the birth of photoshop
| June 11, 2007

"Photoshop was not the result of an elaborate skunk works in the depths of Adobe. Rather, it was developed by Thomas Knoll and his brother, John. The boys' father, Glenn Knoll (a University of Michigan Ann Arbor College of Engineering's Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences professor), had been an amateur photographer and an early adopter of micro-computers, passions that his boys eagerly embraced."

When I was a student at Univ Mich School of Art and Design I used a beta copy (or something like a 0.8 release) of Photoshop. I probably still have it on an old floppy disk up in my office. I suppose it would still run just fine in my Mac SE. Also brings to mind Aldus Pagemaker and learning to manually code in PostScript. Things change.

Also reminds me of my previous inspiration post about HyperCard.

ok, i just dated myself... next stop, "when i was your age..."
