What you can do with it

Photoshop gives you pixel-level control over images. You heal, clone and remove distractions, grade color and tone with non-destructive adjustment layers and Camera Raw, and merge elements that match lighting and perspective. Brushes, patterns and gradients support illustration and lettering, and Smart Objects and libraries help with design work. Standard AI features like Generative Fill use generative credits on most plans.
