John Knoll (left) and Thomas Knoll (right) the founding fathers of Photoshop We'll also be looking at who created the software, why they created it and why they were so awesome. We'll look at how the application excelled and improved with each new release in a detailed timeline of the software's release history.

The software has truly changed the world of photography and design but we mustn't forget, it took 25 years of constant improvements to get to this stage.īelow, we'll be exploring how Photoshop came to be what it is today.

Photoshop is now used by amateurs and professionals alike for everything from simple image retouching to website design.

If you rewind 25 years, Photoshop didn't exist at all and even when the application was initially created, it was a far-cry from the hugely powerful application that we know and love today. Today, Photoshop is an extremely powerful piece of software but it hasn't always been this way. Easy-to-use project files on the accompanying CD-ROM complete the package.Photoshop is arguably the most widely used, most popular and most powerful photo-editing software in the world and although many of today's Photoshop users probably can't imagine a world without the application, it's important to remember that Photoshop has only been around for a measly 25 years. You'll find step-by-step instructions for a variety of projects (from beginning to advanced) and review questions at the end of each chapter to reinforce what you've learned. Completely revised to cover all of Photoshop 7's new features (including the new Healing Brush, color correction commands, and file management tools), the book starts with an introductory tour of the software and then progresses on through 16 lessons, covering everything from Photoshop's interface to more complex topics like color management, Web graphics, and photo retouching.

Using the same style of self-paced instruction employed in the best-selling previous edition, this comprehensive set of Photoshop lessons provides everything you need to dive into the world of print, Web, and graphic design with Photoshop 7. Thus, when a new version of the popular program appears, designers tend to stand up and take notice-then get down to the serious business of learning about it! And for that, there's no better place to turn than the book from the people behind the product: Adobe Press' Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book. When it comes to digital imaging software, Adobe Photoshop has long set the standard.
