Is Adobe Photoshop Free for Students?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:42 pm

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll.

Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole. Photoshop is used by photographers, graphic designers, video game artists, advertising artists, architects, scientists, and other creative professionals.

PRO TIP: Adobe Photoshop is not free for students. There is a monthly subscription fee for the software.

The software’s name has thus become a generic trademark, leading to its usage as a verb (e.g., “to Photoshop an image”, “photoshopping” or “Photoshop job”) although Adobe discourages such use. Photoshop can edit and compose images in layers and supports text, vector graphics, raw image formats for digital cameras, opacity, layer masks, alpha compositing
