Photoshop is still the best in its class
Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Photoshop
We use Photoshop everyday to design graphics, adjust photography, produce mockups, and support various business activities. Though not everyone in our office is a power user, everyone is comfortable opening a file and making adjustments to it on a regular basis. Photoshop is one of the core apps our business uses to provide services to our clients and it would be difficult to do business without it.
Pros
- Edit photography.
- Design mockups for the web.
- Create social media graphics.
Cons
- It's a weighty app.
- Can be overkill for small projects.
- Steep initial learning curve.
- Allows us to quickly turn around graphic projects.
- Subscription model means we don't ever have to worry about running out of date software.
- I'm not sure there is one single app more integral to running our business.
I've tried many Photoshop alternatives over the years and generally, nothing stacks up. I sometimes use Canva when I need something created and don't have access to Photoshop. It doesn't do the same kind of heavy lifting, but it works in a pinch. I think that's the real scenario where I would use an alternative, when Photoshop is simply unavailable and I need to make do with something else.
