The headlines herald the 25th Birthday of the introduction of Photoshop, the photo editing software that almost everyone has heard about and many have used. Photoshop was released on Thursday February 19, 1990, 25 years ago. I, however, began painting electronically years earlier on the Chyron Chameleon Paint System.<\/p>\n

\"1986

1986 Mary Ahern working on the Chyron Chameleon at the Cablevision studios in Woodbury NY.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Chameleon was a digital painting & editing system complete with dedicated hardware & software aimed at the Broadcast TV & production industry.. Primitive by our current standards but tremendously advanced at that time in the mid-1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In order to sell a paint system in the \u201880\u2019s, since no one really understood the enormous creative possibilities of computer painting, I did demonstrations & lectures in order to sell this tremendously creative tool. It offered drawing tools & brushes, cut & paste, zoom, a removable hard drive, video outputs and 8 bits of color.<\/p>\n

I have made a very good living using Photoshop, amongst other digital imaging programs, but I was able to apply my Artist\u2019s vision first using the tablet & stylus of the Chameleon.<\/p>\n

So I wish Photoshop a very Happy 25th Birthday but they are the young kid on the block. I have been digitally painting for 30 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
