Photoshop was published and developed by Adobe Systems. It is an editing program that has led to much greater photographic ability for people. Photoshop was created in February 20, 1987 when PhD student Tom Knoll who was studying Engineering at the University of Michigan, realized that his Mac Plus failed to display gray-scale images on its 1-bit black and white display (Musngi). He immediately began coding a program that would once and for all solve his issue. John Knoll, Tom's brother, who was in charge of the special effects department for Industrial Light and Magic recommended that it be developed into a full image editing program after he saw and gained interest in what Tom was doing (Kmahesh). The software was used to display gray scale images on a monochrome display(Musngi). Knoll decided to called it ‘Display.’ We could now consider Display as the unofficial father of our beloved Photoshop (Musngi). The Knoll brothers renamed Display, Image-Pro. With Thomas' programming abilities and John's pragmatic design background, the brother's developed more processes and improved the initial application, taking Image-Pro even further. The process led to interruptions and delays in the thesis work Thomas had, but nonetheless, they released Image-Pro in 1988.
Once released, John suggest that they should begin selling Image-Pro as an application. With the many advanced features for displaying images that this program had, it was not very difficult for the brothers to sell it commercially. This being the reason why Image-Pro was changed to "Photoshop." Thomas managed to sell it to a scanner company names, Barneyscan. Two-hundred copies of the programs were purchased to ship with their scanners.
Thomas and John approached many compan...

This trend also found roots in the emergence of photographic technology, originally developed in the early 1800’s and advanced continuously until the present. During this time, artists and photographers suddenly found that they could much more easily captur...
Susan Sontag discusses the reality of the modern person’s addiction with “needing to have reality confirmed” by photos. Sontag says “we accept it as the camera records it” then goes to say “this is the opposite of understanding.” I agree with her wholeheartedly, as accepting photos as they are limits ones understanding of the world. The trust in photography led to the rise of pictures hoaxes, in which people take pictures out of context and assign it a new background; as well as Photoshop, which becomes increasingly popular as the years go by. Photoshop allows one to manipulate a photo to portray what they desire it to.

Lately it has shown that the images changed or “improved” by Photoshop has caused harm amongst our society. There has to be something down about this problem before other people get hurt. The Federal Government has to do its duty and stop this harm by issuing laws limiting the use of Photoshop. Photoshop can come in quite handy and it is useful when trying to perfect an image. Architects, fashion designers, web designers all use Photoshop in their careers daily but there is a line and some people cross it.
Many do not consider where images they see daily come from. A person can see thousands of different designs in their daily lives; these designs vary on where they are placed. A design on a shirt, an image on a billboard, or even the cover of a magazine all share something in common with one another. These items all had once been on the computer screen or on a piece of paper, designed by an artist known as a graphic designer. Graphic design is a steadily growing occupation in this day as the media has a need for original and creative designs on things like packaging or the covers of magazines. This occupation has grown over the years but still shares the basic components it once started with. Despite these tremendous amounts of growth,
The idea for photographing came around in 1814 when Joseph Niépce wanted an image of his son before he left for war. He succeeded in making the first camera in 1827, but the camera needed at least eight hours to produce one picture. Parisian Louis Daguerre invented the next kind of camera in 1839, who worked with Niépce for four years. His camera only needed fifteen to thirty minutes to produce a picture. Both Niécpe’s and Daguerre’s cameras made pictues on metal plates. In the same year Daguerre made his camera, an Englishman by the name of William Henry Fox Talbot made the first camera that photographed pictures on paper. The camera printed a reverse picture onto a negative and chemicals were needed to produce the photo up right. In 1861, color film came along and pictures were produced with color instead of being just black and white. James Clerk Maxwell is credited with coming up with color film, after he took the ...
