The article explores the impact of Photoshop 1.0, developed by Thomas Knoll, on computing and creativity. It discusses how early software development often emerged from small teams or individuals, revealing a pattern where transformative technologies are hard to predict but often discovered through incremental steps. The author argues that we may be at a similar turning point with generative AI, opening new possibilities in software engineering and beyond.

Adobe has launched a beta version of Photoshop for Android, offering a range of tools from the desktop version, including generative AI features. The app is free to use during the beta period and includes tutorials for new users, making it more comprehensive than previous mobile attempts. While it showcases advanced capabilities, it competes with increasingly common features found in other mobile editing apps.
