Folks,

It's recently come to light that Photoshop 1.0 was shipped on (or about) Feb 19, 1990. Ironically, the same day in Feb that Camera Raw 1.0 shipped and Lightroom 1.0 shipped.

:~)

It's comforting to realize that I am older than Photoshop. I think you are, too, Jeff.

I hadn't known about the video until I read the artical, but found it great to watch!

Scroll down and click on the movie. It's big at about 49MB, but was a blast to watch. And when your done with that, look through Jeff's slideshow. I guess it will have to do until we get the rest if the LLVJ#17

KeithR, thanks for posting that link. Not only was the Lightroom in Antartica video great fun to watch, Jeff's Iceberg Graveyard slideshow is FANTASTIC!

Yes it was fantastic. To bad the Antartica we saw will not be the one on the rest of the LLVJ#17. It will be from the '05 excursion. Three years in the making! This should be a blockbuster!

Image 19 looks like the entrance to the Viking's version of Hell!

Feb. 19 being also the birthday of Ernest Meissonier, French painter/sculptor
An incredible date indeed.

Or the 21st or according to one source the 20th. No mention of the 19th. Sorry.

One day too early or it would have been Ansel Adams birthday as well.

Copernicus was born on February 19. He didn't have a camera, but he certainly worked with big glass.

It was no coincidence, but instead a marketing ploy.

Yeah, well considering it was only Jan 3rd (see Thomas' email) that we discovered when PS 1.0 shipped, I rather doubt that "plot" aspect...

personally I like the conspircy theory because maybe we can get another national holiday commemorating the fact and call it Adobe Day.
