History of Photoshop

Very interesting graphic that shows us as I evolve the bar of tools and logos of the popular Adobe images publisher Photoshop through its different versions until arriving at the last and more recent version CS 3.

Everyone has heard of the popular graphics editing software package Photoshop - a world-wide leader among raster graphics editing applications. In this article I will cover the major points of the whole history of Photoshop creation: significant dates, releases, basic improvements, and some additional tips.

Photoshop was developed and distributed by the Adobe Photoshop company. At the very beginning it was intended for editing images for print, but it has also gained popularity as a tool for creation and editing web graphics. This is another reason that it has become so popular. The last Photoshop versions also include the special application - ImageReady, which was added specifically for work with web graphics easier.

This story begins in 1987 when 2 brothers, Thomas Knoll and John Knoll started developing Photoshop. In 1989 they completed the project and called it Photoshop 1.0. Adobe became interested in this project and the first version of Photoshop was released in 1990. It was about 1.4 Mb, and could be placed on a single floppy-disk. Initially Photoshop was created for the Macintosh platform. Compatibility updates for Windows, IRIX, and Solaris was added later. At present Photoshop can be used on Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Photoshop was a real success, and in 1991 they released… Well, everything in its turn.
