For Your Inspection: Source Code For Photoshop 1.0

Posted by timothy on from the time-delay dept.

gbooch writes "With the permission of Adobe Systems, the Computer History Museum has made available the source code for Photoshop version 1.0.1, comprising about 128,000 lines of code within 179 files, most of which is in Pascal, the remainder in 68000 assembly language. This the kind of code I aspire to write. The Computer History Museum has earlier made available the source code to MacPaint."

      For the sake of consistency, they use the same servers they originally had to deliver photoshop 1.0.1

    Hopefully the Gimp folks can make some use of this.

      Yeah, now this might finally help GIMP become functionally equivalent to Photoshop 1.0.

      unless there is a clear licence allowing them to use the code, they would probably be wise not to look at it at all.

      I'm pretty sure they were making a joke.

      After using the Gimp, it's difficult to dispute this.

  5. Run in emulator by jbeaupre · · Score: 5, Funny

    Has anybody run it in a 68k Mac emulator? It would be interesting to see a performance comparison between modern PhotoShop running natively and version 1 running on an emulator.

    Yeah, C++, C#, VB.NET and F# are ALL dying languages. Fucking moron.

    F# ? I agree it's not dying, but only because it never lived.
