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

Photoshop didn’t come out until 1990. Before that we used complete bullshit.

Even the early versions of Photoshop didn’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? 😅

I have PTSD about this.

Yep 👍🏼

We called photoshop the “darkroom” 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 didn’t have filename extensions.

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