    Oh Yes!!!It proves immensely beneficial, particularly when dealing with a multitude of templated data. Rather than the conventional method of organizing data folder by folder, the incorporation of variables significantly enhances efficiency, allowing me to save valuable time. 🙂

    Variables were added in Photoshop CS2, however, variables were already in Adobe ImageReady from version 7 included with Photoshop 7 and then moved to Photoshop cs2, when it was apparent Adobe ImageReady would be discontinued.

     

    ImageReady was a web graphics oriented application included with Photoshop 5.5, 6, 7, CS and CS2.

      Hi @Anna Vida,

       

      Variables or data-driven graphics are a recent addition and was not a part of Ps from the get-go.
