On 19 February 1990, a software program was shipped that would shape creative workflows for three and a half decades. Adobe Photoshop was born.
The program made image editing tools previously available only to large companies much more accessible, and within a couple of years 'Photoshop' was being used as a verb. It's remained the industry-standard tool for digital art and image manipulation ever since (also see our history of Photoshop). But could it be improved?
