The history of Photoshop
While you won’t find it printed on any calendar, 2005 marks a quiet anniversary for the program that you, and many other graphic designers, probably use the most.

Besides GUI, and fonts/Postscript, and maybe html, has there been a more revolutionary computer-related item than Photoshop?
