[LUG] Photoshop on Linux?

 

Hi there,

My partner has been using an iMac and Macbook pro for years predominantly for the purpose of Photoshop and other Adobe software packages.

She now feels the need to upgrade the macbook. I'm a long term Linux user and because of my influence she enjoys using it. She would really like to buy a new PC with a shiny new Linux distro on it but we have one serious stumbling block. Photoshop, which she rely's on for work.

Now, I've tried to install Photoshop using Wine on a brand new Pavilion G7 and it doesn't even get past the installer - even with the latest Wine version. I've spend countless hours on different tutorials trying to get it installed and it just doesn't seem possible.

So, I am sending out a distress call :D has anyone successfully installed Photoshop on Linux?

GIMP or Krita are not options unfortunately. This is apparently due to a difference in functionality and compatibility issues between these and Photoshop

Thanks in advance.
