In their own words
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop provides tools for creating, editing, and designing images and graphics. Its listed capabilities include batch editing, RAW photo support, layers, masking, AI retouching, and cloud sync. Users can combine, edit, and blend images and graphics; Firefly-powered Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Remove Tool are among its AI features. Harmonize matches lighting, shadows, colors, and other details when blending people or objects into backgrounds, and a Topaz Labs partner model is available for image upscaling. Photoshop runs on Android, iOS, macOS, the web, and Windows. The browser-based version is included in Photoshop plans, while standalone mobile apps for iPhone and Android are free, with premium features available by subscription. Photoshop can be purchased by itself or as part of a multi-app plan. The listed plans include cloud storage, app access, and generative credits in different combinations; prices are not provided. A 7-day trial is listed.
