What users complain about in Adobe Photoshop: Photo Editor

Completely unusable

Very limited amount of unhelpful options. Worst editing app imaginable. Spent multiple hours multiple different days and there’s no precision, zero usefulness. Sloppy all around. Everything’s behind a paywall, which I funny enough paid for, but there’s another paywall for the most basic features. AI can’t even help you do what you can do in 3 seconds on FaceTune. Waste of so much time and energy. 0 stars

It’s ok I guess

It’s ok for some stuff but it’s very limited. I wish it had all the features that the desktop version has.

Money-driven splash screens pretend to be apps

I have been using Photoshop for 26 years, since 1994, and I have been paying for Adobe CSS every month for 10 years. yet I still have to sign in and input my password and wait for the 6-digit security code and input the code from my phone and then, apparently re-download the app only to see that I need to buy ANOTHER APP- Fresco or Adobe Photoshop Fix or Photoshop Mix or whatever among the 40 plus apps that Adobe pushes without ever allowing me to USE these apps on my desktop or my iPad or my iPhone. I still am shut-out from these apps by purchase screens in spite of the AUTOMATIC- CREDIT CARD DEDUCTIONS THAT HAPPEN EVERY MONTH! It used to be easy to launch Photoshop and use it. Period. Buy an updated version every two years. NOT NOW. I can never use Photoshop in spite of paying for CSS every month. I am always buffetted with screens that wait for another subscription on top of the CSS subscription that I already pay for every month. Evil shameful Adobe execs that must have their own islands funded on the backs of aspiring artists and retired Photoshop teachers like me who can scarcely afford to continue subscribing to an endless avalanche of new apps that supersede the ones I am already paying for. Here I am writing this instead of actually making art — typical of what we have learned to accept from these piggy companies. Maybe you work in an office where someone else takes care of the subscriptions and all you need to do is log on and go. Sweet. So happy for you. For the rest of us, these apps are next to useless. I need to resurrect Photoshop 5.5 and turn off my WiFi now to actually get some work done.

Unintuitive

I don’t dispute that you can do great work with this app, but it is unintuitive and clunky for the simplest tasks, partly because of its confusing interface. I miss just being able to “photoshop” stuff for fun.

Comparing apps

To say PS is slow just doesn’t cover it. It takes several minutes to make one change.

Not Photoshop

This should be called something else because it is not Photoshop. If you know and use Photoshop you will be disappointed with this mess. Nothing really works the same, you are on a brand new learning curve. Oh, and you can’t even draw a line or resize an image. You should fire your developers, throw this project in the trash can, and ask Codex to build you an iPad app that matches the Desktop app. At least in basic features. I hate “Photoshop” for the iPad.

Greedy Аrse company

It’s decent on mobile, but adobe is too expensive so I wouldn’t get it given than photopea is free.

Can’t edit anything only AI options now

Nice to see a feature I used to have I don’t have anymore. App is useless without TWO subscriptions

It broke

It broke and nothing can fix it now

Disappointed

Downloaded to alter some photos for my business. The app would not work properly so I opted for a paid subscription to access more features. On top of jamming, the app could not correctly alter a single photo. I canceled the subscription out of frustration. Do not waste your money.

It’s good but needs to be fixed

I guess it’s kind of good but like when you’re trying to remove an image it either takes 30 min or doesn’t ever work also it’s super slow and I don’t even know what the AI is for because it doesn’t do anything and please fix this it’s annoying I also think you should be able to blend images together but you can’t

Lacks

Not user friendly

Not Worth the Subscription

I’ve used Photoshop professionally since version 1 back in the day. It’s been on my Macs for decades. It really went downhill when they started making it a subscription instead of a one-time fee. They essentially held creators’ files hostage for their monthly extortion fee. But now, their software is bloated with features no one asked for, and the AI aspect is rubbish. I’ve moved on to Affinity Photo and Pixelmator Pro, both of which are a one-time fee. They do what Photoshop does but better, faster, and with a better interface. Bye, Adobe. You’re no longer the leader.

They removed the Eraser

Theres no manual eraser its all AI and AI keeps missing what I want to erase

Known Bug stops iPhone users from editing

The app doesn’t work with iPhone format files. They claim there is a known bug but it’s been happening for days now and support has not provided a way to fix it. The work around I have found on my own without support help is to save iPhone photos as a JPEG or PNG outside of the adobe app.

Better Programs

I really hate this. It’s harder to use than other less expensive editing programs/apps that do a much better job.

Should have same features as desktop

This is pretty useless as an app. You can use Affinity photo and it’s really cheap with a one time purchase fee.

Missing basic functionality????

been using photoshop for almost 20 years. got an ipad so that i could digital paint on the go only to find out some very basic features in desktop PS that are also standard in any other paint app, are completely missing. You can import .psd files from the computer and they will have fill layers, effect layers, etc in this iPad version but you can’t change any of their settings and you can’t make the effects in the app. Like the functionality is there but they deliberately handicapped this version of photoshop. PS brush settings are already pretty limited compared to most other paint apps, but in this version THERE ARE NO BRUSH SETTINGS! your only option is to import brushes, but if you want to modify anything other than the size of the brush, you need to make those changed on a computer and manually export them back over to the ipad. pretty ridiculous feature to be missing from the most expensive “industry standard” photo and digital paint software… I see why procreate is taking over.

When I was a kid, we had Tinker Toys

When I was a kid, we had Tinkertoys. Today, my kids have Photoshop. It’s so reassuring knowing they can spend hours making Minecraft photo edits without any supervision from me whatsoever. I was actually going to hire a babysitter while I went downtown to sell d$@g$, but thankfully that expense is no longer necessary. I have Photoshop! I do feel a little bad for any professional trying to use it for legitimate work, but honestly, who cares? This review is about me and my beautiful new childcare solution. Thanks, Adobe! Five stars for keeping the kids occupied while apparently making professional workflows somebody else’s problem. Came back to double down on everything I said! Also, the removal tool comes up operation failed for all pictures, SFW. Then it tells me cloud storage is full but doesn’t allow me to delete anything. For this price and the fact that I was charged for two years for something I never ordered, plus the pain that the removal tool is, I can’t recommend the product.
