You see, I can make jokes about pirating their software because not only do I personally dislike (hate) Adobe but I’ve never used their software for any of my work. Rant aside Adobe just launched a new video along with a blog post announcing some lesser known facts about CS6. Here are some of the neat facts that are in the video:
- 10,000 people hours to build Photoshop CS6
- 4.5 million lines of code
- 1,900 icons replaced along with 250 cursors
- 63% more features (how do you measure that?)
- 24 changes to the crop tool
- 2,563 beta testers
- The largest document size in Photoshop CS6 is 300,000 pixels
- 601 cases of beer were consumed
- It was finished on Friday the 13th and its internal codename was superstition (coincidence?)
- 500,000 downloads in the first week (I wasn’t one of them)
They created this video to celebrate reaching the 5 million fans mark on their Facebook page, this is of course something we celebrate now.
