It sounds like the title of an independent movie, yet, Thomas and John Knoll were an instrumental part in the rapid rise of digital photography and also to Apple Mac\u2019s being an integral part of many photographer\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their software is now used as a verb in much the same way we \u201cGoogle\u201d something. We are talking about, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/photoshop-techniques\/\">Photoshop<\/a> and today we are going to take a little journey down memory lane to see where this important part of imaging history came from and how it developed. There are many things you may not yet know, so brace yourselves and take&nbsp;some time to digest this&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genesis, Display & ImagePro&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the mid-1980\u2019s Thomas Knoll wrote a program to display grey scale images on his newly acquired Macintosh Plus. His brother John worked at the famous effects studio, Industrial Light, and magic was struck by how similar this simple imaging program was to the high-end software that Industrial Light were using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John bought a newly released Macintosh II with it\u2019s color display and persuaded Thomas to rewrite his app to deal with color images. They named this app, rather unoriginally, <strong>Display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[url=https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/5nVwk6][img]https:\/\/c4.staticflickr.com\/4\/3213\/2873516451_9d265d53ab.jpg[\/img][\/url]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genesis &#8211; Photoshop 1.

The name again changed to Photoshop but there seems to be no Eureka moment as to why it gained this moniker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through contacts, Photoshop was shown to Adobe who in 1988 agreed to license the software with the brothers continuing to develop it and earn royalties from it\u2019s licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're just starting out and want to get going on Adobe's Creative Cloud suite by getting involved with <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>, then consider this great <strong>Course<\/strong>: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/stpb\">Photoshop Basics For Photographers<\/a>&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Quickly learn the skills that will set your photos apart from the pack!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Early Photoshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Version 1.0 was released on Mac only in <strong>1990<\/strong>. Ironically despite it today being a high end tool for professionals, it was marketed as a mass market app for anyone interested in digital imaging and was <strong>half the price of it\u2019s nearest competitor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it\u2019s price was still a hefty $1000. Version two was released a year or so later with a many features aimed at graphic designers and digital printing. Realizing the potential of the Microsofts\u2019 Windows, a v2.5 was released to support that OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third incarnation of Photoshop introduced perhaps its greatest ever feature, <strong>Layers<\/strong>. Further features were added over the following decade such as color management, history and tools for web design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By<strong> 2003<\/strong> Photoshop had reached Version 13, it was <strong>time for a rebranding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[url=https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/5LpdU2][img]https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/4\/3092\/3127883857_03ba69fa29_z.jpg?zz=1[\/img][\/url]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evolution of the Toolbar.

Photoshop CS was an integral part of that rebranding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CS was evolutionary rather than revolutionary but it was the first Photoshop to require product registration. <strong>CS2<\/strong> came along in <strong>2005<\/strong> bringing with it the recognition that <strong>digital photography was getting big<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It included big improvements to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The RAW processor,<\/li><li>A new smart sharpening tool, vanishing point tool and red eye reduction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CS3<\/strong> came in <strong>2007<\/strong> and provided support for the newly updated <em>Intel Macs<\/em> as well as much better performance in <em>Windows Vista<\/em>. A nod to the future growth of mobile technology was included in the form of a tool for creating mobile-friendly files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another big moment in the story of Photoshop came with CS4 in 2008, the <strong>introduction of 64 bit<\/strong> whilst CS5 started to introduce us to the potential of content-aware tools such as fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An incremental update, 5.5 gave us a glimpse of the future of Photoshop with its <strong>option for subscription licensing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[url=https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/uyWeb][img]https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/143\/323287892_530cdbb6f3_z.jpg?zz=1[\/img][\/url]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming familiar, Photoshop CS3. By\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/teezeh\/\">Thomas Cloer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last of the Creative Suite Photoshops arrived in <strong>2012<\/strong>, <strong>CS6<\/strong>. This gained multiple enhancements for photographers as well as video makers and illustrators. It also introduced us to the dark interface we know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creative Cloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2013 Adobe released <strong>arguably it\u2019s most controversial Photoshop<\/strong>, Photoshop CC. The controversy stemmed from the fact that you could no longer buy a perpetual license, instead, you were tied into paying monthly for the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its controversy, CC seems to have attracted a newer, bigger customer base that has allowed them to add smaller incremental updates to the program on a more frequent basis. The current incarnation of Photoshop is CC2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-261736\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53-500x281.png\" alt=\"Photoshop as we know it today\" class=\"wp-image-261736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-11-at-10.17.53.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Photoshop as we know it today<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been quite a journey for Photoshop, from a simple greyscale mac-only program to the giant of the imaging industry that it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the time being, Photoshop looks to be keeping its position as the ultimate go-to editing app for photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're just starting out and want to get going on Adobe's Creative Cloud suite by getting involved with <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>, then consider this great <strong>Course<\/strong>: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/stpb\">Photoshop Basics For Photographers<\/a>&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Quickly learn the skills that will set your photos apart from the pack!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/photoshop-techniques\/\">3 Extremely Useful Photoshop Techniques you Should Know<\/a> <strong>by Jason Row<\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/why-adobes-creative-cloud-for-photographers-is-a-good-deal\/\">Why Adobe\u2019s Creative Cloud for Photographers is a Good Deal<\/a> <strong>by Jason Row<\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/do-you-know-these-10-selection-tools-in-adobe-photoshop\/\">Do You Know These 10 Selection Tools in Adobe Photoshop?<\/a> <strong>by Karlo de Leon<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photoshop has a charming history behind its origins and we can learn just how far this iconic piece of photographic software has come from the late 80&#8217;s.
