My first experience with photoshop was with version 4 and later 5 on the machine of an friend. I used Autodesk Animator before but photoshop was a game changer. Specially when the Texttool was upgraded to allow editing of text once you wrote it and layers to compose and recompose.
Time goes bye so fast and the young couldn’t even imagine what technology was like in the old days and what made the nerd happy … now EVERYTHING is so professional.
PS: Stop bloating Photoshop… dedicated tools, please! ;-)
