Photoshop for Windows first version
Photoshop for Windows first version
Very cool! I installed the first release of Photoshop for Windows, which if I am not mistaken, was Photoshop 2.5. I installed it on my hot rod 33MHz 486 IBM 5160 PC/XT on Windows 3.1 in running in enhanced mode, and it is very fast and fun to play with having used pretty much every version to the present CS one.
Regards,
Mike

Nice! Photoshop 2.5 for Windows was the first version I ever used. When layers arrived in version 3 it was a godsend, but 2.5 was still very useful for its color correction tools and the cloning stamp. At home I still use 5.5, because with effects, layers, and multiple undos, it does everything I need.
What amazes me is that Photoshop 1.0 can run directly off an 800KB floppy disk. At work I was set up with Photoshop CC 2016, which requires several gigabytes to install. The growth in program size has far exceeded the growth in functionality over the past few decades.
