Adobe Photoshop is a raster image-editing software app developed by Adobe Systems, released as one of Adobe's very first apps along with Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects. Since the animating software seen in the video is still Flash 8, it's quite clear Alan Becker bought the two separately.
In real life, Alan uses it to edit pictures, create digital paintings and even animate on it. there are three tutorial videos on Photoshop in one of Alan Becker's channels, AlanBeckerTutorials.
