Within just a few months of completing the software, the two brothers had managed to form a partnership with a company named Barneyscan. Barneyscan manufactured and sold scanners and they decided to purchase copies of Thomas and John's image editing software to ship with their scanners. Following this partnership, Thomas and John sought further partnerships with other companies but unfortunately, most turned them away. A few months later though, the two brothers managed to win over Adobe executives and formed a partnership that would see them release Image Pro under the Adobe brand name.
In February , Adobe released Adobe Photoshop 1. This was the beginning of something big. Photoshop 0. This was the very first version of Photoshop ever created and although it was a fully functioning program, it was never released to the general public as you can see from the "Not for distribution" tag on the image above.
This was the first version of the software created by Thomas Knoll and his brother that was officially named Photoshop later down the line. In March , the second version of Photoshop was created. It was dubbed Photoshop 0. This was the first version of Photoshop to be commercially distributed after Thomas Knoll and his brother formed a partnership with the scanner company, Barneyscan.
Barneyscan purchased copies of Photoshop to ship along with their scanners. It might seem like a rather insubstantial event, but this was the first time image editing software as primitive as it was back then was made available to the public. Fact: Photoshop 0. It wasn't available for Windows until late Following a successful partnership with Barneyscan, Thomas Knoll and his brother John sought further partnerships and licensing agreements with the likes of Aldus and Supermac.
Both of these companies turned the two brothers and their software away. It was only when the Knoll brothers met with Adobe executives that they really hit the jackpot. Adobe executives were so impressed with the product that they offered the two brothers a licensing partnership with Adobe.
The agreement would see Photoshop version 1. Photoshop 1. It was also the first time the software was released commercially with the brand name Adobe Photoshop. Fact: Photoshop is now one of Adobe's most well-known and successful software applications. Fact: The original source code for Adobe Photoshop 1.
Following the initial success of Adobe Photoshop 1. One of the most notable new features in Adobe Photoshop 2. This allowed users of the application to trim around an object and then save that 'path' for use in the future.

Photoshop 2. Both of these features remain in the current version of Adobe Photoshop, although they have been greatly improved since the release of Photoshop 2. Stability was also improved in Adobe Photoshop 2. Adobe Photoshop 2. The software had to be completely rewritten for the Windows operating system which made the release a time consuming affair.
The initial Windows release was also found to have a memory bug so Adobe offered the Photoshop 2. Mark Hamburg, one of the engineers who had worked on the software, offered to make house calls to those Windows users who had been affected by the memory bug prior before releasing the 2. It was the first version of Adobe Photoshop with bit per channel support and Filters were given their own menu on the toolbar. Fact: Photoshop 2. Fact: 'Merlin' was the developers codename for the Mac version of the software while 'Brimstone' was the codename was the Windows release.
Adobe Photoshop 3. It was version 3. Thomas Knoll was responsible for the introduction of layers and it completely revolutionised image editing. Before Photoshop 3. The layers feature got rid of the need for this process by allowing designers to use a number of layers within each project. Layers are essentially different slides of images that combine to make the final design.
Different layers would be used for different sections of the image, thus allowing the designer to manipulate different parts of the image individually, without affecting other parts of the design. For example, an image of a supermodel outdoors might be made up of two layers; the model and then the background. Both parts of the image could be edited separately as they were on different layers. Photoshop 3. Previously, the Windows version wasn't as stable, as was proven by the memory bug in version 2.
Fact: Photoshop 3. Fact: 'Tiger Mountain' was the developers codename for the Macintosh version of Photoshop 3. Adobe Photoshop 4. Actions was a nifty feature that, for the first time ever, allowed designers to map multiple commands and effects to one single command an Action. For example, a designer could map a number of filters in a specific order to one single action. The Action could then be applied to as many images as necessary an unlimited number of times.
This allowed users to save a lot of time when working on a large group of images. Adjustment Layers was a somewhat similar feature that allowed designers to apply an effect to a group of Layers.
Again, this allowed designers to save a huge amount of time when working with Photoshop. Both of these features are still present in the current version of Photoshop and remain some of the most widely used additions ever.

All these steps can be executed without closing Photoshop. Three-dimensional brushes and video editing features were included in CS5 Extended. The Shadow Catcher tool ensures perfection of 3D objects.
Options to convert 2D images into 3D ones are another crowd pleaser. Options like Chrome, Glass and Cork were added in the materials library. The version supports more than camera models and provides highly-developed facilities for deleting unwanted noise, while adding attractive effects like grains and vignettes.

Flawless blending with surrounding areas is facilitated through this tool. Content Aware move enables users to move or extend the selected pixels to a desired area.
The usage of masks and layers are no longer required. In addition, the version surprised users with a set of tools meant for video editing. After editing, it can be exported into other Photoshop file formats. Background saving was another innovation introduced. It allows editing to continue even while another document is getting archived. A big relief in the form of auto-save feature was brought by the version. It perfectly safeguards all your efforts and no more worries about works getting accidentally deleted.
The straighten tool was yet another specialty of CS6. The tool enables any line drawn on any part of the image to automatically become horizontal.

The latest version of Photoshop permits a lot more properties like opacity and color to be saved per-brush. Also, brushes are classified into folders and sub-folders. The latest version brings along a new feature called brush stroke smoothing. Along with the feature, more than brushes are part of the version.

Frame Tool can be used for swiftly creating placeholder frames in shapes of rectangle or ellipse.
Images to be masked have to be placed in such frames. Any text or shape may also be converted into frames for filling the same with images. Spontaneous scaling of the image would happen for fitting the frame. Smart Objects form is used by Photoshop for content positioned within the frame to allow non-destructive scaling. The editing process has been rendered more interactive with dedicated Content-Aware Fill. This new workspace helps in achieving seamless fill with the help of Adobe Sensei technology.
Choosing the preferred source pixels for using, rotating, scaling and mirroring them has become possible. Previewing of the modifications in full resolution in live mode is facilitated. The results can be saved to a new layer. This feature has now been imported in Photoshop. By default, the multiple undo option remains enabled.

The name of step or action which would be undone or moved forward while clicking the commands would be displayed against respective Undo and Redo sub-menus in Edit menu. Users who do lots of retouching with the Rubber Stamp tool will welcome the new Clone Source palette, which offers the ability to change the clone source numerically, store multiple clone sources, or view the clone source as a semi-transparent overlay over your document.
Making selections is a big part of many retouching tasks from compositing to localized correction and filtering.
To ease this task, CS3 adds a new Quick Selection brush, which allows you to select an object by simply brushing over it. As you brush, the program automatically analyzes your image to determine which pixels in the region need to be selected. No matter which selection tools you use, the new Refine Edge palette, which replaces the Feature Selection command and lets you interactively apply feathering to soften the edge of a selection, and expand and contract the selection.
In addition, a new Radius slider can often greatly improve the accuracy of your selection. The Refine Edges also lets you preview your selection over a variety of backgrounds. With the new Quick Selection brush, you simply brush on an object in your scene, and Photoshop automatically selects it.
Many other changes and improvements abound throughout the program. The Curves dialog provides a new Preset feature as well black-and-white point sliders. Be warned however, that in this beta, cursor display is a little buggy. Precise display is all the current version can manage.
This will be fixed by the time of the release version, but if you depend on precise cursor display for painting and retouching options, you may find that you need to go back to Photoshop CS2 for those features.
