Adobe Photoshop overview

You can download Adobe Photoshop as a part of Creative Cloud for only $54.99/month

Adobe Photoshop is a recognized classic of photo-enhancing software. It offers a broad spectrum of tools that can turn your inspiration into incredible images, photos, composites, 3D artwork, paintings, and graphics on any device.

Photoshop has become the choice of thousands of creative professionals around the world. First introduced in 1988, it still is the world's leading image-editing software.

Intuitive and clean user interface

Although Photoshop for Mac is the most comprehensive graphics and image-editing software available in the market today, it has a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.

With recently improved usability, this photo-editor has become even more enjoyable to use. The interface loads as soon as you decide to use Photoshop.

A user-friendly interface updates you about new features, suggests learning content, and allows you to quickly access recent files. You can easily pick up where you left or create a new project, access cloud and desktop pictures, and open an existing document.

Convenient content-aware fill workspace

Adobe has recently announced the launch of its new Content-Aware Fill workspace. It allows you to remove objects or distracting elements from your images easier than ever before.

This new option offers an interactive editing experience. Now, you can take full Control over which "good" parts of the picture to use to replace the undesired areas. It allows resizing the initial selection, rotating, scaling, and mirroring content.

Enjoy a range of new tools

The latest version of the software provides a new Frame Tool that allows you to enjoy much simpler masking. Now, you can place shapes and text into placeholder frames and fill them with pictures. To create elliptical or rectangular forms, you only need to select the Frame Tool and press "K."

There is also a new default feature of multiple undo. If you want to view an object before changes are applied, just click Control + Z (for Windows OS) and Command + Z (for macOS). Don't worry about losing any project changes in Adobe Photoshop on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. With a new auto-commit feature, they are saved automatically.

What's new in Photoshop

Version 21.2:
  • In the latest version, you can make accurate selections of people with one click.
  • Now, Adobe Photoshop can find and add all available fonts to your libraries automatically when you open a project.

The value of what this software can do stays the same, while the price keeps going up. Adobe just did a price increase again just this week. I'm assuming because more and more people are canceling their subscriptions and switching to something like Affinity Photo or Pixelmator Pro or other software. I have to use PS at work, but then I don't pay for it there, the company does. Meanwhile, it feels like I am beta testing Adobe's buggy software for them. InDesign crashes on me at least once every 2 days. Still waiting for PS to allow animated GIFs on artboards.

Adobe needs to do a total overhaul of Photoshop. To drop the subscription model, and make the price to reflect the REALITY. $400 or so price was the reason that the market oversaturated with "illegal" copies. But if the price would have been an affordable real life price, something like $100 or $150, then it would be a game changer. 90% of all those who need it or would like to have it, will easily spend this amount. Everybody win.

This listing is wrong. Photoshop 2022 is version 23. Therefore the 24.3 update is for Photoshop 2023. It was also released 11 days ago yet for some reason is just listed today.

If you've owned ANY previous version of Photoshop, your monthly subscription for PS will be $9.99 not $20. You are also given access to any and all updates for the software and your monthly subscription is still $9.99. They decided to go with a subscription model a few years ago because they were losing millions of dollars annually as a result of buyers of PS (back then you could purchase the Photoshop CD outright) sharing their passwords with friends, family, co-workers and anyone else who felt the urge to ask. I was angry at the change as well. But paying less than the price of a bag of groceries per month is well worth the ability to use a fully-fuctional, up-to-date version of the industry standard image editor.

If you work for a company that needs a tax write off, this may be the perfect app for you. It should say at the top "Warning! Subscription Model!" This is NOT $20.99, it's $20.99 PER MONTH! For the same functionality, Affinity Photo and Pixelmator Pro are MUCH better value for money.
