Happy 20th Birthday Adobe Photoshop Elements!
Adobe Photoshop Elements was officially released 20 years ago today, on April 2, 2001.
Previously announced back in February of that year, Photoshop Elements took over from Photoshop LE and PhotoDeluxe as the go-to app for those people who didn't really need, or couldn't afford, the more fully-featured Photoshop.
There's obviously been some big changes between the original and current Photoshop Elements releases, the biggest one being there was originally no Organizer! That was rectified a couple of versions later when Photoshop Album was fully integrated into the Elements family (along with Premiere Elements). It's also interesting to see how the concept of today's Guided Edits were present in the original version, albeit under the guise of "Recipes".
Here's some links to a few archived marketing documents if anyone is interested in going back in time including the original press release, the feature highlights, and the brochure. If you really want to dig deep, there are also links to the user guide and a bunch of the original tutorials that came with version 1.0.

And I couldn't find any video of the original Photoshop Elements in action, but here's the official Guided Tour of Photoshop Elements 2.0 which perfectly captures the "marketing mood" of the day

From a poor, out-of-work wannabe graphic designer back in 2001 - thank you Adobe for giving me a much-needed helping hand when I first started out
