    I absolutely love this program. It's exactly what I needed for my photo & video editing at a very affordable one-time price but packing a wallop like its big brother Photoshop Pro!

    good rudimentary and some advanced functions. However the insidious and constant barrage of adobe intrusions is annoying to say the least. Had I not needed it for numerous older photo saves I would continue using Ubuntu software. Maybe time to convert all those old photos.

    I would stay away from ANY digital download from Best Buy website, I bought this Adobe thing, BIG MISTAKE!!! it took 2 weeks dealing daily with the geek squad on the phone and online and two trips to the store to get this mess figured out!! If I could give negative stars I would! I was not impressed with ANYTHING to do with Best Buy! I will NEVER buy a software from Best Buy again! And the geek squad, very polite and apologetic but most did NOT help me much. the whole ordeal was pretty ridiculous, going through all that from an issue their digital download caused. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!

    Far from my favorite program.

    I have used Adobe Photoshop Editor (w/organizer) for quite a few years. Neither program is as intuitive as I would like. I can get good results that I appreciate but almost any new feature or process takes way too much trial and error. Also, for Organizer in particular, after MANY attempts it refused to bulk import photos from my hard drive. And they were all in the default Windows Pictures folder. Had to go through every folder and subfolder and tell it to import the files. Also, how the catalog works, gets updated, and how you can eliminate pictures from the catalog as identified by the startup process is NOT clear.

    Slow Download but worth the wait.

    A little confusing to setup but a nice product once you get it installed. It took quite awhile to get the digital download of the product. Downloading was pretty slow as well. But, once it was installed, the product was just what we were looking for.

    Adobe Photoshop worked great for what I needed. I was able to create a collage of my grandchildren, and it looks fantastic! Can't wait to experiment further with the different features it offers.

    Able to make some great improvements from my photos taken from a Sony A7r iiia 42.4 mp camera at a reasonable price. Takes a little practice but well worth the money to be able to adjustments to your photographs.
