Adobe Photoshop is the industry-standard photo editing software that allows you to create and edit digital images with ease. Whether you are a professional designer, photographer, or a hobbyist looking to enhance your photos, Photoshop is a must-have tool. Here’s how you can get Photoshop on your Mac.
Step 1: Visit the Adobe Website
The first step is to navigate to the Adobe website. Here, you can find all Adobe products, including Photoshop. The direct URL to Adobe’s site is https://www.adobe.com/.
Step 2: Choose a Photoshop Plan
Once you’re on the Adobe website, hover over the “Creativity & Design” tab and click on “View all products”. Scroll down to find Photoshop and click on it. Here, you will have the option to choose a plan. Adobe offers several different plans, based on your needs.
Step 3: Create an Adobe Account

The Adobe Creative Cloud will then download and install Photoshop on your Mac. Depending on your internet speed, this might take some time. Once Photoshop is installed, it will appear in your Applications folder, and you can launch it from there or through the Adobe Creative Cloud.
