Photoshop celebrated its birthday by going back in time to its 90s incarnation

Adobe Photoshop has turned 25 – happy belated birthday Photoshop! To celebrate this momentous occasion, CreativeLive, who run live software training workshops online, asked eight Photoshop experts to try out the 1.0 version. Time has flown by, and Photoshop 1.0 looks ridiculous. It’s kind of like MS Paint and is akin watching a child or a grandparent trying to even switch on a computer, but backwards. Who knew that watching people try to add drop shadows to bacon and freaking out not being able to “undo” could be so entertaining.
