The Benefits... And Costs of Photoshop

Transcript: Photoshop is one of the most useful tools in the Adobe Creative Suite package. For the digital editor, you can alter images, add text, and even delete parts of a picture. People use Photoshop in almost every profession/company for social media purposes and graphic or logo creation. Since Photoshop is so difficult for the user to master, having proficient Photoshop skills is a game changer in the professional world. With tools like the magic wand, lasso, and clone stamp, rarely can someone just sit down and be proficient with Photoshop. It takes time to master, so the only way to improve is practice, practice, practice. Unfortunately, Adobe Creative Suite is expensive, costing the regular user $50 a month to purchase. As a student, you can get Adobe Photography which includes Photoshop and Lightroom it will only cost you about $10 a month. Or you can purchase the entire Creative suite for $20 a month. So, when these companies and organizations want you to have some Photoshop knowledge, it might cost you a pretty penny to practice. But if you’re a student, find out if your school has a computer lab that already has Photoshop on it so you can practice.
