The quintessential tool that keeps improving! 10 years and I still won't use another program for my work.... And Generative Fill is an amazing addition to this top-notch tool.

Having used Adobe Photoshop for several years now, it's become my go-to digital canvas for creating intricate and detailed illustrations. The depth and range of features it offers are unmatched, providing me with all the necessary tools to take my work to the next level. The brush engine in Photoshop is one of the most robust I've ever encountered. The ability to customize brushes down to the finest detail, or to import and create my own, gives me an incredible amount of creative flexibility. I can simulate a wide variety of traditional media effects, which is something that other digital design tools often fall short on. Layer management in Photoshop is also exceptional. With blending modes, layer styles, and adjustment layers, I have endless possibilities to manipulate and tweak my illustrations. It enables me to experiment without the fear of making irreversible changes. The integration with Adobe's Creative Cloud makes working across different Adobe applications a breeze. I can easily move my artwork from Photoshop to Illustrator or InDesign, which is a significant advantage when working on multidisciplinary projects. However, Photoshop does have a steep learning curve. Its vast array of features and tools can be overwhelming for beginners. But once you overcome the initial hurdle, the possibilities are endless. While Photoshop is not specifically a vector-based program, which may be a limitation for some illustrators, its strength lies in pixel-based, raster artwork. The texture and depth you can achieve with Photoshop are unrivaled. In conclusion, Adobe Photoshop is an exceptional tool for illustrators. Despite a steep learning curve, its breadth of features and customizable options make it a worthwhile investment. While it may not cater to every style of illustration, it shines when it comes to creating detailed, textured, and vibrant digital artwork. I wholeheartedly recommend Adobe Photoshop to any illustrator who values depth, detail, and extensive customization in their digital toolset. It's a staple in the industry for a reason, and I look forward to using it in my future projects.

Still the gold standard for photo-editing. Precise and gets the job done. A bit less user friendly UI than illustrator.

Their subscription plan is absolutely rip off. I hate all subscription plan models and for this very reason I hate Adobe and all their products. Photoshop has become absolutely slow on even the most powerful personal computers. Takes ages just to launch and if you edit any large image it runs out of memory. I had to finally dump Adobe and use other tools.

I use it since 2006. It's always been the best program. No other program had so many image processing capabilities. For processing, I read books by Dan Margulies, and then processing was very important. Today, of course, there are a lot of programs with ai, and the capabilities of cameras have grown a lot, but photoshop is forever in my heart and number 1 in my processing!
