Photoshop Nostalgia
« on: August 03, 2016, 13:27:22 »
When Photoshop was first made available on a CD.

I have somewhere the original Photoshop 1.07 and replaced by 2.0 available on 2 floppy disks running on a Mac II ci with a 50 meg hard drive and 4 meg memory.
I still have Photoshop running on a Mac II ci and a Mac Powebook and a Quadra 800....as well as on a Silicon Graphics souped up Indy running PS 3.0.

PS 2.0 introduced Masks
PS 3.0 introduced Layers
......and the rest is history

A friend gave me a copy of Photoshop 2.5. I was already using a legitimate copy of Aldus Photostyler. Then Adobe was allowed to buy Aldus and I got an upgrade offer from Photostyler (RIP) to Photoshop 3.0. I do NOT like the lack of competition but that's life.

All PS version were not copy protected until version 3 where you had to enter a key and version 4 where PS could verify if another copy was running on the local network. PS started verifying online if it was  a genuine registered copy around version 6 but my memory is a bit fuzzy.

Aldus Freehand swallowed and morphed to Pagemaker by Adobe which resulted in killing Quark.

This was followed by swallowing Macromedia and establishing Photoshop - Illustrator and Pagemaker as the essential design tools.

Add to that, Adobe killed Monotype after they released the famous Adobe Library typeface CD.....which is lying in my storage somewhere with the Monotype CD and a full Freehand and Media Director Boxed versions.....and Illustrator......This is where we were cheesed off in installing an application with seven floppies. Thie 5.5 version is the last pure Mac version before the interface ported to Windows.

History or Nostalgia
