Adobe Photoshop is mostly used for illustrations and editing photographs. You can also add text in Photoshop and adjust qualities such as the font, size and color of the text, creating advertisements, images, or titles. Keep in mind that the main reason why people create text in Photoshop is to add a visual element to their Photoshop image with short messages, rather than type out long paragraphs or make text-only documents.
