Hello,
Nice post, the first of all. I tried installing photoshop a couple of times since I changed to linux, I tried with Gimp and Rawtherapee but is not the same… I already have wine but each time I have problems with PS downloaded folders… Can I download directly from the official site and then run as a complete version? Could you help me telling where I can get a file ready to run in Ubuntu? I have a .rar but I’m not able to open it, do you know if I can do it??
Lots of thanks for answering
the answer is No, There is no support for linux from adobe. The only way to run adobe products is through wine.
Thanks for answering.
Yes I know that but I’m not able to install Photoshop. I installed wine correctly at least (it took me a while installing it on 64 bits) but the part I can’t find is where or how download Photoshop, I tried downloading it a couple of times but I can’t open the file, even trying with wine. Each time is a portable version or a .rar file, so the question what I should download… or how to do the installation.
Thanks again.
I did it downloading a .zip I found… Thanks for your help and our time.
