20-20

Beitrag von Paul »

Hi,
we can work with version 20 now, and I'm just starting to grasp all the possibilities of the placeholder-feature, with all the other workflow-enhancements.
Lately I found the handbook I got with my very first copy of PhotoLine, exactly 20 years ago! A neat little 52 page booklet with familiar images and a form in the back to report bugs and request features. The handbook nowadays contains 350 pages.
Since 1996, for me PL has developed from the occasional correction of scans to the main production tool in my printshop. Anything from businesscards to banners 0,90 x 10 metres and brochures.
Tip to the hat to the programmers. Thank you!
- Paul

That is awesome - would you mind if we use your manual photo for the PhotoLine page on Wikipedia? The information on Wikipedia is begging for an update, and should be less "product promotion", and more history and facts about PhotoLine.

Who else has interesting historic information to share about PhotoLine?

That's alright with me. Of course, the real copyright lies with Computerinsel, but I think they won't mind.

Ah, stupid me - you are correct. I will ask the Hubers. Perhaps they have other interesting historic materials and facts that could be useful.

Yes, that would be the correct way. If you want, and they don't mind, I could scan the entire booklet and mail it to you. Perhaps I could even dig up the original 1.44" disk, but that's a bit of a search on my attic :? .

How long has PL been going? I keep pointing out to people in the Mac community that PL is very mature, absolutely rock solid, and ridiculously capable, and suggesting they give it a try rather than the latest whizz-bang super duper editor which is about to be upgraded to v.1.5 and (gasp!) will get layers!!!

But people are blinded by the "new". :(

I ask how long it has been going because for the Paul is talking here about 1996 -- just 20 years ago. I'm not sure how long I have been using PL for now but it seems to me that it has been going a full unit upgrade every two years or a long time. Was that so early on, or did the upgrades come faster back then?

Cheers, Geoff

There's a version history in Wikipdedia which should be fairly accurate.

Cheers

My first version appears to be 2.22 and the file is dated may 25, 1996. I can't start it up anymore (different computer system).

You can run it is an Atari ST emulator. One of the best is this SteemEngine: http://steem.atari.st/index.htm
Unfortunately, only for Windows. For Mac Hatari is available: http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/

Would be great to see some screenshots :-)

Just discovered that the Hubers made PhotoLine Atari edition freeware in 2012.
http://acp.atari.org/

Search for "PhotoLine" on that page: download link and registration information. Use one of the AtariST emulators to run it.
