Completely legal! April Fool’s? Not so much.
- The good news: It runs great in just 2MB of memory on an 8MHz machine.
- The bad news: The version is 23 years old & requires use of a compiler.
According to CNET,
The Computer History Museum has made the source code for Photoshop 1.0.1 into an exhibit that lets the public, or at least programmers, appreciate the inner workings of the historic software.
The museum also published the Photoshop 1.0 user guide and tutorial documentation.
Enjoy!
There you go again, Adobe- FORCING us to buy a compiler. I’m moving to Aldus products.

+1
More bad news: the museum has a EULA for the *exhibit.*
Hmm, that sounds like it could be a chunk of work… What do you think John, is it better trying to get that “antique” version working – or waiting for Photoshop CS17?
Hopefully it won’t be too long to wait. 🙂
When Is Adobe Photoshop CS17 Coming Out?
[Heh. See also “Psst–wanna see Photoshop 15?” –J.]
I have been looking into Photoshop lately and was wondering what would be the best first step for a beginner such as myself?
Hi Giovanni,
For a beginner you could download the free trial from Adobe (runs for 30 days), and then step through a good Photoshop CS6 primer/tutorial, and that should help you get started on the right foot.
Hope this helps!

Heh…nice one! I hope the 1.0.1 version will work on my computer…I don’t need it, but haven’t seen it for years! 🙂 Thanks for sharing
