We use Adobe Photoshop to produce digital content like flyer, social media posts, advertisements, and important information for our students. Through this platform, we are able to customize different products, edit photos and create unique and interesting content for our users to consume.

Pros and Cons

Allow for creative flexibility.
Easy to create and expand new "layers" on the product.
Lots of fonts.

Has a decent learning curve, but YouTube has a lot of tutorials.
Takes up a lot of processing power on your computer.
Tools could be labeled better.

Return on Investment

Customizing content for our website, social media, etc.
Allowed for growth in the group for creativity.
Helped for learning different Adobe products.

Alternatives Considered

We have access to the full Adobe Suite, so this makes it very convenient to use. The general interface is similar through many of the Adobe programs, so using Photoshop has allowed us to have an easy of use on other Adobe Cloud Products.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall, I think Photoshop provides the user with a lot of flexibility. The biggest thing is that the more you use it and learn it, the more you will be able to get out of it. If you are looking to create graphics that are unique, this is a great tool. People who are less experienced should learn this, but also be careful as it is a steep learning curve when you start.
