Photoshop Turns 21: We Take a Look Back

27.02.2011

During May, 1998, Adobe shipped Photoshop 5.0, known as Strange Cargo while in development. With it came such important features as the magnetic lasso, editable type, and the history panel.

The History Panel allowed the user to undo an action multiple times to reach an earlier state--handy stuff!

1999's version 5.5 release saw the addition of Save For Web, a feature added specifically to format images for the Web, resulting in better compression.
