Overall Satisfaction with Adobe PhotoShop
PhotoShop is my personal and company's photo editing tool for marketing, website, and social media images. And, you could also use it to make some fine art with a tablet. It's mainly used by the Design department, but we also have individual licenses. My personal use is to flair up, re-edit, and resize images delivered by customers. For some years now, it went waaaay down in price, you can also use it for a few months and turn it off if you are more project-based.
- It's been there for a long time, meaning BIG community, ALOT of guides.
- Works really well with other tools from Adobe.
- They made some big improvements to the software so it runs way faster.
- There is a big learning curve if you want specific things, but there are many tutorials. Be prepared to spend some time learning the tool.
- It can become a bit clunky when doing heavy animations, or big images with a lot of layers.
- Not for the "simple" pc users, you need a good pc to runs this tool at its peak.
- Seamless working with other Adobe tools, many departments can work together this way with ease. This saves us a lot of time.
- Setting up templates for specific customers, and with an easy overlay, we can edit images really fast.
- It's not only used for photo editing, we also do design, art, etc in this tool (Yes, Adobe has other tools for this but PhotoShop is powerful enough to do it all).
- The ease to work with multiple departments on one project.
- The flexibility you have to edit existing files with ease saves a lot of time. (Change main colors in 2 clicks, for example).
- The learning curve can be big. Be prepared to train the users or let them grow by working with it and request more difficult projects (with tutorials) to help them grow. This can be a flaw if you want things fast.
PS is a well-known tool for many years and I have been a user since before they used the CS part.
For the flexibility the tool has and all the functions, I never really "completely" switched to other tools, I use other tools for other things. There are ALOT of assets for photoshop on the internet free to paid like brushed, templates, etc. Next to loads of information, tutorials, guides you can find. For that, it's still my number one used tool, and I still keep finding interesting things I can do with it.
