Pioneer Spirit

I’ve been a little late in get­ting this post online, so you may already know—Adobe Pho­toshop is 20 years old!

Huge con­grat­u­la­tions to the Knoll brothers, and everyone involved with the applic­a­tion at Adobe! It’s an enormous achieve­ment, and there are a number of things online that I wanted to point out to you all, that really show how much pro­gress the applic­a­tion has made over the past 20 years.

• Cel­eb­rating 20 years of ima­gin­a­tion never standing still
• Pho­toshop 20^th Anniversary Event, hosted by the National Asso­ci­ation of Pho­toshop Professionals
• A new show on Adobe TV cel­eb­rating the 20^th Anniversary of Adobe Photoshop

There are also some fun things going on online, related to the event:

• A friendly Layer Tennis match, between Khoi Vinh, design dir­ector for the New York Times web site, and Nich­olas Felton, life-chronicler of the Fel­tron Annual Reports. Com­mentary by John Nack (Pho­toshop Product Manager).
• A spe­cial edi­tion of Mar­tini Hour, fea­turing the John Nack Con­fig­ur­ator drinking game!
• Finally, check out this 20^th anniversary tribute by Gio­vanni Antico, cre­ated in Adobe Pho­toshop 1.0.7!

If you’ve seen any­thing else cool, please leave a com­ment, and let us all know.

Here’s to the next 20 years!
