Adobe Photoshop 2.5 release date is wrong[edit]
The page, sadly much like much of the rest of the Internet, reports that Photoshop 2.5 was released in November of 1992. This is wrong. I was there. But some concrete evidence before personal reminiscence:
- The Photoshop 2.5 about box (https://fthmb.tqn.com/XY5bpaskghLdQWIVj1fSza-L_vE=/768x0/filters:no_upscale()/PS20th06-25_real-58b9b5fb3df78c353c2d0509.png) shows a copyright date range extending through 1993. If it shipped in 1992, the date would end in 1992.
- A review of MacWorld magazines (https://vintageapple.org/macworld/) shows no mention of Photoshop 2.5 until the May 1993 issue in a Mac Zone ad. Now, MacWorld in those days sent issues out with dates months ahead of their release, but not six months. The review of Photoshop 2.5 appears in the June 1993 issue and the star ratings section of the May issue still references Photoshop 2.0.1 as the most recent version.
So, November 1992 would seem firmly ruled out by this evidence.
Now, when did it ship? Since it was referenced in the May issue and the issues ran ahead of the calendar, we can limit the range of plausible dates to April 1993 as the latest possible date.
That said, my personal recollection calls for a February 1993 release.
Adobe's software releases — particularly of imaging products including Photoshop's initial release on February 19, 1990 — tended to arrive in mid-February because February was the end of the quarter and mid-February would be the latest a product could ship and book revenue.
Furthermore, there was a training event in a very cold Washington, D.C. that year at which the Macintosh engineering team was present along with the product management for both Mac and Windows. The presence of Windows product management shows that Adobe was ready to announce the product and since announcing the Windows product would effectively announce the Mac product as well and there was already a Mac product in market, we can conclude that the Mac version had shipped by that point. The presence of the Mac engineering team but not the Windows engineering team would indicate that the Mac version had been released but the Windows version, which trailed the Mac version, had not. The cold weather in D.C. would put this in a range from January 1993 to early March 1993. January seems too early given when mention first appears in MacWorld. March seems too late given Adobe's quarter boundaries. So, probably February 1993.
Definitely not November 1992. Adobe Respository of Ancient Knowledge (talk) 03:24, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
“Photoshop” as a verb[edit]
How does “photoshop” in “photoshop contest” act as a verb? It seems like it can solely act as an adjective and still make sense. 2605:A601:AAEA:8100:9CCF:9898:9384:BBBD (talk) 15:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Please update website on right panel from "photoshop.com" to "https://photoshop.adobe.com/" Bootnokka (talk) 04:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: The current website address is still correct. Navigating to it results in Adobe's product page for Photoshop. It doesn't make sense to change this from the product page to the web app. GSK (talk • edits) 05:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
