Talking about Adobe Photoshop in terms of design is like talking about God. I don't know if it happened to you, but the more things I discover about the application and the more I experiment with it, the more it hooks me and encourages me to tinker and understand it. Today I think I have gone a little crazy, but I have an excuse: It's Adobe Photoshop's birthday! Neither more nor less than 25 years… You have to see how time passes.
The application was developed by a student named Thomas knoll which originally had the objective of manipulating grayscale images and being used on monochrome screens. Before long, his brother John was surprised by his idea and soon encouraged him to turn the program into a photo editor on a larger scale. It was around the year 1988 when Thomas left his studies and decided to dedicate himself completely to the application with the help and support of his brother. At first they would call it ImagePro, but the name was already being used so in the end they called it Photoshop and an agreement was reached with the creator of scanners Barneyscan for the distribution of copies. Two hundred copies were distributed in the first run. During this time John traveled to Silicon Valley to demonstrate the program to Apple engineers and Russel Brown, Adobe's art director. They were shocked by the proposal and immediately bought the license to launch Adobe Photoshop in September 1988. In 1990 version 1.0 exclusively for the Macintosh was released. To this day they have launched more than 20 versions and has become the best-selling graphic design application worldwide.
Today it has been a quarter of a century since that happened, And what better way to celebrate it than by doing a kind of compilation in a big way with more than 15.000 free resources and exercises? In addition, I have also included some books that may be very interesting for all of you with a link to the place of purchase. You already know that if you have any problem when accessing the content, you just have to leave us a comment. Enjoy it!
