Adobe celebrates 35 years of Photoshop with a new video series
Though it doesn't seem possible, Photoshop is turning 35 today. Naturally, the powerful photo editing platform has undergone much growth and change since its launch in 1990. To celebrate the milestone and the inspiring stories of those who use Photoshop, Adobe has announced a new content series on YouTube with Adobe's Russel Preston Brown, Sr. Principal Designer as host. Brown is the longest-standing employee to date at Adobe, having worked for an incredible 40 years at the company. The inaugural episode features a conversation between Brown and Joel Grimes, a professional photographer who has been recognized as a Canon Legend Photographer and a Top Pro Elite Photographer by FJ Westcott. Their conversation explores how far photography has come in the past few decades and how Photoshop has evolved over the years. The pair discusses the transition from film to digital and how tools in Photoshop evolved from analog techniques. "Going from film to digital was very painful, but I had the greatest revelation I’ve ever had in photography – that is, I’m just an artist with a set of tools," Grimes explains in the video. "There’s no definition that’s going to bind me to one way of doing something." The conversation is interesting, even covering where the name Photoshop came from. But at nearly 30 minutes long, you'll want to be sure to set aside some time to sit down and watch. Along with the video, Adobe has shared a blog post highlighting key Photoshop milestones over the years, "from the release of Photoshop 1.0 in 1990 and its pivotal contributions to Hollywood, to the product’s ongoing evolution through the 2000’s and what’s still to come."
