Adobe Photoshop Version Release
History |
|
Adobe Photoshop is the de facto standard
desktop digital imaging package, used for bitmap photo
and image manipulation. It started in 1990 as a
Macintosh-only application, and continues to be
developed to this day. Support for the Windows platform
was added in 1993. The latest, ninth version, was
released in 2005. |
|
|
|
The application was initially developed by
Thomas and John Knoll. Thomas was a programmer, while
John was in charge of special effects for Industrial
Light & Magic (ILM) on the first Star Wars film.
Photoshop is here today because John asked
Thomas to develop software to add effects and painting
tools to images used on George Lucas's epic. |

The table below lists the various versions of Photoshop that you may encounter. |
