What is Adobe Photoshop?

Adobe Photoshop is a stunning combination of photo editing, graphic designing, and digital illustration. It is one of the innovative software belonging to the 20th century developed by Adobe. It requires the latest versions of devices, as it offers enthusiastic services for digital photography.

A highly pack of tools for adjusting color tones, adding texture, filters, text, and a lot of other amazing enhancements. 

Adobe Photoshop is designed for editing images, graphical designing, and manipulating digital images. Two American brothers Thomas and John Knoll were the developers of this stunning app that was released in 1987 and Adobe Systems Incorporated purchased its distribution license in 1988. Adobe at the time of purchase had the expectations that it would be familiar very soon, but the expectations were dumped because of the low functionality of PCs in the early 1990s. 

With the addition of new PCs with required memory, the app became one of the important parts for diverse industries such as publishing, movie making, medicine, web designing, architecture, engineering, advertising, and so on. Finally, Adobe acquired Photoshop completely in 1995 while paying $34.5 million to the Knoll brothers.
