20 Years of Photoshop
benwiggy writes "Photoshop turned 20 on 10th February 2010. Here's an excellent history, including how the Knoll family created one of the biggest apps of all time. The article also has screenshots of the workspace through the versions."
I just want to see an updated run of Jasc Paintshop 6. Basic photoediting capabilities without getting rid of the "traditional" paint functions. Gimp and Photoshop are too complicated.
The meek may inherit the earth, but the strong shall take the stars.
Readable text version of article for older browsers or just for quick loading.
XnView is being ported. Beta versions:

Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
I've had a lot of luck with Krita.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
Yes, we are: interim results at http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Krita/Benchmarking and weekly updates at http://www.krita.org/ Boudewijn Rempt -- Krita Maintainer.
Please do not suggest Gimp or PSP.
Perhaps inkscape is the GPL'd vector image editor you seek.
On topic: Everyone, please cease mentioning that Photoshop went to pot with the CS namechange, lest Adobe pulls a Comcast-esque rebranding.
GIMP is going nowhere? They are switching the graphics engine to support bigger color spaces and finally shutting up the massive amounts of people complaining about the multi-window interface (unfortunately since most of them had no intention to use GIMP in the first place they'll just jump on some other minor "problem").
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
The article leaves out quite a bit of the history of digital paint programs. This article contains a good summary (although it also leaves out yet other work).
