Oh my god. The demo video using the super-early version of Photoshop just taught me several things the lasso and magic wand tools can do in combo that I’ve never known, despite a lot of time using them over the years.
It's hilarious to see all the comments on the video[0] exclaiming at how advanced Photoshop 1.0 was. Indeed, it was a huge advancement in graphics editing at the time, and computers "back then" were capable of quite a lot of stuff. I think if everyone got stuck using a desktop computer from the 90's for a while they'd realize just how little has changed since then (or how much has been just slight iteration) :)
It’s truly depressing that almost none of the reasons that 512MB is no longer a luxurious amount of memory have to do with software being more capable and useful than it used to be.
