Well, Photoshop wouldn't be all that hot with 1-bit video... Creating a  
software Mac Emulator is hard enough, emulating 32-bit Quickdraw and going to  
PostScript at faster than glacial speeds is probably a major pain in butt.   
There are several companies working night and day to come out with a good  
photo-retouching app, so by the time ARD gets even a color beta out that could  
run Photoshop, there will be several native apps that you would probably rather  
use.  I think ARD should concentrate on printing and getting more complete  
emulation to run all those apps that we probably won't see on NeXTstep for a  
while.
