Adobe Photoshop Tips
Adobe Photoshop is a subscription-based, commercial raster graphics and photo editing software package.
Photoshop is a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. It is available for Windows and macOS (and iPhone), but not Linux.
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) has a subscription for the Adobe Creative Cloud, and it is installed on our Windows Design Workstations 2 and 3.
