Only in VERY expensive professional kit. Think $250,000+ range. The hard discs were removeable packs sitting on drives the size of a washing machine. The computing power was bit slice processors for the graphics manipulation backed up by some kind of PDP11.

A few years later you could run photoshop on affordable kit.
