i have a slow computer what was the first verion of photoshop that had layers
I think it was version 4 BUT you can only edit text layers in version 5
Photoshop Elements 2 is the earliest I know of, and the least resouce demanding,
Of course you could get GIMP2.2, which is almost as good, and free.
I like gimp 2.2 a little easier to use
