We use PhotoShop primarily for editing photos of equipment, people, and products for use in Social Media. I'm the sole user here (as we are a very small company). Occasionally we use it to create print media for events like tradeshows or other corporate networking venues.

Likelihood to Recommend

The addition of 3D functionality in the last decade, along with the ability to work alongside Adobe Dimension makes it possible to create realistic product mockups to be better able to see how they will look without going to the expense of producing them. This saves time and money, especially for smaller operations that can ill afford to waste capital on multiple prototype iterations.

PhotoShop still delivers after decades
