Photoshop has turned 20 years old. One of the pioneering tools for most graphic designers has gone through some major changes since it first hit the stage in the late 80′s. Creators, Thomas Knoll and John Knoll first launched the application, then called “Display” in 1990. A quick name change the following year to Image Pro, then to Photoshop which remains it’s name today.

Photoshop CS5 promises some amazing additions to the suite of tools and effects, and we can’t wait to see its roll out soon. The leading image in this post was created by our Director using techniques common to Photoshop. A stack of layers, brushes and Effects went into creating our “Homage Photoshop in the Can” illustration.
