Photo editing suite to enhance your photos and designs with Photoshop with a complete set of tools including RAW processing and photo manipulation.
The definitive photo editing application in the world, Adobe Photoshop CC is a continuation of the previous editions of Adobe's product, namely CS6, CS5, CS4 and so on.
Photoshop CC has some excellent new features, building upon the decades of development the program has seen. From content-aware healing fills, smart selection tools and a number of tools for professional photographers, this version of Adobe Photoshop is probably the best yet.
Like with other versions of Adobe Photoshop, CC has a very streamlined and minimalist approach to a graphical user layout. That isn't to say that it doesn't have a ton of features.
If you want to run Photoshop CC, you should expect to have a pretty modern PC running a good amount of RAM with a capable CPU and GPU. You might expect older PCs to get bogged down when opening larger images or doing extensive image manipulation.
With the menus have been changed slightly with CC, it didn't take very long for us to get used to the new arrangements (which were actually minimal). Thankfully, keyboard shortcuts remain traditional to older versions. If you haven't used Photoshop before or you are not a seasoned user, we highly recommend getting used to some of the keyboard shortcuts as this can shave a load of time off of whatever task you're working on.
Adobe also provides support for RAW image formats which makes it fully capable of working with images from digital cameras such as Canon, Sony, Nikon or others, including phones. This is by using Adobe Camera Raw.
As this software is rather expensive, Adobe offers a free trial download which is available as a link on this web page. Adobe Photoshop CC is offered as a downloader directly from Adobe.
