If photographers or professional designers use an image editing program, it is most likely that the program is Photoshop. Nevertheless, Photoshop is facing two potential drawbacks, which are its cost and its complexity. Adobe discovered that many digital imaging users needed something with the elemental power of Photoshop and adequate user-friendly features. Due to the explosion in the digital camera market, the image editors of the new generation required a new product. This need ultimately without an iota of doubt gave rise to the creation of Photoshop Element by Adobe. The original creators of of this amazing image editing platform are two brothers John Knoll and Thomas Knoll.
This software was first created in 1988, after which they partnered with the Adobe team, and they release Adobe Photoshop 1.0. Years after their first release, Adobe made Photoshop Elements updates on the software and produced many other excellent versions.
