Very cool! Happy birthday PS. Great links.
If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have this site to work with and have fun.
Cheers PhotoShop and Adobe.
Thanks Michel for the find

It's amazing how Photoshop is part of my life, like the clothes I wear, or the utensils I use every day, even if I only have been using PS for a few years. I can't imagine the world without it.
--- About PS and Photography ---
Even the very basic functions of PS are a revolution to the world of photography. The way you can change the contrast and colours makes it so much easier to achieve the results you envision. You used to have to do a lot of thinking and planning BEFORE you even took the picture to choose the right film and have the right lighting. Nowadays it is still important to know the theory, but it is a lot more forgiving.

It’s ironic to see him warning people about the perspective of having photomanipulated pictures change the way we take photos at “face value” as we are entering a world that is more virtual every day. Maybe he couldn’t see it coming back then?

I have had Photoshop for a long time, but not 20 years.. It is funny though looking back to when it was actually just a photoshop comparing it to the tremendously powerful artist platform it has became today...
Layers and rotating canvas, who would have thunk it..
Thanks for the post.

It is actually nice to see that I am older then the geeks who created photoshop 20 years ago..... And cool to see some of the faces behind the names on the opening screen. Boy it must feel good to develop something that starts off as on pixel in the mind of a lab rat and grows out to such an industry of fun in the real world.

Things were not so "good" then, that the obvious changes were undetected

Images were doctored way before PS ever existed.
I don't know why some people thought photographs had to be "pure" and represent reality. When people were using films, there were all sorts of different kind of films to choose from, with different colour tones. Then, there's also the angle of the lens, which angle should be considered to be like you are looking with your eyes? I don't believe there's such a thing as a picture that is "true" to reality. I guess you could say: "as seen through my camera".
Making an image look "natural" and "realistic" is an art in itself. A makeup artist explained to me that to achieve the "natural" look, you needed the most makeup.
