stock photo services, as our corporate branding uses photos more so than vector images. It's a must, and probably the #1 most used application not just in our department but in the creative industry as a whole. You can't NOT use Adobe Photoshop CC.
  • Photo manipulation (cleanup, sizing, cropping, etc.) Most powerful program out there, and best supported and known.
  • Ability to open and save a great number of different kinds of files, including animated GIFs.
  • Ability to open Illustrator files and PDFs for rasterization--particularly handy when a logo in a PDF is needed, but we don't have the file. Seamless!
  • Hard to use, if you are trying to use absolutely ALL the features (nobody would need to do that, really). Most people regularly use only a relative handful of features. Bottom line, it will do what you want it to, but sometimes you have to dig into the menus and figure it out. Just a matter of learning the basics and adding new skills as you need them. Adobe Photoshop CC is a bottomless pit of functionality.
  • I don't like not being able to open more than one document from the intro screen. I'd like to be able to option-click on the thumbnails of more than one document and open them all at once. It really is a problem!
  • More keyboard commands would be great, such as for Crop.
  • As Adobe Photoshop CC is a MUST, any measurement of ROI related to its use is not done. It's as necessary as office supplies. It's a cost of doing business.
  • Without Adobe Photoshop CC, we would have to come up with other solutions that would not be as easy, as well-known, as supported at Adobe Photoshop CC. No point in even trying not to utilize it!
  • No negative impact by using it--other than maybe the ongoing cost of subscribing to Adobe CC. The old days of buying software are gone!
Never even considered another program. Adobe Photoshop CC is the bomb.
Adobe support is "just OK." It's easier to get answers from colleagues or online in forums, both Adobe and third-party forums. Answers are usually not that hard to find. As far as integration into the entire CC suite, the CC app allows direct access to support, making it easier to ask for help.

Yes

Would you buy Adobe PhotoShop again?

Well suited for creating images that are ultimately to be raster (photographic, with "grain") images, versus Adobe Illustrator CC, which is more suited to the creation of vector (resolution-independent) images. You need BOTH applications, really! Adobe Photoshop CC is well suited for creating very large images, such as for trade-show banners, without stalling or "skipping."
