I wouldn't be surprised if the code in photoshop for applying filters is
actually handcoded assembly. Maybe not.
Still, C# could definitely handle something like photoshop without a
noticeable speed loss. There are plenty of programs that perform similar
manipulations of images that photoshop does and I haven't noticed any speed
issues with them. None of them are equivalents of photoshop in terms of
total functionality, but they might support a subset of the functionality.

hi, What is the performance hit of c# over visual c++. Would it be
possible to write photoshop in c# for example with no noticable speed loss?
thanks.
