Adobe's raster image editor for photo retouching, compositing and generative fills, on desktop, web and mobile.
Photoshop is the reference raster editor: layers, masks and non-destructive adjustments cover almost any retouching or compositing job, and the generative tools (Generative Fill, Remove) now handle clean-ups that used to take manual work.
The cost is a yearly commitment on every individual plan. The cheapest way in is the Photography plan at $19.99/mo, which bundles Photoshop with Lightroom; Photoshop alone costs $22.99/mo. If you only open a PSD now and then, a one-time editor or a free browser tool covers the need.
