After meeting with Adobe, the company was so impressed that they offered a licensing deal. This was a great start to the software, but it would only get better from here. This was notable because it was the first image editing software released to the public. They worked out a deal with scanner company Barneyscan, who distributed 200 copies of Photoshop with purchases of their scanners. Before Adobe purchased the software, brothers Thomas and John tried to market the software as best as they could.
