Photoshop was originated at LucasFilms for very specialised use in editing special effects frames, etc. Adobe purchased the engine and algorithms from LucasFilms and ported it to the Macintosh II, the first personal computer to sport 24-bit colour.

hmmm...is it just me or does that seem slightly...aaah...old?

uh, maybe that's why cprompt said they should update it

That is a pretty cool piece of trivia.

Yes..Old...and Interesting.

Nice grab there Mahjqa.

I'm not surprised that ILM, LucasArts and LucasFilms are the base for such great graphical software. They really are leaders in the field of innovation.

Of course George is just a money-grubbing bastard willing to re-film his grandma with CG edits and extra-footage...but then that might be just me.


heh.

Yeah, that is an interesting story. I think it would be more accurate to say that Photoshop originated with someone who worked at ILM, though.

Check out this article. I thought someone had posted the url for a .pdf that gave a very detailed history, but it might have been somewhere else...

I know its been posted here before, but how do you see the secret picture in photoshop again? I know you have to select "About Photoshop" holding some certain keys.

Anyone know about interesting facts about photoshop or Adobe?
