Out of curiosity has Photoshop always had non-destructive abilities or has that been a more recent thing? I first started with CS5, self-taught, so before that time I have no knowledge of how it was.

Thanks!

Thanks, everyone! This is all super fascinating. I did read the wikipdia page, before coming here. But I figured I get a better understanding by asking actual users.

The first version I ever got was 3.0, which I was given by Adobe as a replacement for Aldus Photostyler, after Adobe acquired Aldus. I never installed it, though, as I was sent a copy of 4.0 mere days later.

My first graphics software was Tom Hudson's DEGAS for the Atari ST:

Tom went on to fame as one of the creators (along with Daniel Silva) of Autodesk's 3DStudio.

Thank you Jane for this link.

I am a Photoshop user since version 2.5 which was the first version for Windows. You can image I watched this video with much interest.

I had more or less forgotten how Spartan the interface was back then. But even so it was a spectacular program and I am glad I bought it even if cost me an arm and a leg at that time...

Thanks again.
