World’s most capable image editing software

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: The applications and tools are great and have been a part of my design and creative process since the start.

Pros:

Adobe Creative Suite offers a comprehensive collection of professional tools for various creative needs, enabling me as a designer to seamlessly transition between different mediums and effectively bring my visions to life.

Cons:

While I don't have preferences or dislikes, some users might find Adobe Creative Suite to be complex and challenging to master due to its extensive features and occasionally, they might find its subscription pricing model to be burdensome for long-term use.

The standard, but the gap is closing.

4.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

Having used Adobe CC ever since its inception, it's still the standard across the board. It runs well on MacOS, is mostly reliable and each app inside it plays well with others.

Cons:

Pricey subscription model, average customer service and Adobe are prone to taking away important features at will, or changing all the shortcuts you ever knew and messing them up in the next release. Its hard to suggest that Adobe are customer-focussed.

Can't Cancel

1.0 3 weeks ago New

Pros:

Never used asked to cancel my account and was signed up for 3 free months.

Cons:

When someone calls to cancel they think that means you want free services so they can charge you when you don't cancel.

Adobe Creative Cloud I the only way

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I use this every day... all day. I do not see myself without it. I used to have 3 or 4 graphic element subscriptions but have since dropped them all after using the Creative Cloud. Every aspect of my business has benefitted from the Creative Cloud and it seems to get better every single day. We take time, as a team, to use their tutorials and continue to learn every single day.

Pros:

I like how they have everything bundled in an easy to use, and the fluidity between users and teams. It helps us stay organized and allows us to work together seemlessly.

Cons:

Some apps do have a steep learning curve and can look scary at first. To battle this, they have tons of video tutorials to use and learn along and from.
