The name of the graphics processing application of the most phenomenal, Adobe Photoshop, may be very familiar to us gan. But who knows about the names behind its creation?
You could say, almost all creative people in the world using Adobe Photoshop. But unfortunately many do not know the founder, Thomas Knoll and John Knoll. Reasonable indeed, considering that since its debut launch in early 1990, just as these are their names appeared in several design books, award books, or magazines annual graphic design. The application is created (Adobe Photoshop, red) has a lot to change the attitude and the creative process of designers. Starting from use until an application for photo manipulation movies manipulation.
Study sacrificed for the sake of photoshopIt began in 1987 when Thomas Knoll, a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan, United States (U.S.), buy 'Apple Mac Plus' latest work to support his thesis. He was surprised when he bought the computer was not able to display grayscale-quality color images on monochrome monitors. Then with the style of a hacker, Thomas ventured to make my own code to correct these deficiencies.
Assisted by his brother, John Knoll, Thomas was ready for action. Experience in Oscar 1989 (best visual effects category in the movie 'The Abyss'), as well as participation in the movie 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek', to convince Thomas to be able to change the computer. He believes that the software is being created is very similar to that used at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic), where John worked. Since then Thomas began seriously developing his first software image, which is then born with the name "Display".
For more serious work on the program, Thomas took a six-month study leave and invited John to work together to sell this in a more professional applications. In the process, they encounter various challenges winding. One of the most painful is when they considered the work did not sell. However, the Knoll brothers never broke. They even managed to develop an innovative method later known as the 'plug-ins'. Precisely a feature to align the 'tones', 'hue & saturation', as well as some other pictures of balance control.
Debut birth of Adobe PhotoshopWhen developing the "Display" to be getting better, the result would appear with the name "ImagePro". Finally, in 1988, the company scanner Barneyscan interested to buy it as software built scanner. Well, that's when the name was born Photoshop. But unfortunately, this young Photoshop only made 200 copies only, so not known to the public at large. Do not want to be contented hearts, they tried to seek his fortune in the industrial area famous, 'Silicon Valley'.
Step by step, fortune began to take sides. They succeeded in demonstrating the superiority Photoshop program to Apple Computer Inc. and Adobe. As a result, the Adobe smitten and immediately purchase a license for that program. Then the parties agreed to release Adobe Adobe Photoshop 1.0 in February 1990. The program is a capacity equal to a piece of floppy disk (1.4 Mb) that can only be operated for air-platform Macintosh computers.
Penetrated into the WindowsAfter that Adobe Photoshop began to record history to become one of the masterpieces in the world of information technology. Next, Adobe Photoshop 2.0 was released in June 1991 which again can only be operated under the Macintosh platform. Along with its development, Windows assessed began to dominate the computer market. Then in 1992 was launched Adobe Photoshop Version 2.5, the first time can be operated to Windows.
In November 1993, re-launched version 2.5.1 but this time Windows is not included. New in Version 3.0 was launched back in 1994 for Macintosh & Windows. Similarly, version 4.0 (1996), version 4.0.1 (1997), version 5.0 (1998), version 5.0.1 (1999), version 5.5 (1999), version 6.0 (2000), version 6.0.1 (2001) , version 7 (2002), version 7.0.1 (2002). 8.0/CS version (2003), followed by CS 2 (2005), CS 3 (2007), CS 4 (2008), and most recently the CS5 (2010).
Currently Thomas and John Knoll worked at Adobe. If you look, their name is always displayed when you open the application Adobe Photoshop software. While continuing to develop Photoshop, John is still busy with his profession as a Visual Effects Supervisor at ILM. Some of the famous sci-fi movies ever dealt with John, among others:
