Evolution of Photoshop

Now, I might be pretty old, just rolled past 29, but often weird to find out how old some programs are. We know the evolution of Microsoft and Windows, but some people, especially the younger crowd doesn’t know how old Photoshop is. After hearing some rumors regarding the new CS4 Stonehenge, I stumbled across a link for screenshots of previous versions of Photoshop. I got into Photoshop at the end of 6.0 into 7, so I’m pretty late compared to some people. Just in case you were wondering what you missed out, I’ve included the load screenshots of the program over the years. If you want to see more screenshots of the program itself and other parts, I strongly recommend you go here: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/apps/photoshop/aboutboxeasteregg

 

If you want a version by version history, you can click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_release_history
As for CS4, although time tables suggest it coming out within the next year, and using more power from your graphics card, there still hasn’t been an official announcement.

    This is awesome! I first started using photoshop on the 2.5LE version…just before 3.0 came out. But those were all on the Mac systems. All through high school in my design classes…it was 4.0 and 5.0. 5.0 came out right as I was about to graduate high school. I use to be really good at this program. Not so much anymore.

    Good post!
