Nov 06, 2009 I would click on the Photoshop Elements 8 download button at Adobe, and it kept downloading Premiere Elements 8.even after repeated tries and re-tries. In was not until the early hours of that morning (before dawn), when pressing the Photoshop Elements 8 button for the download got me the Photoshop Elements 8 file.
Expectations for Photoshop’s success were tempered by concerns over the capabilities of (PCs) in the early 1990s to run the program because it required more than most PCs came with or even, in some cases, than could be installed. Nevertheless, the software sold well, driving sales of newer PCs with more memory and becoming known as one of the first “killer apps” (an application that influences sales).
Photoshop became to many industries, including publishing, Web design, medicine, film, advertising, engineering, and architecture. In 1995 Adobe purchased the rights to Photoshop from the Knoll brothers for $34.5 million. The demand for Photoshop rose as computers improved and digital photography advanced. The program’s success spawned companies that produce add-ons designed specifically for Photoshop compatibility.
In 2003 Adobe included Photoshop in their Adobe Creative Suite, which bundled the program with Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat, and the next year it renamed the program Photoshop CS. Adobe Photoshop CS3, introduced in 2007, offers features that give users greater control over their digital images. For example, nondestructive editing allows the user to test editing strategies without altering the original picture. Another feature, advanced compositing, automatically aligns similar images to create a single representation out of several photographs.
Further, Photoshop offers an array of tools and colours to allow its users more creativity.
