Yes people, today is an important milestone for Adobe and digital creatives everywhere. Why? you ask. Well, today Adobe celebrates the 20th anniversary of Photoshop.

Photoshop, perhaps more than any other software package, has become a household name and has changed the way we work with images, especially over the past decade.

As we speak, people all around the world are wearing little blue party hats with little white ‘Ps’ written all over them, and apparently are taking the party to the street in many different way – check it out:

- In the US, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) will be hosting a special Photoshop 20th Anniversary celebration for over a thousand attendees in San Francisco at the Palace of the Fine Arts Theatre today. You can catch the live webcast here: www.photoshopuser.com/photoshop20th

-In Japan, Southeast Asia and throughout Europe in honour of the 20th anniversary, Adobe Germany will host a special 20-hour online marathon, featuring over 15 local Photoshop ‘gurus’ demonstrating their favourite tips and tricks live for Photoshop fans

- In India and France, digital imaging contests will be held to showcase the work of Photoshop users.

- A special Adobe TV broadcast will also air on the anniversary date at http://tv.adobe.com/go/photoshop-20th-anniversary, reuniting the original ‘Photoshop team’ for the first time in 18 years, to discuss their early work on the software and demonstrate Photoshop 1.0 on a rebuilt Macintosh computer.

So cheers to you Photoshop, and here’s to another 20 years.
