Pros/Cons
Pros
- Most of the apps I've used have helpful tutorials and their help functions are user friendly. The cloud libraries are very useful and seamless.
- I love the most that it automatically keeps all the apps updated without my involvement. Additionally, what I love most is their customer service department.
- The overall experience with the Creative Cloud works for the changing landscape of User Experience and I am impressed to have solutions like this at my disposal.
Cons
- As annoying as the subscription can be, it makes sense considering the amount of fraudulent users there used to be.
- It is really the only option for my business and is a necessary evil. I HATE the cloud aspect and is simply a way for companies to prolong corporate greed.
- Everyday i have lost my data due to this worst software,because they havent given stop update button.
Pros
- Helps me to edit all my photos also a good option for the bloggers, Very useful. If it's possible to mark 10 stars, certainly I will.
- Whether you're looking to make basic adjustments or explore advanced editing techniques, Photoshop Elements is a reliable and accessible tool that delivers impressive results.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements is like a lite version of standard Photoshop, it's more compact and beginner friendly. It's also affordable and dosen't require a subscription.
Cons
- I lost some features that were available in Adobe Photoshop CS. For instance, I was able to create animated gifs.
- Some people may find the animations and transitions overwhelming or confusing.
- I don't like the subscription model because I will have to pay more than with the standalone license.
