Because of the market dominance and the massive array of functionality of Adobe Photoshop it is the market dominate graphic manipulation application. The market dominance of this software has spanned three decades. However, due to their monopoly Adobe has not had motivation for any true innovation in this industry for many years, perhaps over a decade.

Adobe Photoshop is extremely popular. However, popularity is sometimes due to monopoly. This is typically the first advanced image manipulation software taught to students in academia for graphic design, web development, and desktop publishing. Students love the software as it is the only software they know.

Although Adobe Photoshop is the market dominate application for image manipulation it is not necessarily the best. Adobe licensing is Draconian as in very strict and overreaching, backed by Adobe's overly aggressive legal civil team some companies are now waking up and avoiding Adobe like the plague.

The User Interface of Adobe Photoshop has never been intuitive. It takes considerable training to become proficient in the software. When compared to Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop is far more difficult to use because the UI is not logically constructed for the common computer user. It should be noted that Paint Shop Pro does more than Paint Shop Pro, however, it has been matched in features by a Free Open Source competitor called Gimp.

It is difficult to understand why graphic artists and desktop publishers continue to fork out big fees for Adobe software when FOSS Gimp can accomplish the same tasks in relatively the same way and is much more cost effective often being completely free.
