Adobe Photoshop Reviews

Reviewers largely see Photoshop as the standard for serious image editing and illustration: powerful, precise, and flexible enough for retouching, compositing, brush-heavy artwork, and complex layered workflows. Several users especially praise its brush engine, layer tools, and newer AI features for saving time on masking, retouching, and image generation. Makers of Kickfolder also mention using it to refine an app icon and promo screenshots. The main complaints are practical, not creative: a steep learning curve, a less friendly UI for some, sluggish performance, scratch-disk and memory issues, and strong dislike of the subscription model.
