How Much Does Photoshop Cost for Windows?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 3:48 pm

PRO TIP: The article ‘How Much Does Photoshop Cost for Windows?’ is outdated and no longer accurate. The current version of Photoshop is CC 2018 and the cost for a subscription is $9.99/month.

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. The software’s name has 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 offers users a wide variety of tools for creating and manipulating images. These range from simple functions like cropping and resizing to more complex features like layers, masks, and filters. Photoshop also supports a wide variety of file formats, both proprietary and non-proprietary.

The cost of Photoshop depends on which version you want to buy. The latest version, Photoshop CC, costs $9.99/month if you want to buy it outright, or $19.99/month if you want to subscribe to it through Adobe Creative Cloud. If you’re only interested in using Photoshop for basic image editing, you might want to consider buying an older version of the software; Adobe currently offers Photoshop CS6 for $699.

No matter which version of Photoshop you decide to buy, you’re sure to get your money’s worth out of the world’s most popular image editing software.
