Photoshop is one of the most famous image processing software of Adobe.
1985, Apple Computer Company of the United States took the lead in introducing Macintosh Macintosh series computers with graphical interfaces. 1986 In the summer, Thomas Knoll, a graduate student at the University of Michigan, wrote a program to display gray-scale images on Macintosh Plus. At first, he named the software display, and later this program was discovered by his brother john knoll. John suggested that Thomas use this program for commercial value. John also participated in the development of early photoshop software, and he developed the plug-in. In a product demonstration, it was suggested that Thomas could be called photoshop. Thomas was very satisfied with the name and later kept it. Later, it was acquired by Adobe, and the name remained.
1988 In the summer, John searched for investors in Silicon Valley and found Adobe. Finally, they found Russell Brown, the artistic director of Adobe. Russell Brown is already studying whether to consider another company Letraset's ColorStudio image editing program. After seeing Photoshop, he felt that the Knoll brothers' program was more promising. 1August, 988, they verbally decided to cooperate, and the real legal contract was not completed until April of the following year. One of the key words in the contract is that Adobe has obtained Photoshop's "distribution license", which means authorizing the distribution rather than buying out all copyrights.
Adobe realized the importance of Photoshop in cs4.0 version, and they decided to buy out all rights of Photoshop.
In the subsequent development process, the official version number of photoshop 8.0 is CS, the version number of 9.0 is CS2, the version number of 10.0 is CS3, and the version number of 1 1.0 is CS4.
CS is the abbreviation of the last two words in a set of Adobe Creative Suite software, which stands for "creative collection" and is a unified design environment. Use Adobe Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, GoLive CS2 and Acrobat 7.0 Professional software with Version Cue CS2, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Stock Photos.
The latest version is Adobe Photoshop CS4.
