：Photoshop CS真正意义上在核心功能上实现了对16位图像深度编辑的支持，包括图层、笔刷、文字和滤镜。这对于需要处理高质量图像的专业用户来说是巨大的福音，意味着在更宽的色彩空间中可以进行更无损、更精细的图像编辑。 Adobe Photoshop CS 8
Photoshop CS shipped with a plugin called Camera Raw 1.0, which supported raw files from roughly 10 cameras (Canon D30/D60, Nikon D100, etc.). It allowed non-destructive adjustments of white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpening before demosaicing.

然而，当面对一些特别耗费资源的任务时，性能瓶颈依然存在。例如，有评测指出，应用新引入的“镜头模糊”滤镜时，即便是在1GHz的PC上处理15MB的测试图片，速度也显得很慢。同样，新版的文件浏览器在管理超过1000张图片的庞大图库时，也显得不够敏捷。
