Obviously I'm sure it depends on what you specialize in but just trying to get an idea of how I should prioritize which Adobe applications I work on. Recently had a graphic designer tell me they spend ~90% of their time in photoshop and I'm wondering if that is fairly normal or not. Feel free to mention what type of work or specialization you do and your most used apps. Thanks for your time. Any tips with learning and things to focus on are greatly appreciated as well.

I would also be very interested to know the information on this subject ..
Photoshop is a staple for photo editing, compositing, and digital painting. Illustrator is essential for vector graphics, logos, and illustrations, while InDesign is key for layout work (e.g., magazines, brochures).Originally Posted by alicemaness
Adobe Photoshop is the most popular graphic software today. When mentioning Photoshop, users immediately think of the power of this outstanding photo editing application. In addition, Photoshop can also be used to design simple websites, draw textures for other 3D graphic software.
It’s interesting to see how Photoshop dominates many designers’ workflows, and even technical fields like those featured on

Interesting question! Your graphic designer's experience sounds pretty typical for certain specializations. Many artists in illustration or photo manipulation do live in Photoshop. If you're into UI/UX, you'd likely spend more time in Figma or Adobe XD. For page layout, InDesign is king. Learning to effectively use a few core tools, and mastering the fundamentals like design principles, is key. Think of it like a game, mastering the Pips of your creative suite.
