Below is a cool video of John Knoll talking about the early development of Photoshop. It’s fun to her the story of the creation of Photoshop from one of it's creators. I still remember when I first heard of Photoshop. I saw the box for version 1.0 on the shelf of a company that did high-end image and design color correction as well as image manipulation. I was like "Hey what’s that?" Not long after that I got my hands on my own copy when it came bundled with a gray scale Apple scanner that my employer at the time had purchased. I was addicted from hello.
