Overall Satisfaction with Adobe PhotoShop

I've been using PhotoShop for quite some time now but I love the new update - generative AI makes my work a lot more easier and it allows me to do better work as well. Generative fill helps my creativity, all this while I visualise things in my head and then decide if there's something worth to put into execution. Now? I can easily translate all my concepts to tangible rough mocks in a matter of seconds. Yes, it may not be as easy to use as compared to Canva but there is a reason why PhotoShop has been at the helm of design for decades now. UI is intimidating at first, definitely not the most intuitive tool but as you use the software more, things get a lot more easier.
  • Generative fill
  • Image editing
  • Basic marketing collateral design
  • UI - I do think that something could be simplified
  • Cost - while creative cloud is priced economically, for people who just want one software - I think it could be priced better.
  • Features for image editing (selective colour, curves, levels, etc)
  • Generative fill
  • GIF editing
  • Huge positive impact - A lot of my work happens on PhotoShop and Illustrator
I'd say there are different use cases for each tool. PhotoShop is a beast at image editing, I haven't used anything else for this purpose. But with the other tools, they serve different purpose - Canva is good for templated stuff, illustrator is good for anything vector/printable, Figma is great for digital design

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe PhotoShop go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe PhotoShop again?

Yes

PhotoShop is best suited for photo editing, generative AI image creation and I guess it would be less appropriate for things like vector graphics creation, presentations, logo design, video editing, vector animation (like after effects)
