got photoshop to work!

j/k .

did anyone ever get photoshop to work on linux?

besides wine, which i haven't gotten to work yet.
if you got it to work on wine, can you please list the steps you took to have it work, and version?

is there a program like vmware, that emulates a windows session, so i can run photoshop or flash?

i got my gentoo to work flawlessly, perfect and beautiful, but i'm a professional web designer, and so i can run gentoo to look cool and play music or movies, then reboot, and switch to winXP to run flash or photoshop... its not happening. just isn't very productive or practical.

theGIMP is ok, but its no photoshop, blueFish however is a very good dreamweaver replacement, i've been building sites with notepad for years anyway.

I would even go as far as buying another Photoshop that is made for linux and works great if there is such a thing.

can someone please help me out, windows sux!
i can't stand it. i only need the programs it can run.

From what I understand, ir works quite well through CrossOver/WINE. Though, you could also try it through Netraverse's Win4Lin kernel things...

I had it running within a few days of using Mandrake. I don't have any screenshots of it anymore though. However, I have no need for it since the GIMP irons out the problems that Photoshop gave me and has more filters and such so I don't even have Wine emerged. All I did to get it working was install it through Wine.

hey i really did get photoshop to work, and all this time i've been just using my winXP partitions to try to run programs, but when you install it into 'fake_windows' it works quite well. almost perfect. i'm going to try that with all my software now, see how they go... ps7 illustrator9 illustrator10 3dsMaX5 macromedia studioMX and 2004.

StudioMX should work fine. However, I highly recommend using Blender instead of 3DSMax since it's Linux native, free, and equally as good if not better.

StudioMX doesn't work

i tried using the already installed version on my other partition. then installing it to that partition, and also installing it to linux partition. all errors out.
i even try installing individual programs, instead of the whole studio. still no work.
how did you get it to work?
i'm no wine expert, but did you have to copy your own dlls or something to your fake wine directory?

Wine is hit or miss. Many apps cannot be run, so do not be surprised if most of your attempts fail. Other apps are extremely well supported.

Check out www.winehq.com, and read on. They have an application compatibility database there that you may find useful.

I have also Photoshop working fine (with luck). Evrything seems OK except one thing. Toolbar, navigation panel and other panels are Always on top and on All desktops. That it isn's so good. You can see this on this image

Have anybody some idea how to fix this?

I got Photoshop 6 and ImageReady installed via wine, which gave no problem.
Image ready starts perfect, it works great. But Photoshop starts loading, but at the moment the toolbars should appear (just after 'Initializing Tools ...') it crashes and i get this message in my shell:
