Photoshop was not really created by design.
It came about after Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan created a program to display grayscale images on a monochrome monitor which at the time was called 'Display'.
Thomas' brother John, who worked at Industrial Light & Magic (a motion picture visual effect company) saw the program and recommended that he turn it into an image editing program. They worked together on the program, which they renamed 'ImagePro'.
It was later renamed Photoshop when they contracted with a scanner company (Barneyscan) that would distribute copies of the program with their slide scanner.
The Knoll brothers later had the opportunity to demonstrate their program to Adobe in September 1988, who loved it. A licensing deal was made soon after and Photoshop 1.0 was shipped in February 1990 after 10 months in development.

∙ 12y agoIn 1987, a PhD student (Thomas Knoll), began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display greyscale images on a monochrome display. He called the program Display and later caught his brothers attention. John Knoll an recommended Thomas turn it into a fully-fledged image editing program. Thomas took a six month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program, which by this time had been renamed ImagePro.
Later Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped this way.
During this time, John gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe.
Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988.
Photoshop 1.0 was released in 1990 exclusively for Macintosh.
Adobe Photoshop wasnt released for windows until 1993 with the 2.5 version. Today Adobe is currently up to Photoshop CS5
