Description: "I made that icon. Sorry if you don’t like it. It is 20 years old now, so you might want to bear in mind the era it came from. It was intended as a 1 hour photo booth, similar to a Fotomat booth, which were a very common sight in the late 80′s when we were first developing Photoshop.

That image is a screen snapshot from ResEdit, the common resource editor at the time. Whether you like it or not, it’s much more representative of a 'photo shop' than the eyeball icon that Adobe finally chose." —John Knoll
