I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but recently I have started to think about purchasing either Photoshop CS6, or the full CC. From what I understand you can pay $19 a month for just one app, or $49 for the whole bag. I am wondering if I will really use Photoshop enough to make this worthwhile.
Right now I use Aperture 3 for all of my organizing and majority of editing. I have Nik Software Complete package as plugins, along with PT Lens plugin since Aperture doesn't have distortion correction. I do color correction often, and use Curves adjustments in Aperture, or for some photos I'll open with either Viveza 2 or Color Efex Pro. I really like this setup, but I am wondering if Photoshop will open creative doors that I currently am unaware of. I enjoy post processing, and want to continue to improve at it. I feel a little bit like my current setup doesn't offer much in way of tutorials for how to do specific/unique things, whereas Photoshop has an entire world of training/options available.
I have never done any 'layer' based photo editing so it will certainly be a challenge learning, but one I'd be willing to take on. Are there others who have been in my situation, and did you find Photoshop worth it if you did indeed take the plunge?
Thanks for any help/guidance.
Is Photoshop Worth It
For me, Elements is a little too basic. I like Photoshop, and I can't imagine downgrading to a simpler product, due to the amount of time and effort I put into learning how the platform operates. Sometimes I don't make very complicated edits, but knowing I can make Photoshop worth having. Photoshop is the most popular photo editing software for beginners and professionals. This is a powerful program that can perform any functions related to graphics and is currently the main tool for photographers, retouchers and designers.
