Before Photoshop, there was a Mac application called "Digital Darkroom", for the Mac only, by Silicon Beach Software. I was an tester for it. That was 1988. The first version of PS came out in 1990, my beta copy is dated 1989 (version .87)...and prior to PhotoShop (1989), it was called "BarneyScan" (believe it or not, actually it was licensed by BarneyScan), and before that it was called "ImagePro" (1988). I still have my original Digital Darkroom and Photoshop (as well as Aldus PhotoStyler) disks...probably worth putting them on eBay ;-) Personally, I don't use PS for much...I dust spot in it. I believe in using my scanner application to get the setpoints and tonal curves correct. I also re-size the image (without interpolating) in PS...so really PS is a lot of overkill for what I do, but all the scanner drivers and printer drivers I use, use it as a plug-in platform, so I'm kind of stuck with it in some version or another.
