If you think your Photoshop application is slow, think about what it was like to use Adobe Photoshop version 0.63 Beta. This article features a very humorous, 13-minute video by Krazy Ken from Computer Clan, in which he tries to edit several photos in the Photoshop that existed in 1988.
The photo editing was done on an old Macintosh with a 32-megahertz 68030 processor and 8 megabytes of RAM. Although you obviously won't find the modern tools that photographers now have at their disposal in Photoshop, and love, version 0.63 already had a respectable range of basic tools and functions for editing photos.
Things like blemishes, undo (one level), hue / saturation adjustment, levels adjustments and various filters.
Photoshop 0.63, codenamed Bond, was the second version of Photoshop to be released, after version 0.07 in January 1988. These first two versions were never distributed commercially.
That would not happen until the third iteration, version 0.87. In March 1989, v0.87 was bundled with a scanner from the company Barneyscan and distributed as Barneyscan XP.
