it still does not have adjustment layers, something photoshop had in
1996, making it still useless to any serious editing.


Photoshop was eight bits per channel until CS, IIRC...


CS was 32 vs 64 bits for addressing of memory, which was required for
having more total RAM for larger images.

Having 16 bit channels dates from November 1992 (version 2.5):

Know that! The problem was lack of 16bit support for the plugins, which
is crucial for working with Photoshop the Photoshop way.
