Overall Satisfaction with Adobe PhotoShop

Some design projects are part of my job as a content specialist. Most of them fast paced needing visuals quick, for example a social media post, a quick flyer or an online brand page.

Pros

  • Giving options, there’s a lot you can do with PhotoShop
  • Having an extensive online resource if you need help finding certain features and how to use them.
  • Being an industry standard, meaning you can exchange information and files easily with different brands/companies.

Cons

  • Convoluted interface, it could be sorted a bit more
  • Very big work files, photoshop only works properly on a very strong laptop or PC
  • Takes up a lot of RAM
  • Sadly PhotoShop does crash my laptop from time to time
  • PhotoShop is very slow on my devices, slowing down the workflow and not being my preferred tools.
  • By slowing down the workflow and our company not being optimized for design PhotoShop is sadly not the right solution for us
It all depends on the device you’re working with, a standard work laptop won’t give you the power needed to run PhotoShop smoothly. But when working a more heavy PC PhotoShop is way more Usable. Also the interface, when you’re not familiar with it might be a confusing. Though it depends on what you need, if you need all that functionality, a very detailed interface might be a plus. For us it is not.
Sometimes PhotoShop just gives that extra edge when it comes to functionality when you have to edit a very detailed picture. PhotoShop has a lot more tools and is thus great for creating visuals that you can later use in print settings, for example; we want this tablecloth to be red and the mug to be shaped differently and green. PhotoShop would be the best program to use.

Yes

No

Would you buy Adobe PhotoShop again?

No

less suited for our workflow when visuals are quickly needed, and if you’re working with a laptop and not a pc. i’d prefer to work with something with an easier interface like Figma or Canva very suitable for detailed visuals when you’re working for an agency and have more time + electronic resources on hand. PhotoShop has more possibilities for picture editing than Canva & Figma
