It was in the ignogral year of Photoshop in 1990, that I was taken into a small college computer room, at Exeter College. The room was equipt with black and white Apple Mac classics. I did not know then that I was using cutting edge software, but the now familair names of Thomas Knoll and John Knoll greeted me on the loading page with the words Photoshop Copyrigh 1989-90 Adobe Systems Incorporate.
Bewitched by the ability to grafitti my name on a picture of a wall, or add a third eye to someones head, I started a long romance with PS. Layers came along in Photoshop 3, followed by an extensive range of Blending modes etc. Photoshop itslef has become so powerful a creative tool, that of late I have switched to its brother application, the more work load friendly Adobe Lightroom, to manage and subtly manipulate my files; but Photoshop is still the daddy.
I raise a glass to you Photoshop, may the romance continue.
