The History of Photoshop

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cutting-and-pasting dept.

Gammu writes "For the past fifteen plus years, Photoshop has turned into the killer app for graphics designers on the Mac. It was originally written as a support app for a grad student's thesis and struggled to find wide commercial release. Eventually, Adobe licensed the app and has sold millions of copies." Achewood's Chris Onstad also offers a different take of how it all went down.

      Nobody in their right mind would use Photoshop on windoze. It's a user interface abortion gone wrong.

      It's a nightmare of a crap piece of shit on windoze. It's a nice program on the Macintosh.

    If you don't know what Cmd-Shift-1 and Cmd-Shift-2 are for, GTFO.
    If you think Firefox is a decent Mac application, GTFO.
    If you're still looking for the "maximize" button, GTFO.

    Bandwagon jumpers are not welcome among real Mac users [atspace.com]. Keep your filthy PC fingers to yourself.

    Those are meaningless comparisons. None of the designers in my circle know or give a shit about GIMP, because we all make our money with Photoshop and the rest of CS3, not some half-ass open source also-ran. If you aren't going to hire someone to do your graphics because they know the industry standard software suite but don't know some mickey-mouse wannabe program, best of luck to you.
