The engine room for high end compositing, asset texturing, and layout preparation. Photoshop is where raw visual assets are elevated into premium, cinematic brand experiences. They are known for Industry standard design tool. > > **Cons**: Requires top tier, expensive machines to avoid slow downs on large files. Infinite recurring costs with no option to buy outright. > > It is simultaneously the most indispensable tool in a graphic design industry and a piece of software that will confidently make an expensive computer fan sound like a jet engine taking off. Best in flyer design, social media banners etc. ----- ### "Managing all your photos with ease." — 5.0/5 > **Caleb** | *12 August 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There's a reason why Adobe Photoshop is still the industry standard. I liked the cutting-edge layer editing, selection precision, and robust masking features, it provides a level of control in image manipulation that is unparalleled. AI-enabled capabilities, such as Generative Fill, are a huge time-saver when dealing with complex edits. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, making it crucial for professional design processes. > > **Cons**: The main challenge i have disklied is that it operates on a subscription plan, which might be costly for occasional users or hobbyists. The software is very rich; thus, it has a very steep learning curve for those who are new to it. In addition, Photoshop can be very demanding and requires a good computer to function properly with large, high resolution files. > > I have been very satisfied with the overall experience. Photoshop is a very flexible powerhouse tool, capable of everything from simple photo editing to creating digital art and graphics. It takes a lot of time to learn all its features, but when you have to produce something of high quality and a professional look, you will find it worth your time. It's essential for anyone who would like to get into image editing or design. ----- ### "The sad state of Adobe Photoshop" — 2.0/5 > **Sven** | *4 February 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to perform extensive digital editing and surgery with options to organise layers in groups and apply individual effects. > > **Cons**: Weak performance even on high end machines Lack of overall stability and plethora of bugs, overall quality Absence of innovative tools and processes General lack of progress in application development compared to CS6 Lack of integration with Camera Raw, Bridge and other tools Abysmal performance and quality of the bride application > > Adobe is wants us to believe that their products are gold standard in image processing and spearheading the "AI Revolution" The truth about the technical state of Photoshop and their so called AI is ... Not only the AI revolution is not happening. In fact Adobe is offering a technically outdated and partly dysfunctional product as state of the art and at the same time putting their customers at a disadvantage wherever they can. Users who hope for a plethora of new productivity tools and features, stellar performance gains with incredibly more powerful hardware will be thoroughly disappointed as compared to even CS6. The product is basically still on the technical level of 2012, bugged, extremely slow, inaccurate and cumbersome. Changes applied in the past to introduce "modern" features made it worse. People who apparently never worked on a professional workflow designed tool and interface behavior that disrupt your learned workflows and is in part strongly counterproductive. Some highlights: Even basics do not work properly. Custom key or workspace configurations break and get reset frequently to the defaults. Adobe is pestering users with new tools and features which mostly are just useless, annoying and hindering your workflows instead of offering progress. Memory management is basically absent leading to constant out of memory errors even on 64 GIG machines while processing rather small files. Multi-Tasking at least across Bridge and PS ? Too much for Adobe in 2025 to master such alien technology Problems with GPU integration are everywhere rendering GPU support basically useless. The clues less support staff tells you not to use GPU Acceleration features if you run into problems ... Its like as if Porsche would tell you not to drive your car if you experienced issues ... Processing speed is abhorrently slow even on high performance machines. There is not really a performance gain at all compared to the 2012 version. Due to the overhead of useless new features its rather slower. Working with the same files from 2012 does not show improvement. On a machine which is insanely more powerful. Text management is still on the level of PS 3. Barely usable. If you are offline text can no longer be changed. Rendering of PDF Text is like a lucky draw ... Often the text does not render properly breaking your design. Only rasterizing solves such issues ... Insane ... Their tools can still not create good object maskings ... now AI would certainly be helpful here. Alas its nowhere to be found. Instead we are dealing with the same outdated tools from a decade ago. The PDF engine can still not auto process PSB files properly. Color statistics synchronisation across image series is still missing from the toolbox. The color Matching is an inferior and laughable attempt to address this. Patching is still not able to realistically remove blemishes on sightly larger areas without blotching everything. The Bridge application could be the perfect complement as a file manager but it is so bugged that it is just a nuisance. The performance is ridiculously bad even with ultra fast NAND SSD. Creating thumbnails takes minutes and need to be recreated almost each time you review a certain folder irrelevant of what you define in the settings. Opening an already fully indexed folder sometimes takes 10 seconds until you can start scrolling ... if you click too quickly the app freezes. Modern UI feelings ... Settings break all the time ánd need to be reapplied. Finally, the highly praised AI is either hilariously absent from the program or generates laughably bad results. Nude photography is excluded even from the "AI" functionality. Fact is ... companies like Adobe or Phase One do simply have no idea on how to leverage AI and improving a product. They are big mouthed about those thing while they do not even have age old standards like image file management mastered. ----- ### "A Powerful Editing Tool with Professional Results" — 5.0/5 > **Brooks** | *11 June 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Adobe Photoshop is how powerful and precise it is once you get used to it. It gives you total control over editing—whether you’re retouching photos, removing backgrounds, or creating digital art from scratch. SECURITY is strong with regular updates and cloud protection through Adobe. VALUE FOR MONEY is fair if you use it often because of its advanced features. CUSTOMER SUPPORT is helpful with guides, tutorials, and community help when needed. FONTS are a big plus because Photoshop offers tons of font options and also lets you install and customize fonts easily for creative designs. > > **Cons**: I don’t dislike anything about Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop stands out because it’s reliable, feature-rich, and trusted by professionals worldwide. > > Overall, my experience with Adobe Photoshop is very positive. It’s a powerful and professional tool that makes photo editing and design easy once you learn it. The tools are advanced, the font options are flexible, and the results always look high quality. It can take time to learn, but it’s worth it for the level of control and creativity it gives. ----- ### "An extraordinary software for professionals in the Marketing and Advertising Industry" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *14 July 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Adobe Photoshop for a long time because I work in the marketing and advertising industry. I like many aspects of this application. First, I appreciate its photo editing features, such as removing unwanted objects and adjusting exposure, colour, and contrast. I also enjoy other features that let you combine multiple images into a single composition and edit individual elements without affecting the rest of the image. Other benefits include its professional selection tools, its strong AI features, and its extensive graphic design capabilities. > > **Cons**: I am also aware that Adobe Photoshop can have some weaknesses and disadvantages. Firstly, its subscription costs are high. Secondly, it has a Steep learning curve, given that it is a professional tool for advanced users. In fact, it includes hundreds of tools, panels, and settings. Another disadvantage is that it has high system requirements and may be slow on old computers. In certain cases, it can also be Resource-intensive, especially when you edit high-resolution images or work on many layers. Thereafter, it has too many features, which may be complex and confusing. > > If we consider many factors, I can say that my experience with Adobe Photoshop was quite positive. Through this software, I was able to create many pictures and wallpapers for our promotional campaigns. I think that it is the ideal choice if you are an advanced professional who has a strong background in Graphic Design. On the other side, it can be very complex if you are at the beginning of your career and you don't have a lot of experience. ----- Page: 1 / 100\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012156/adobe-photoshop?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012156/adobe-photoshop) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
