John Knoll released Photoshop 20 years ago next month with his brother, Thomas. It changed the world of graphics and digital photography in a big way. Here's the full interview, done in a hallway of Lucasfilms' Industrial Light and Magic, where Knoll now works (he does special effects on films, including on Avatar).

  • Nice...seems really down to earth too. Must have been cool walking the halls of ILM with Thomas Knoll and Guy Kawasaki!

  • I waited 20 years to meet Thomas Knoll. I was a Photoshop 1.0 user and always wanted to meet the guys who made it.
