It’s hard to talk about how image editing has changed without sounding old.
Just like it’s hard to describe how video was edited back before non-linear editing, if you’re a graphic artist, designer, animator, photographer, video editor under the age of 30, it’s hard to describe life before Photoshop, the image editing software developed and manufactured by Adobe.
Suffice it to say that both, along with Adobe After Effects, revolutionized how image editing is done, whether you’re talking about still images, animation or video editing. Suddenly, all three could be manipulated together. And this all happened in the mainstream world of local television in the late 1980s, early ’90s.
“It’s the tool we put out into the world that’s had the broadest impact,” says Alex Amado, Adobe’s senior director of creative and media.
“It’s used in the design process of pretty much everything we see and touch these days — every ad you’ve reviewed, all the photography in every publication, everything from logos on T-shirts to billboards, industrial design and the movies.”
To celebrate Photoshop’s 25th birthday, Adobe created this video tribute.
