Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop is the reference raster image editor: layers, masks, adjustment layers, blend modes, non-destructive Smart Objects, and a retouching toolset (clone, heal, content-aware fill, frequency separation workflows) that most other applications are measured against. It handles 8/16/32-bit images, CMYK and Lab colour, and colour-managed output for print.

Recent releases lean heavily on generative tooling — Generative Fill and Expand extend or replace regions from a text prompt — alongside the long-standing selection improvements like Select Subject and Object Selection.

Licence status: Photoshop is commercial software sold by subscription. It is not free. Adobe provides a time-limited free trial, and both the trial and the paid plans are obtained from Adobe directly — this catalog links you there and does not host or modify any Adobe software.
