Running Adobe Photoshop on Wine
Photoshop 5 through CS2 install and work pretty well on wine, and Photoshop CS3 is getting close! Here are some tips you'll need to run Photoshop successfully:
You shouldn't have to copy Photoshop from Windows; just install it under Wine by running its Setup.exe. (To run a .exe under wine, you have to doubleclick it, right click and choose "Run with Wine", or run it from the commandline using the 'wine' command, depending on how your Linux distribution integrates Wine.)
Never use a cracked version of Photoshop.
Never run Wine as root.
Use a recent version of Wine (1.1.6 or later).
Before installing Photoshop CS or CS2, do 'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks; sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6'
if the above line produces the error 'cabextract: command not found' type in 'sudo apt-get install cabextract', run, and run the above line again
Before installing Photoshop CS3, do 'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks; sh winetricks gecko gdiplus'
The Clone tool uses the ALT key in a way that conflicts with many window managers. Here's how to fix that:
Ubuntu or Fedora: Go to System → Preferences → Windows, and under Movement Key, pick "Super" instead of "Alt".
Kubuntu: Go to the K Menu → System Settings → Look and Feel → Windows, and under Movement Key, pick "Super" instead of "Alt".
Suse with GNOME: Go to Computer → Control Center → Look and Feel → Windows, and under Movement Key, pick "Super" instead of "Alt".
Suse with KDE: Go to the Gecko menu → Favorites → Configure Desktop → Desktop → Window behavior → Window Actions → "Inner Window, Titlebar & Frame", and pick "Meta" instead of "Alt".
If you have a keyboard with the AltGr key (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key) (not many US keyboards have this): duplicating Marquee selections with AltGr+Arrows didn't work, you have to use Ctrl+Alt+Arrows instead
compiz plugins might also steal important keystrokes (Ctrl+Arrows, Shift+Arrows, Shift+Ctrl+Arrows, Ctrl+Alt+Arrows) used by Photoshop for moving, cuting und duplicating Marquee selections. For instance, see RotateCube (http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Cube#Rotate). You might need to disable Compiz or those plugins to use Photoshop properly.
Some UI elements might use a too-small font. In CS2, you can fix this with Edit / Preferences / General, and change UI Font Size from Small to Medium.
Please report any problems you run into. (You can report them to the forum, to the appdb, to bugzilla, or even on your own blog; we're listening everywhere.)
Known Issues
With wine-0.9.58, Photoshop CS2 works really well, so don't be scared by this list of issues!
With wine-1.1.6, Photoshop CS3 is just starting to work, and is slow (and may lose its license as a result).
Here is a partial list of issues:
CS3 install:
15568 Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer crashes on Ubuntu 7.10 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15568)
CS3 basic functionality:
15571 Adobe Photoshop CS3 aborts with missing gdiplus functions (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15571)
CS2 basic functionality:
10085 Adobe Bridge CS2 can't start due to licensing problem (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10085)
Transparancy:
10091 Transparent images have black backgrounds with Compiz (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10091)
Z-order:
11412 Adobe Photoshop CS2: splash screen z-order problem (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11412)
15572 Adobe Photoshop CS3 z-order problems (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15572)
Multi-monitor support:
12599 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12599) Photoshop CS2 image windows don't paint fully if you have two monitors with unequal resolutions
Updaters:
11293 Adobe Imageready 7 (part of Photoshop 7) update squirrly (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11293)
11251 Adobe Photoshop CS2 update process funky (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11251)
Photoshop Elements:
Photoshop Elements 4 and 5 won't work unless you install Microsoft's ODBC (e.g. using winetricks mdac28). One user (http://technologytales.com/2008/01/23/running-photoshop-elements-5-on-ubuntu-and-opensuse/) recommends doing 'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks; sh winetricks fakeie6 mdac28 jet40' before installing.
Photoshop Elements 6 currently doesn't work because the installer doesn't create manifests for MSVCRT assemblies.
