What is the history of photoshop?
First of all, the importance of Photoshop is obvious. As one of the three pillars of Adobe graphics software, this software has always played a decisive role.

So Photoshop is Adobe's software? No, it was relatively simple when Photoshop was first born. It is an image display program written by Noel brothers in 1987. You can see the content of the image on the computer screen, but it is still black, white and gray. At first, its name was not Photoshop, but display. After many adjustments and revisions, the two brothers took their own software (the name of the software was changed several times during the period, and finally they accepted the opinions of visitors and decided to name it Photoshop) to participate in various exhibitions and promote their own software. During this period, the software has the content of color balance and saturation, and some color adjustments can be made.

Finally, a year later, 1988 was bought by Adobe (finally sold its own software at a suitable price), and Photoshop software was constantly adjusted and added new functions in the next two years.

Two years later, in 1990, Adobe released Photoshop 1.0, which was the joint efforts of the Noel brothers and Adobe. It is worth mentioning that the size at this time is only about 100K, which is a very small software.

199 1 year, Adobe released Photoshop2.0 version 2.0, which added the function of cutting the edges of objects, supported the CMYK color mode, and used the pen tool in it. The most important thing is that the road has appeared. With the appearance of these functions, this software can be used in the printing industry from the initial picture adjustment to the present.

1992, Adobe released Photoshop2.5 version 2.5. This version was supposed to be released, but there were some loopholes, so the new version 2.5. 1 was updated immediately. The previous version of this system supported the Mac system, and this version also supported the windows version from 2.5. 1

1994, Adobe released Photoshop3.0 version 3.0. Wow, this version is amazing, with layers, which is great. The appearance of layers can simplify complicated work. But also added the function of palette label.

1June 1996 1 1 or so, Adobe released Photoshop4.0 version 4.0. This version adds an adjustable layer, which can edit the content of the type; Moreover, in this version, adobe hopes that the user interface of Photoshop can be unified with other Adobe products, so it has adjusted the user interface of Photoshop.

1998, Adobe released Photoshop5.0 version 5.0. This version has the concept of history, and it can go forward or backward. You can cancel the previous operation, which is good. And there is a history panel. In Photoshop5.0.2 version 5.0.2, the first Chinese version began to appear. When Photoshop appeared 1 1 year, there was a Chinese version. In the past, China has always used the English version. Starting this year, you can choose to use the Chinese version.

1999, Adobe released Photoshop5.5 version 5.5. Adobe bundled this version with ready, and added functions such as saving as web page format, drawing and vector image, which provided great convenience for web designers. Since then, Photoshop has entered the web design industry.

In 2000, Adobe released Photoshop6.0 version 6.0. This version of the interface has been updated, adding filters (dissolve), and more tricks, that is, vector graphics drawing, and even adding layer styles. This version also implements vector graphics.

In 2002, Adobe released version 7.0 of Photoshop7.0. This version first vectorized all the words, and the words we entered became vector words that could be modified at any time. And added a repair brush and a new painting engine. Moreover, according to the popularization of digital imaging technology at that time, the support for camera RAW format was increased, and camera images could be processed directly through this software. This also established the position of Photoshop in photo processing.

In 2003, Adobe released the PhotoshopCS version. CS is just an abbreviation, and its full name is CreativeSuite, which means Creative Suite. Other related products of Adobe have also changed their version names and become CS. Since then, Photoshop7.0 is the last version named after numbers, and PhotoshopCS has also started the CS series. This version supports camera RAW2.x, and has the technologies of shadow, highlight command, color matching, lens blur, column diagram, DRM copyright protection, and supports JavaScript scripting language and other languages.

In 2005, Adobe released version .0. This version supports camerraw32.x, image distortion, smart object, red-eye tool, point recovery brush, lens correction filter, vanishing point, intelligent sharpening, high dynamic range imaging, multi-layer selection and "small object" function.

In 2007, Adobe released version 0. The biggest change of this version is the significant increase of loading speed, and it is also optimized for mobile device images.

In 2008, Adobe released version 0. Adding scaling and smoothing brushes can make Photoshop more powerful, strengthen the function of color correction, and finally strengthen dynamic images and simplify the information collected by data. Simplify workflow, improve design efficiency, and support intelligent scaling of content, support 64-bit operating system, in short: faster and stronger!

20 10, the 20th anniversary of Photoshop of Adobe, released PhotoshopCS5 this time. This version can better detect the edge of the image, increase the content of the mask, handle the automatic lens correction of the image, and support HDR adjustment and region deletion. New brush system.

In 20 12, Adobe released version .0. This version adopts Mercury's image engine, which can identify and repair the image content, and the interface design is more beautiful, and the corresponding design tools have also been readjusted. Starting from 20 12, Adobe basically updates most software once a year.

20 13, Adobe changed its name again, and the name of the whole tin class was changed to CC. Similarly, CC is an abbreviation, full name of CreativeCloud, which means Creative Cloud. And Adobe is discovering Adobe? 6? 8 creativity? 6? 8Cloud has released all its own products. Users don't need to download Adobe products separately online in the future, but can directly choose the appropriate software to download on this creative cloud. The version released this time, named version, is more camera-friendly, adding the anti-shake function of the camera, improving the cameraRAW function, greatly improving the image sampling, and further improving the property panel, behavior and other functions.

20 14, Adobe released the version. In 20 14, Adobe withdrew from China market, and China R&D team moved to India. The main reason for withdrawing from the China market is that most users in China are using pirated software from Adobe, resulting in Adobe not making money. No way, some products of Adobe are too expensive for most designers, with a value of almost 8,000 RMB, which is more expensive for most designers. I really can't afford it, and the cracked software can also be used. Cracking Adobe software smells good.

In this version, smart guides, linking smart objects, content recognition, Photoshop generator and 3D printing have been enhanced. The use of search fonts and typekit fonts has been increased, and the functions of path blur and rotation blur have been added.

20 15, Adobe released the version. The purpose of this version is to pursue more perfect performance, so it adds new sketchpad, equipment preview, fuzzy gallery, design space, library, export sketchpad and so on.

20 17, Adobe released the version. This version is very friendly to beginners, provides more intuitive tool tips, and there are small hand-held teaching animations on the toolbar, which will ensure teaching! You can access Lightroom pictures synchronized in the cloud and share content with other social apps; Added new functions of pen tool, more intelligent brush management mode and so on.

20 18, Adobe released the version. Enhanced content identification and filling function, framework tool that can realize masking function, improved usability, added real-time mode mixed preview, and "font matching" function now supports Japanese fonts.

Adobe will be released in a period of time. I wonder what new features this version will have to help designers work better. I am looking forward to it.
