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.I've not read the other replies yet but I'd suggest having a look at CrossOver Office. They do a 30 day trial version so you can give it a try and see if it works before paying out for it (even then I think it's only about 30 quid). Looking at the site quickly it seems that some versions of Photoshop work and some don't. http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/search/?name=photoshop Rob
What was the outcome of this thread/problem Joe? did you get something sorted?
