Photoshop Turns 20
Well people, Adobe Photoshop is officially old. In fact, two days ago it turned 20, and the entire world is celebrating.
Photoshop 1.0 was release February 18, 1990 for Macintosh exclusively, coded and developed by brothers John and Thomas Knoll. The first Windows version came out in 1992. Since it’s humble release, Photoshop has exploded into an indispensable app, forever changing the world of photography, drawing, and design.
Adobe’s Photoshop is the industry standard with no serious competition in sight. Photoshop is also probably one of the most pirated programs in existence (The full version of CS4 will set you back $699 US). For cheaper or free alternatives, check out other titles like GIMP or Paint.NET
