Adobe Photoshop Update For Mac

Note: it is possible, but very unclear, that one of the betas may have been shipped as '3.00'. From one source: 'Adobe Photoshop 3.0 was released to the public November 1994. The initial shipment of 3.0 CDs - the beta expiration code was still in the binaries. Adobe within days released a simple patch making the MAC & Win versions 3.0.1. This update fixes a problem with an expiration time constraint in Photoshop 3.0, preventing the application from being used prior to January 1, 1994 or after December 31, 1994.'
