Beginning his career as New Yorks hottest DJ, Mark Ronson has just produced his fourth album UPTOWN SPECIAL. UPTOWN SPECIAL Nelson George, November 2. Uptown Special, is a tale of several cities, a wide range of collaborators, and a road trip deep into the American South. However, the story of Ronsons latest project really starts back when he was New Yorks hottest DJ. In the late 1. 99. New York club scene was percolating with booming hip hop and glitzy R B. In those days before he emerged as a multi talented musical force, Ronson mannaed the turntables of many great parties. This mix of vintage R B and pop with contemporary hip hop is what made Ronson a star DJ. Uptown Special has all the flavor of a night with Mark rocking the ones and twos with funk, soul, and psychedelic pop in a style that echoes classic productions by Quincy Jones and Steely Dan, and funneled through its creators sophisticated understanding of arrangement and melody. The first single, Uptown Funk, features GRAMMY award winning superstar Bruno Mars on vocals and drums, who sings with passion and plays drums with fire that will bring funk back on the radio. Though Ronson is now based out of London, most of Uptown Special was recorded in the United States with stops in Los Angeles, Memphis and Mississippi. Most of the music was recorded with live musicians with Mark anchoring the sessions on guitar, while surrounded by a complimentary mix of gifted young players and R B vets. Several musicians, who worked with Mark on his historic production of Amy Winehouses multi platinum Back To Black and his own breakthrough album, 2. Version, rejoined him for this album, including drummer Homer Steinweiss, bassist Nick Movshan and guitarist Tommy Brenneck. Also making guest appearances on Uptown Special are bassist Willie Weekswho played on Stevie Wonders classic Innervisions guitarist Carlos Alomar who created the familiar guitar riff on David Bowies Fame and drummer Steve Jordan member of the John Mayer Trio.

Photoshop has been a part of every web designers life since they picked up their first mouse. On February 1. 0th, 2. Photoshop turns twenty. To mark this anniversary, weve come up with an article that takes you through the evolution of Photoshop from its modest beginnings as a bundled program sold with scanners to its current version. For each version and major feature listed, we couldnt help but think did Photoshop ever exist without that feature. Some of the minor details are fun too, such as the one liner Easter Eggs that Photoshop developers hid in some versions and the fact that the most current versions of Adobe Photoshop CS are equipped with anti counterfeiting measures for multiple world currencies. Please join us in thanking the Knolls and Adobe for making all of our lives more awesome, every day. Photoshop Origins. One of the most impressive things about the company is the fact that one gifted family, consisting of an engineering prof, a PHD engineering student, and a talented special effects whiz working at Industrial Light and Magic came up with the core idea of Photoshop. Thomas Knoll, the PHD student, is still heavily involved with Photoshop years later. Glen Knoll was a college professor with two sons and two hobbies computers and photography. He had a darkroom in his basement, and an Apple II Plus that he was allowed to bring home from work. Thomas Knoll adopted his fathers photography habit throughout high school, while his brother, John Knoll, purchased one of the first Macs available to the public. Fast forward to 1. Thomas Knoll was a PHD student studying Engineering at the University of Michigan. His brother was working at Industrial Light and Magic. Thomas Knoll wrote a subroutine for a program to translate monochrome images on his monitor to grayscale. The successful subroutine led Knoll to create more and very soon he had a number of processes for achieving photographic effects on digital images. After his brother John saw what Thomas was doing, he recommended that Thomas turn what he was doing into a full featured image editor. The combination of Thomas programming abilities with Johns pragmatic design background led to a collaboration between the two brothers to develop more processes and improve on the initial application. Even though the process led to interruption in Thomas thesis work, the brothers released Image Pro in 1. John suggested that they begin to sell Image Pro as an application. Within six months, the brothers had a partnership with a company that manufactured scanners, Barneyscan. They purchased 2. They called on Supermac and Aldus, but were turned away at both, a move that Aldus would come to seriously regret. Shortly after, the Knoll brothers struck gold when they won over Adobe management with their product, and formed a licensing partnership with Adobe that was to launch their software and Adobe into the stratosphere. In February of 1. Adobe 1. 0 was released. This video, shot in January of 2. John Knoll about the early days of Photoshop Photoshop Through the Years Version Changes. Weve included major changes within each version and some minor ones. This is meant to be a fun stroll down memory lane rather than a complete version catalogue. If you have a particular version change that got your hackles up or a feature that youd to mention, feel free to add it to the comments section. Photoshop 1. 0. John Knoll, Thomas brother, wrote special effects for the program which were frowned upon by Adobe staff as being too gimmicky. Thomas and John found a way to sneak them into Photoshop as plugins, giving rise to what is now a huge cottage industry in add ons to the popular program. John and Adobe staff constantly pushed Thomas to make improvements until the final product shipped. The first version of the Photoshop splash screen features just four Photoshop programmers. In subsequent versions, more and more names are added to the list. In more recent versions, a limited number of Adobe VIPs appear in the splash screen. Photoshop 2. 0. Photoshop 2. Path feature, which allowed users to trim around an object easily and to save that path for future use. This feature was added by a second engineer, Mark Hamburg, that Adobe hired to work on the application. Up until 2. 0, Thomas Knoll was the only engineer working on it. Adobe called Mark the Path Man. Illustrator files, support for CMYK colour which led to widespread Photoshop adoption by the printing industry, and the Pen. Photoshop 2. 0 also required 4 megabytes of RAM to run rather than 2, which really helped program stability. Photoshop 2. 5, released in 1. Windows operating systems. The code had to be completely changed in order to accomplish this goal which meant that the first effort was slow going. The initial Windows release had a memory bug, a bug which actually saw Mark Hamburg offer to make house calls. The patched version was released as 2. Filters got their own menu in 2. The workspace shot below is of Photoshop 2. Mac. 1. 99. 4 Photoshop 3. The big story for Adobe Photoshop 3. Layers were and are a lifesaver for any marginally complex design. Prior to their introduction, designers would save different versions of designs so that they could go back and grab them if needed layers made this practice redundant. Layers are individual slices of the image that go together to make the final sandwich of the image. Different images, such as those used in the image above in the 3. Thomas Knoll, the original creator of the program, was responsible for their development. Other engineers made improvements in the programs performance with Power Mac chips and bringing the Windows version up to the same level as the Mac version. Tabbed palettes also had their debut in 3. Adobe engineers included Adobe Transient Witticisms ATW with this version. They were little Easter Egg funny one liners that would appear only when you pressed obscure combinations of keys. Photoshop 4. 0. Adjustment layers and macros were the two most notable features of Photoshop 4. Adjustment layers allow the designer to apply one effect to a group of layers. Macros, or actions in Photoshop speak, allow you to map a series of commands to one command. This allows you to perform the same operation in much less time if you have a bunch of images to work on. The most important change to 4. Adobe products, a feature which Adobe has stayed consistent with right up to present day incarnations of the program. This meant a less steep learning curve for Adobe products, a blessing for those who got their start with Photoshop 4. Loyal users of Photoshop were not amused with the redesign, the common question from the community being Why did you break Photoshop. Photoshop 5. 0. The two most important features released with 5. History palette. Previous versions of Photoshop allowed text to be added, but the fuzzy rasterized type didnt make for pretty magazine mastheads or decent web menus. This was a huge step forward. Multiple undos via the History palette were very helpful, especially since designers were starting to use the new Adobe tools for increasingly complex designs. Color Management made its debut with 5. Like other major changes to Photoshop, it was greeted with equal parts of praise and condemnation. It allowed colors to be managed natively within the application rather than relying on third party tools that had been used, a huge improvement.
