The best professional photo editing software has switched to a subscription-based format

Download for Windows
Photography apps come and go, but there seems to be a constant, an app that has been on top of the market when it comes to photo editing. Of course, we are talking about Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop was available for purchase for a long time, but today it relies on a subscription-based model provided by Adobe. Let's check it out!

The Creative Cloud ecosystem

Adobe Creative Cloud presents a set of apps and services made by Adobe. It's subscription-based, and you can choose to subscribe to various apps and packages related to graphic design, video editing, and photography. This is combined with useful cloud services to make sharing your work among different apps and other collaborators much easier.

Adobe Photoshop is one of the apps you can subscribe to. Photoshop alone is available on a standalone plan, but it's often better to get the Photography package that includes Photoshop, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and a base amount of cloud storage. If you want more space, higher storage tiers are available.

Layer-based editing

When it comes to the app itself, it's hard to convey all the features of Photoshop in any text. It's primarily based on layers. A photo is created by stacking layers on top of each other. Each layer can later be hidden or deleted, enabling you to revert your changes quickly.

Smart selections and continuous updates

Another feature where Photoshop is unmatched is selection. It can automatically select important aspects of your image and even remove them without ruining the rest of the image. Despite the app being out there for over 30 years, this version of Photoshop is being updated several times a year. Despite the sheer number of features it offers, its interface is still clean and tidy.
