There are a variety of good options available, and the menus are laid out nicely and make complete sense. > > **Cons**: Some filters, effects, and actions are a little bit too complicated and involved for my liking. There are some actions I think should be able to be done in 1-2 clicks as opposed to the 4-5 I have to go through. > > I have the stand alone version (not the subscription one) and it works great. I've always had an interest in graphical design and Photoshop makes it easy. There are a lot of great tutorials out there as well to learn and utilize so you can take full advantage of everything the software package has to offer. ----- ### "Photoshop: Brilliant Software, Disappointing Business Model" — 4.0/5 > **Darren** | *22 August 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Photoshop has been the industry standard for a reason. Its power and precision in photo editing, image manipulation, and digital artwork are unmatched. Over the decades, I’ve used it for everything from photo retouching to complex composites, and it consistently delivers professional results. The breadth of tools, filters, and adjustments makes it incredibly versatile. > > **Cons**: Adobe’s shift to a subscription-only model was the biggest drawback. I purchased Photoshop outright decades ago and for years and kept up with upgrades, but now that investment is meaningless. Being forced into ongoing payments, regardless of how often I use the software, feels unfair to long-term loyal users. It turned a great tool into one I no longer wish to support financially. > > Overall, Photoshop has been an extraordinary tool in my career, offering unrivalled editing capabilities and creative flexibility. It set the benchmark for professional image editing, and I relied on it heavily for decades. However, my relationship with the software changed the moment Adobe moved to the subscription-only model. Despite its brilliance, I stopped upgrading once ownership was taken away from users. I still admire what it can do, but I no longer feel the same sense of value or fairness in using it. ----- ### "Aobe Photoshop is a great tool but at a cost" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 December 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Photoshop comes equipped with a lot of tools to create anything you want or make edits to an existing photo or item. > > **Cons**: Adobe Photoshop, like most Adobe programs, can be quite expensive, especially for beginners or students. It can also be quite confusing if you don't know what you're looking for, so it's not as intuitive for beginners. I also found that the resources on the Aobe page are not as helpful. I was left confused and had to look for YouTube videos to find the answer. > > Adobe Photoshop is a lot of fun to experiment with, with tools to explore and play around with. However, the price point is expensive, and I found the resources to be limited ----- ### "The best editing suite in the business" — 5.0/5 > **Andonis** | *27 May 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: New generative AI content fill is a game changer\! I have been using photoshop for over 20 years and tasks that would take hours can now be done in minutes\! > > **Cons**: Although most people see it as a positive (and most of the time myself included) the generative AI content is a double edge sword as it can make the barrier of entry easier but opens up to exploitative users. > > Amazingly powerful editing suite and I have only barely scratched the surface on it's capabilities. I am constantly learning new things and I am able to produce amazing results\! ----- ### "Can Manipulate Images and Such to Suite Any Purpose" — 5.0/5 > **Patrice** | *2 November 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It really allows the user to unleash their own creative genius. Photoshop is a brilliant tool for being able to express a message via images. > > **Cons**: I'm just a novice 'shopper. It takes quite a learning curve to develop the chops to do supra professional work. And like other Adobe products, premium versions come at an overly premium price. ----- Page: 1 / 99\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1012156/adobe-photoshop?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
