Adobe Photoshop is the most advanced image editor there is, capable of everything from simple retouching, to complex 3D designs and illustrations. The possibilities are endless as it has many features and tools, and fortunately, there are alsomany tutorials if you want to learn how to use it.

Tthe undisputed leader for its power and versatility

The number of tools in Adobe Photoshop are overwhelming, but with some practice, the results are amazing. Adjusting color levels, alpha channels and masks, artistic filters, textures– the possibilities are only limited by your creativity.

What's more, Adobe Photoshop includes a basic video editor that’s integrated with all the traditional tools. Activate the timeline, drag the clips, and start assembling your masterpiece.

Panels and layers: synonyms of Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is divided in two spaces: the workspace and thepanels, where you can choose tools and modify them to your use. With the panels, you can also manage the layers, which are the overlapping levels that make up a photograph and its effects.

The first thing that catches your attention as soon as you open the interface is that it’s now dark gray, which has changed for the first time ever. This is the same color you have in Photoshop Elements,Premiere Pro and After Effects.

The new color and the way the panels are organized help you focus on the image. If it's not your style, go to Preferences and change the color back to the original, or to either of the new two shades.

The best in its category

Adobe Photoshop is not a program for everyone, both for its price and for its steep learning curve. It is, however, an indisputably powerful tool, and photo editors wouldn’t be what they are today without the advances that this program introduces version after version.

If you want the best image editor, no matter the price or how difficult it is to use, Adobe Photoshop is with a doubt the best option.

What's new in the latest version

Smart Objects are more powerful, layers have enhanced features, motion effects with blur, focus mask, and improved Content-awaretechnology.
