20 years ago, Thomas and John Knoll licensed their pixel-imaging program that was originally called Display, with Adobe to create Photoshop.  The original software only displayed grayscale images on a black-and-white monitor and was given processing capabilities.    The original Photoshop 1.0 was for the Mac, and there were few key features, such as curves, levels, and a clone tool.  On February 19, 1990 the first version of Photoshop was shipped to customers.

Pentax, a leading supplier of innovative high-technology optical products, announced strangely 24 hours after the end of PMA the launch of the Pentax Optio W90.  The camera is said to be water, shock, and cold proof; and more importantly, it has two flashes.  There is one traditional flash above the camera lens, but then a second flash that is a ring around the lens.  Pentax announced the camera after PMA, even though they showcased their products at the event.  A strange marketing move by the company, though they are still getting attention from the announcement.

Photo editing software Aperture 3 was released by Apple just about two weeks ago, but customers are already complaining of problems.  The main issue customers are having is with the memory management device within the software.  As a result of the problem, as soon as the program is launched, the swap disk file size balloon comes up.  This means that the software has a memory leak that takes up most of the memory from a computer's hard drive.
