Happy Birthday Photoshop!

ps

 

 

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Photoshop, which, after it’s creation by John Knoll in 1987, was launched on a Mac Plus on the 19th February 1990. To put that into some context for you, this was the same month that Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years imprisonment in South Africa, and that the Bette Midler song Wind Beneath My Wings won at the Grammy’s.

 

So – pretty long ago.

 

Photoshop has come a long way since then, enriching our lives, and becoming the industry standard image editing app (and making it so people can trick people everywhere. Thanks photoshop).

 

Adobe has launched a special celebration of Photoshop, looking back at the last 25 years and looking to the future of the next 25. Check it out here. 

From the Sauce:

 

“Today, the digital imaging revolution that Photoshop started is so pervasive that remembering a time before it existed takes some work. So it’s with great pleasure, on Photoshop’s 25th anniversary, that we look back to the simpler, pre-millennial world into which it was born, not to celebrate the past but to recognize what an awesome transformation our world has undergone in such a short amount of time.”

 

 

Do yourself a favor – Google Photoshop so you can truly appreciate it’s effect on society (and enjoy a treasure trove of majestic images!)
