Mint dropping Ubuntu ties in favor to Debian pure.

How do you run Photoshop in Ubuntu? (Is there a better thread for this question?) Do you use Wine?

How do you run Photoshop in Ubuntu? (Is there a better thread for this question?) Do you use Wine?

install CS5

run regedit

navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software

export out the 'Adobe' key, to your Desktop, as adobe_cs5.reg

# back in a real OS:

$ rm -rf ~/.wine

$ winetricks gdiplus ie6 msxml3 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008

# Now, copy files from Windows to Wine:

# If you're on a 64-bit version of Windows, use "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files" (untested though)

# $USER refers to your username

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\" to "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe"

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe" to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe"

"C:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Application Data\Adobe" to "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Applications Data/Adobe"

"C:\windows\system32\odbc32.dll" to "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/odbc32.dll"

"C:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll" to "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/odbcint.dll"

# Finally, import the Adobe registry entries. Using the file you made earlier, adobe_cs5.reg:

$ wine regedit adobe_cs5.reg

# Lastly, override odbc32 and odbcint as native:

$ winecfg

choose the library tab, type odbc32 in the override box, and choose add. Repeat for odbcint

# Finally, run photoshop:

$ cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5"

$ wine Photoshop.exe

Or in my case, run "winetricks gdiplus ie6 msxml3 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008"
create a link to my Photoshop.exe thats on my Store drive that I have been using for some time now.
and run "wine Photoshop.exe"

It will crash on 1st run, but now you are sorted.

Works like a dream from second run on wards.

And yes the Ubuntu thread(link) where I posted this pic(Jpg) would have been a better place

Thank you once again!

Though I'll wait for my skills to improve before I try that...

I dont know if they have CS5 yet but I know they had CS4 and maybe it can also help with other windows applications and games.
