Happy Birthday Photoshop!

Photoshop, the tool that is absolutely essential for professional photographers, reaches an unbelievable 20 years old! I first started using Photoshop on version 4, and I think we are now on version 9, so I have seen many of the great changes that have been put into place over the years - and I couldn't live without it. I recall attending a 'how to' session on the program once where the expert asked how many people were using Photoshop and a 100% put there hands up, and he then asked how many had paid for it legitimately and only about 20% responded whilst the rest looked very sheepish. At that stage I was able to put my hand up, but will freely admit that my first copy was bootleg, and I think that is how many got hooked on the essential that it has become. Now that "to be Photoshopped" has entered common English it is difficult to imagine how it can be improved but I feel sure that Adobe will do something to keep us buying!
