History of PhotoShop
Photoshop version 1.0 was released by Adobe Systems
in 1990. It was developed by the brothers Thomas Knoll and
John Knoll (a motion picture visual effects specialist, best
known for his work as Visual Effects Supervisor on the Star
Wars prequels).
The program was intended as a tool for manipulating images
that were digitized by a scanner, a rare and expensive device
in those days.
