Pros / Cons
- Adobe Photoshop is a full featured photo editing package, it has a ton of capability and ability to create graphics and logos with ease.
- the massive adoption of a.i. tools, the automatic ingestion of your own images for training, the ongoing changes in their ToS to accomodate their a.i. building makes now everything shady and doubtful.

- I started calmly with the free version over 5 years ago, the free version is already excellent, after adding the daily download limitation about 2/3 years ago, I started using the paid version which is excellent.
- Sometimes it is not apparent what I need to do to execute a function and it take additional time to find out how the feature/function works.
