A2: Local Success, 19 Years Later
Back in February of 2000, Derrick Story marked the 10-year anniversary of Adobe’s Photoshop by tracing its development history, starting in an Ann Arbor basement. Created about twenty years ago by Thomas and John Knoll, Photoshop has come a long way since Thomas gave himself six months to finish a beta version of ImagePro. Story chronicles the setbacks, tough decisions, and rejection suffered by the Knoll brothers before Photoshop 1.0 was finally shipped by Adobe in February 1990. [Source]
