Description of Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a professional image-editing and design application sold by Adobe. It runs on desktop, in the browser and on mobile, and the vendor says the mobile app is free. Its AI features include Generative Fill and Generative Expand, which are built on Adobe's Firefly models, a Remove tool for taking people and objects out of a scene, Harmonize for matching lighting when blending elements, and upscaling that uses partner models from Topaz Labs.

For old photographs, Adobe's restoration guide describes a Photo Restoration neural filter, found under Filter, Neural Filters, with sliders for overall enhancement, face enhancement and scratch reduction. Leftover damage is handled with the Spot Healing Brush and Clone Stamp, and a separate Colorize neural filter adds colour to black-and-white images. The guide recommends working on separate layers so the original stays untouched. This is a hands-on editor, so results depend on how much manual work you do.

The single-app Photoshop plan is US$22.99 a month on an annual plan billed monthly, or US$263.88 a year prepaid, and includes 25 generative credits a month and 100 GB of cloud storage. A 7-day free trial is offered on individual plans and 14 days on team plans. Creative Cloud Pro costs more, with a promotional first-three-months price for new subscribers. Photoshop for teams is US$37.99 per license.

No month-to-month price without an annual commitment was shown on the pages read. The pages list no security certifications, so enterprise buyers should consult Adobe's trust documentation.
