We all know what went down with Windows 10 Mobile, and while the woking platform is dead already, the existing Windows phones are still worthy tools you can use for any series of experiments.

One developer who passes the @imbushuo on Twitter, for instance, uses a Lumia 950 XL for various Windows projects, and his latest includes running Photoshop cs4 on this Windows phone.

And a screenshot he published on Twitter last week shows this is really possible, with panoramic mode also offered, and this helps make the software look pretty good around the large screen available on the Lumia 950 XL.

Is it usable? I really doubt it, especially because dealing with advanced software like Adobe Photoshop needs a large screen that enables for refinements within the smallest areas.

But exactly how is this possible after all?

It's all because of Windows 10 ARM, a practical system that Microsoft has released for ARM-based devices. And given Adobe has learned that ARM is worth investing in (after Apple officially announced Apple Silicon earlier this year), a beta form of Photoshop with this processor is now readily available for download.

Lumia 950 XL posseses an ARM chip, and therefore it can run Windows 10 ARM with a number of tweaks. What this means is that whoever installs this OS version on their own Windows phones can then run any ARM-optimized application, including this recently-released beta of Photoshop.

Obviously, case too little, too late, so even if Photoshop has become on the Lumia 950 XL, it doesn't mean anything for that Windows 10 Mobile platform in general. It's a test and absolutely nothing more, as Microsoft's mobile operating-system is dead and won't be returning in the near future.
