Which version of Photoshop did you first use?

[willyfoo]

Was just recalling how far photoshop has progressed and how it made life so much easier with each release...

I remember using Corel PhotoPaint in Windows 3.1 before Photoshop 3.0 became the defacto standard...

 

[willyfoo]

Does anybody know which version of photoshop introduced text layers?? That was a real gift ... Was it PS4??

Perhaps we can compile the key features that were introduced with each version..

* PS4
Text Layers?

* PS5

* PS6

* PS7

* PS-CS
Shadows/Highlights
Match Color

 

[willyfoo]

Did anybody even recall ver 1 or 2???
I don't think I've ever seen it...

 

[ccplim]

Started with ver. 3. But till now, still do not know how to use all the advanced features :embrass:

 

[PandaOng]

If I still rem correctly, the History toolbar is introduced in Ver 6?

That will save us a bit of a problem with the amount of undo.

Willy, I think you miss out one version PS 5.5 which i learned all the functions 4 years ago. Now PS CS liao, time to learn something more especially I got my first digital camera ^_^

If i remember correctly, I started to use PS 4 when I am running Windows 98 with 8 MB ram. That time still run quite ok ^_^. Wah think of it already 10 year soon.

If I am not mistaken, these are the few 'new' features in PS7

File Browser
Healing brush
New paint engine
Art studio brushes
Pattern Maker
Liquify enhancements

I think there is also another 'basic' version known as Photoshop Elements right?

Sure, only if you are on the Mac... Windows version starts from v3.0

Anyway, here's how version 1.07 looks like on my SE a few years back... actual screen shots.

P.S. The app is in one of the old ADC developer resource CDs from the 90s.

I started with Photoshop 7 and I am still using it, I do use the Gimp a little as well, Still yet to get my hands on Photoshop 8 (CS)

You're wrong.

1993 Version 2.5.1 is released. One of the first apps to run native on a PowerPC chip. Also first release of Windows version (April, 93).

From Photoshop history
