What was Photoshop like in 1994?

As a graphic designer, I use Photoshop every single day. So it was exciting to find this clip recorded in 1994 from the educational tech program “Computer Chronicles“ in which they demonstrate the power of the new PowerPC and PowerMAC architecture from Macintosh. Using a Power Macintosh 6100 equipped with a PowerMAC CPU, Adobe rep John Peck demonstrates Photoshop Version 3.0, the first version of Photoshop with layers, an absolutely vital part of the program and a key moment in graphic design history! Despite being 30 years old, the program today is remarkably similar to how it looks here. Follow this link if you want to watch the full episode this clip comes from in higher quality:
