Raster graphics editor

**Aldus PhotoStyler** was a graphics software program developed by the Taiwanese company [Ulead](/source/Ulead_Systems). Released in June 1991 as the first 24 bit image editor for Windows, it was bought the same year by the [Aldus](/source/Aldus_Corporation) Prepress group.[1] Its main competition was [Adobe Photoshop](/source/Adobe_Photoshop).[2] Version 2.0 (late 1993)[3] introduced a new user interface and improved color calibration.[4] PhotoStyler SE - lacking some features of the version 2.0 - was bundled with scanners like [HP ScanJet](/source/HP_ScanJet).[5] The product disappeared from the Adobe product line after [Adobe](/source/Adobe_Systems) acquired Aldus in 1994.[6]
