Aug 20 (Reuters) - Photoshop maker Adobe's (ADBE.O) co-founder John
Warnock died on Saturday aged 82, the company said in a statement
early on Sunday.

The cause of his death was not disclosed.

"It is a sad day for the Adobe community and the industry for which
he has been an inspiration for decades," Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen
said in an email sent to employees.

Warnock co-founded Adobe in 1982 with Charles Geschke. He retired as
CEO in 2000 and was chairman of the board, a position he shared with
Geschke, until 2017.
