Yes, but I wish features like these would stop always showing a picture of the standard Corvette (as the ZR-1).

True, most people might not know it, but we all know it, it doesn't look as muscular and it just isn't the right picture.

Why don't they show the yellow '94 Z GM publicity pic or the red '95 Z?

Did they have Photoshop in the 1980's?

Terradactal version 1.0 Actually no but it was probablly done with a MAC in the late 80s.


And here is the confirmation and the link to the source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop

Early history
In 1987, Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. This program, called Display, caught the attention of his brother John Knoll, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program. Thomas took a six month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program, which had been renamed ImagePro.[1] Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a "total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped" this way.[2]

During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe. Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988.[1] While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing program code. Photoshop 1.0 was released in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively.[3]
