What is Adobe Photoshop?

Photoshop fits projects where an image needs more than a preset: combining several photographs, isolating a complex subject, refining color or preparing a finished composition. Layers and masks keep individual edits manageable, while selection and removal tools help target specific areas. Generative features extend the toolkit for adding or replacing content.

The full desktop workflow comes with a paid plan. Free mobile access is a separate starting point, and browser or mobile features do not imply complete desktop parity. Compare the Photoshop plan with the Photography bundle if Lightroom matters to your work, and pay attention to the annual commitment behind advertised monthly prices.
