Adobe Photoshop

Information Technology

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editing program first released by Adobe Inc. (then Adobe Systems) in 1990, created by brothers Thomas and John Knoll. It became the dominant professional image-editing software across photography, graphic design, film and advertising, so pervasive that "photoshop" entered common usage as a verb meaning to digitally alter an image, and it now anchors Adobe's subscription-based Creative Cloud suite.
