1. Install wine (in Ubuntu just execute sudo aptitude install wine
, Fedora users may run sudo yum install wine
).
2. Configure “Wine Is Not an Emulator”:
$ winecfg
When ~/.wine directory is created configuration tool will start and you can set up a virtual desktop with the graphics tabs.
3. Install Photoshop cs2
First of all mount your Photoshop installation CD with the option -o unhide. This will prevent problems with hidden files during the installation.
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0
Then proceed with installation (rather trivial procedure)
$ cd /media/cdrom0
$ wine setup
4. Run Photoshop
$ cd /home/tom/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS2
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2$ wine photoshop.exe
This would show several errors like these ones:
err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only!
err:shell:HCR_GetFolderAttributes HCR_GetFolderAttributes should be called for simple PIDL's only!
There is alternative solution – USE GIMP! As for me, I prefer alternative solution. 😉
If I try to run it in the terminal and paste this:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2$ wine photoshop.exe
It says:
bash: /home/devol/.wine/drive_c/Program: No such file or directory

Is my Xubuntu a complete retard for being unable to realize that it's "Program FILES" not just "Program"? =
Yeah, thank you for your help! 🙂
p.s. Gimp is good for rotating and resizing photos. It lacks all the kind of features that would motivate the use of photoshop (soft brushes, elegant brush opacity, type blocks, vector paths, the list goes on.) No one's doing what PS is doing. Not Gimp, not Pixel. Hence this string.
