Score! Adobe Celebrates Photoshop Bi-Decennial
Adobe has become ubiquitous in the world of image-processing, but the ascent of their software from humble beginnings to becoming a verb is impressive, indeed. The first iteration was created by two nerds in their garage, licensed to Adobe in 1988, and released as Photoshop 1.0 (for Mac) in 1990. Every semi-annual release since has added innovative features, expanding the functions into a vast toolkit for artistic creativity. Advances in digital photography combined with skilled retouching have begun to blur the line between reality and fiction; the software has become so powerful that publications such as National Geographic require photographers to submit files in a "raw" image format to preclude JPEG editing. Photoshop has aged gracefully and matured into an industry-leading product in CS4, but even the best is subject to the failings of the user. 20 years of butchery have given these mistakes internet meme status, so enjoy the carnage (linked below) in celebration of Ps!
