In fact, this is a big problem. For me, it's uncomfortable, thanks for these tutorials. If you are interested, you can also look at this blog highendbeautyretouching.com! There are so many interesting ideas for photos!

Since nobody linked, I shall dropthis.
Long story short, you can try and use WINE to run Windows app on Linux. This app is not perfect, so it's always wise to check some experiences and info. In the link you can see that the experiences change a lot, so I encourage you to search for your particular version.

You can also google about PlayOnLinux, which you can think as a preconfigured WINE for certain apps. Here, there is some info about Adobe Photoshop CS6 and it seems to be supported. You might experience some differences with versions and configurations, but with these 2 resources, I doubt you have any problems if you photoshop version is not a troublesome one :P

Good luck!

Certainly! While Adobe Photoshop isn't officially supported on Linux, you can try using it through compatibility layers like Wine or CrossOver, or by running a virtual machine with Windows installed. PlayOnLinux provides a user-friendly interface for Wine, while CrossOver offers improved compatibility. Alternatively, you can stream Photoshop from a remote Windows system. Each method has its own pros and cons, so you may need to experiment to find the best fit for your needs.

I don't know why this ancient thread was resurrected but I might as well share my experience with Photoshop on Linux. Maybe someone will find it helpful.

I'm able to run Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) on Linux using Wine with 'Bottles' as a graphical fronted. I'm using Wine version 9.0 at them moment but earlier versions did work as well. I didn't have to install any additional DLLs although older guides state that some are required, so you might check on those if you run into trouble while installing.

The program doesn't run perfectly, though:

- Pen and pen pressure recognition is unreliable: Sometimes when I change the size of a tool I have to select another tool and re-select the one I want to use before the pen is working properly. I can't lasso select with a pen and when I do lasso select with the mouse something inside my computer's case makes strange squeaking noises. For real, I'm not making this up...

- Mouseover tooltips of picture names don't disappear and are always in the foreground. So when I hover over my picture's title once it will be displayed permanently until I close Photoshop, even when I tab out to other programs, including full screen applications like games. This can be prevented by turning off tooltips in the settings menu but then all tooltips are disabled.

For my needs it works fine enough. I mainly need the filters and context sensitive filling and those work fine. For digital painting Krita is a great alternative, for photo editing GIMP is an alternative (but not a great one imho). Both programs are free and open source so there is no reason not to try them at least.

An AI bot found it and decided to make a reply to it. AI doesn't understand the concept of time, everything is here and now for it.

I did not know about Krita. I'll have to check it out.

It's quite good. The thing is probably close to a commercial product in terms of quality and stability.

Me either. Though i have a soft spot for Jasc's Paint Shop Pro v3.12 for Windows 3.11/Win95, as it's the first (and only) paint program i used for quite a while. Best part it only took like 1-2 floppy disks for the shareware release, so really lightweight. I still can't make heads or tails of any other paint program.

Ouch, that one hit hard. I remember buying this from my pocket money as a kid. (see attachment.) It cost "only" ~ 20 Deutsche Mark; or nowadays ~ 10 Euros + 30 years of inflation. Mind you, for a feature-restricted demo ("shareware") version. The software itself was actually free, but in the age of floppies you had to pay for the cost/effort of acquiring the software without internet, duplicating floppies and being provided with a printed quick-start booklet. In that light, it's hilarious when people complain about modern software distribution and consumer rights ("I feel like we live in the darkest timeline").
Nevertheless, the software promised to be able to
- view & convert lots of different image formats
- edit images (rotate/ flip, enlarge/ shrink, colors & contrast)
- do screen shots.
It was truly mindblowing and awesome! (if you don't mind the nagging ad-screens for ordering the full version...)
JASC / The PaintShopPro product were later acquired by the Corel Corporation and integrated into their graphics suite.

GIMP runs on Linux, is free, and has some pretty good parity with PSP, or CS.

I'd have copied the floppies for you for free; if you brought me two blank ones that is. Otherwise would have been like $1 per disk is what my dad sold them at.

Quick start booklet? Never saw one, i installed it and figured it out myself over a period of a few hours what did what. Then again my dad got mailed a bunch of shareware over time; Think i have a number of the disks archived. Probably time to strip the header and make them raw images now, since it's unlikely i'd ever use the rawwrite tool to write to a ramdrive directly anymore.

As for the 'ads', i only see one when you load the program and then it's quiet. Not exactly a big issue, as with like PK-Zip you'd pay for a few extra features like leaving comments or a SFX with a 'registered' mark rather than 'free'.
