I don't think the Adobe software was called PhotoShop, but as far as I know it was the grandfather of that software. I did some of the product information work myself, and did some resizing and touch up on some of the pics of the new SL that we got from Stuttgar in Adobe '88t. I remember our first Macs were Mac IIs with 8 megs of RAM We paid 10K each for those boxes. You could only do one page at a time in Quark and a 2 meg file was a challenge for Adobe '88, but it was magic at the time.
