I work as a creative director, my anger about this is decades of suffering what I consider substandard tools.

We definitely do care about our computing power being used to the fullest of it's potential. This is why some of us even do 2D static work in After Effects now because its faster and uses more of the machines power than PS.

Well I apologize for my presumption. Showing a little of my own frustration as a former engineer, now product person, I suppose.

Photoshop developer asking: what examples can you give of 2D/static work that performs better in AE over Ps? I'm very curious about your workflow now...
