The rise of Adobe Photoshop

The Rise of Adobe Photoshop Originally created by the Knoll brothers in the 80s, Photoshop has developed over the years into the World's most popular image editing program and has become the industry standard in all creative fields Thomas Knoll In 1987, a PhD student at the University of Michigan found that his new Mac Plus failed to display grayscale images on its 1-bit black and white display. So to solve this weakness of the Mac Plus, Thomas began coding a program that could solve this problem. John Knoll His brother John, who was in charge of the special effects department for Industrial Light and Magic on the first Star Wars movie showed interest in the project. He recommended that it be expanded into a full image editing program, which they named "Display". 1987 Display Autumn 1987 The precursor to Photoshop. 1988 Photoshop 0.07 “Bond" January 1988 Not publicly released: this demo was the first known copy of Photoshop.
