Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:10 pm

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for macOS and Windows. Photoshop was created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, Photoshop has become the de facto industry standard in raster graphics editing.

So, how many types of Photoshop are there? Well, Adobe actually offers two versions of Photoshop: the subscription-based Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) and the one-time purchase Photoshop Elements.

PRO TIP: This article may contain outdated information. Photoshop is a software program that is constantly being updated, so the number of types of Photoshop may have changed since this article was written.

Photoshop CC is the most comprehensive and advanced version of Photoshop. It includes all the features and tools you need to create stunning images for print, web, and social media. If you’re a professional graphic designer or photographer, then Photoshop CC is the best choice for you.

Photoshop Elements is a more budget-friendly option that still offers powerful features and tools. It’s a great choice for amateur photographers and hobbyists who don’t need all the bells and whistles of Photoshop CC.

So, there you have it! Two types of Photoshop to choose from depending on your needs and budget.
