Even before that if you had a Mac. I think first developed in the late 80s but not sure.

Photoshop didnโ€™t come out until 1990. Before that we used complete bullshit.

Even the early versions of Photoshop didnโ€™t have layers or even undo. We had to save multiple versions of files and then mash them together to make effects. I had portable hard drives full of numbered working versions of files that I was editing.

Did you enjoy font management as much as I did? ๐Ÿ˜…

I have PTSD about this.

We called photoshop the โ€œdarkroomโ€ back then.

Not gonna lie, even the early versions of Photoshop weren't great. They were just miles above anyone trying to compete.

The first one I ever used was version 2.5. Most of my archived files are unreadable now because they didnโ€™t have filename extensions.

I can't imagine the acrobatics the PSD file format has gone through over the years.
