Thomas Knoll, a PhD student in computer vision at the University of Michigan, had written a program in 1987 to display and modify digital images. His brother John, working at the movie visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic, found it useful for editing photos, but it wasn’t intended to be a product. Thomas said, “We developed it originally for our own personal use…it was a lot a fun to do.”
Gradually the program, called “Display”, became more sophisticated. In the summer of 1988 they realized that it indeed could be a credible commercial product. They renamed it “Photoshop” and began to search for a company to distribute it. About 200 copies of version 0.87 were bundled by slide scanner manufacturer Barneyscan as “Barneyscan XP”.

Yeah, thanks for the clarification. I was thinking more on the lines of keeping the non-Abobe builds separate from even Abode owned version 1 betas, demos and pre-releases. Mainly because at the time they hadn't stitched up a deal with any company.
Like the quote from the CHM may be more suited for a page of non-Adobe builds. Imagine it could have been named "Barneyscan XP" - I'd love to see a copy of that
Yes, or vice versa.. actually it is ver. 0.87 that is missing as I could not remove the personalization registration... but I will upload it anyway. The try out is #3. Sorry for confusion..
Shouldn't Display v0.07 and Photoshop v0.87 be included in with (0.63 pre-Adobe) Photoshops ?
Also; Where is the "4th DL: Photoshop 1.0 Try Out", mentioned in the description above ?
A very exciting addition, I will have to give Display a go
Excellent find!
