House



This is the house where my main pieces will be stored in. I'm still not happy with the design and would like to try another design.

Evolution of Photoshop

Here's a simple list of the major features of Adobe Photoshop throughout the years:


1
1990
Following Thomas & John Knoll's licensing agreement with Adobe, the first Mac version of this "Killer App" arrived in February 1990.

2
1991

Version 2, code named "Fast Eddy" arrived in the summer of 1991. With the arrival in 1993 of version 2.5, the application now also supported the Windows platform.

3
1994

This version added for the first time the "Layers" feature.

4
1996
Controversial key commands were changed.

5
1998

Version 5 introduced colour management and the history palette. A major update, version 5.5 bundled Adobe's package ImageReady in an entirely new iteration, giving Photoshop excellent Web specific features.

6
2000

The entire interface was overhauled. The new design accommodated better organisation and more efficient use of palettes.

7
2002
The healing brush and patch tool were added.

8
2003
Known as Photoshop CS, Photoshop was now presented as part of the Adobe Creative Suite. While on first glance not much appeared to have changed a large number of new features were added, such as RAW support and the histogram palette.

9
2005
Known as Photoshop CS2, the latest version includes a bunch of powerful new filters and editing tools, tighter integration with and support for Illustrator graphics, support for 32-bit images, and significant improvements to its camera RAW workflow.


From other websites I can gather that CS3 had Clone Source palette and nondestructive Smart Filters introduced. This was also the first version able to import 3d objects , but with limited editing capabilities. However Cs4 changed that and you can directly "paint" on meshes in the program.

The link above is a neat compilation of screenshots of several versions of Photoshop. I first started using the software when version 7 came out in 2002. By then the software was already fairly advanced and going to higher versions didn't seem like a steep learning curve.
