Hi Kostas, I don't know whether it was used for Star Wars, but it wasn't conceived in the sixties, it was created at the end of the eighties; here is what I've found : > In February 1990, Adobe revolutionised the photography and graphics design > industry with the initial release of Adobe PhotoShop. Until this time most > graphics were done in photo darkrooms and on huge drafting desks. This skill > was limited to a few highly trained professionals. > > With it¹s initial release Adobe found a winner and is today reflected on as > one of the ³Killer Apps² by most PC magazines. > > The history of PhotoShop begins in 1987 when Thomas Knoll a computer > programmer and his brother John Knoll a graphics artist at Industrial Light > and Magic, began writing graphics subroutines to handle image effects on a Mac > plus. > > > In 1989 the brothers combined these subroutines into a program called > ³ImagePro² and signed a deal with BarneyScan to bundle their program with > BarneyScan¹s slide scanner. Also in 1989, Adobe signed a deal with the Knoll > brothers to license what became known as PhotoShop. > > > Finally in 1990, PhotoShop version 1.0 is released in February of that year. > As the years went on the program continued to improve and get better, > providing key features that users found useful. > > Recently with the emergence of the web, Adobe has added features to PhotoShop > that make it the premier image-editing suite.
