    Frequently Asked Questions about Photoshop

    Photoshop is image-editing software created by Adobe. It’s designed to digitally modify the quality, shape, size, and other characteristics of photographs or graphics. Used by both hobbyists and professionals, Photoshop is popular due to its unique filters, special effects, and tools.

    The software is effective in a range of projects, from altering simple images to playing a role in website design. As such, Photoshop contributes greatly to the digital world we interact with on a daily basis, making it important for Artists, Designers, Developers, or other digital professionals to learn and utilize.‎

    While Photoshop does not offer its full Professional Certificates, Specializations, or courses for free, there are two ways to ensure you have selected the best topic and program to meet your goal.

    • Preview the first module of many Photoshop courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
    • Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

    If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate from Photoshop, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

    If you want to use Photoshop for photo editing, graphic design, or digital art, having a clear goal can guide your learning. Regular practice with the software, exploring its tools and features, enhances your skills. Join communities like Adobe forums or Reddit’s r/photoshop for tips and feedback. Work on real projects such as editing photos or creating original designs. Coursera offers Graphic Design Specialization by California Institute of the Arts that includes comprehensive training in Photoshop.‎

    While anyone can learn Photoshop, it helps to have basic computer skills so you'll better understand how to implement what you learn to do with the software. A background or interest in graphic design or digital art can also be helpful, as can a background in web design. Any sort of artistic or creative experience involving photos or graphics, whether it's a hobby or a career, may be beneficial when learning and using Photoshop. This could include experience in anything from photography to fashion design and visual effects to advertising.‎

    Creative people are best suited for careers that use Photoshop, though anyone who likes to edit images and create graphics can find a role in the artistic fields that may use the software. But creativity alone may not be enough. You'll need tech skills, and you'll need to be innovative, as your creative endeavors may be limited by budgets and clients' wishes. Speaking of clients, you'll need good listening and communication skills so you can ensure you are creating exactly what they envision.‎

    Learning Photoshop can be for you if you want to have fun editing your own pictures and creating images as a hobby, for family and friends, or to add to your own personal website. However, if you're focused on a career, learning Photoshop can look great on your resume. If you are applying for a job that requires it, you'll definitely need to know Photoshop. In some fields, like marketing, advertising, journalism, and media, you may not be required to understand the software, but doing so can set you above the competition. There are other ways it can give a little boost to your career too. Learning Photoshop can also help you set yourself up as a freelancer in fields like graphic design and web design. If you're a photographer, Photoshop can be useful if you need to touch up pictures. If you're an entrepreneur, you can use it to create business cards, flyers, and other media for your company.‎
