Step-By-Step: Find Software Easter Eggs

By Stan Miastkowski, PCW Print Feb 27, 2003 1:00 AM

Adobe Photoshop 6.0: Venus in Furs

Every new version of software has an internal code name while it's under development. In the case of Adobe Photoshop version 6.0, the moniker was "Venus in Furs." The illustration of Venus (in feline form) is still there, and relatively easy to access. But there's more in this two-part Easter egg: You can also read dozens of "secret messages" from the development staff team that scroll below the cat illustration.

To see the cat:

Open Photoshop 6.0.
Press and hold Ctrl-Alt.
Drop down the Help menu and click About Photoshop.

To see the secret messages:

Follow the steps above to access the cat.
Wait a few seconds for the credits below the cat illustration to start scrolling.
Press and hold down Alt.
Click the cat's big eye.
Press and hold down Ctrl.
Release Alt.
