Hi Alexandre

Really ? In 1987, "digital photography"  didn't exist... We 
(photographers) were using color slides, and the contrast was a big 
problem... Easier with negative but useless for commercial use. Then, 
1990 years, some colleagues began using P$$op for editing and archiving 
their photos. It was the beginning.....

"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"
