History of Photoshop, The

The next time you fire up your copy of Photoshop, spare a thought for the scores of developers and the reams of code that have gone into making it. While you won't find it printed on any calendar, 2005 marks a quiet anniversary for the program that you, and many other graphic designers, probably use the most. It was 15 years ago in February that Adobe shipped version 1.0 of Photoshop - still its most popular (and lucrative) application, and possibly the only bit of software to have spawned its own verb form.
