HOWTO

­

­

Due to bug 18070(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18070) the installation does not work in the current version of wine(1.1.35), which is pretty sad, since the installed application works well.

There are only three ways make it work and neither are really recom­mended:

1. Compiling from git(not for the faint of heart http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source) 

2. Using an older wine version as described in this test data : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318&iTestingId=39845 .

­3. Moving a windows installation is another way(after the steps below are made, that is) but that's not possible for everyone.­

This is a general instruction on what should be sufficient to install and run Photoshop CS 4 under the current wine version. If the application still does not install or work, a bug report should be made at http://bugs.winehq.org detailing any errors. T­his guide applies to installations of the trial version­ and the Master collection:

1. If not done already, download the winetricks script: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

2. Install needed redistributables: sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005

3. Install MS core fonts(sudo if applicable): sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

4. Run the installation application(you might need to add a path): LANG=C wine Setup.exe

5. To work around the font layer bug(16499), and on your own risk, download atmlib.dll and copy to /drive_c/windows/system32 .

6. Run the application.

If you at this point have any problems, the correct (and good, non-evil) thing is to check if you bug is already reported among the linked bugs above. If this is you first bug report, look at some other bugs before you file your to get a feel for it. Also read the checklist shown when adding. And don't be afraid to ask if you are unsure.

Please don't use any other workarounds than those mentioned in this howto before submitting bugs as it defines what currently should suffice for the install. Using other workarounds could hide problems.

Please do NOT submit test results for "portable", cracked or in any other way illegal versions; they will be rejected outright. If you want to help out, please either buy the application or use the demo version.


 
ALT-Click keybinding and Compiz

Thanks to earther for the following email:

I was having problems with the Photoshop 7 ALT-Click keybinding in a new Debian install running Compiz.  I did the standard window manager tweak but it still didn't work properly.  Then I discovered an ALT-Click keybinding in the Compiz Window Management > Move Window > Initiate Window Move settings. I changed it to 'super' like in Gnome window management and voila, it seemed to get it working again in Photoshop. You might want to add that bit of info to the clone tool info on the Photoshop 7 page.

CS4
by Laura on Friday May 25th 2012, 10:24
I had CS4 running almost flawlessly until the most recent Wine updates. I now can't use the type tool at all. I haven't installed any new fonts, and nothing else that uses fonts seems to have any problems at all, so I'm thinking that something in the most recent updates clashes with CS4. Anyone have any ideas?

Stopped working
by Txema on Monday March 21st 2011, 16:03
Hi, i had CS4 working perfectly (from a windows installation) but a few days ago it stopped working and i don't know what to do anymore.

It simply show this line and do nothing:

err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000094 flags 0 addr 0xf775e215

The only change is an upgrade of hardware, from Pentium IV to Core i5

I'm using Gentoo 64 bits and wine 1.3.15

Changes to howto
by Sven-Hendrik Haase on Sunday December 5th 2010, 3:57
You should remove 5. and 2. should become "2. Install needed redistributables: sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005 atmlib"

Platinum?
by David Hanson on Friday November 19th 2010, 22:17
I don't understand how a program with as many "out-of-the-box" flaws as this has, can be listed platinum. This isn't right.

Tooltip doesn't hide

In Wine 1.2.x and 1.3.2 tooltip does not hide. Same bug as #18504

Tahoma
by Breagha on Monday April 19th 2010, 9:00
To avoid the blocky and partly unreadable text, install Tahoma with winetricks (Tahoma is not part of the corefonts package).

Photoshop CS4 works with PlayOnLinux
by Loren on Wednesday March 10th 2010, 23:59
After installing PlayOnLinux and running this script:
www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-3104-Adobe_Photoshop_CS4.html

I was able to complete the installer, once done Photoshop would start and bug out whenever accessing a menu function

After changing the running version of wine from 1.1.22 to 1.1.40 I'm able to airbrush & use the program so far

On the brightside
by Sam on Tuesday February 2nd 2010, 6:47
After downgrading to 1.1.16 and installing then upgrading to 1.1.37 Photoshop works so lovely and fast 100x better than windows. Just needs its installer fixing thats all. I would rate as plat if its installer worked.

[post new] [reply to this]

Umm...
by Ted Ying on Wednesday January 27th 2010, 19:14
To be clear, everybody is talking about the second stage of the installation (after you split the url and run 7za 'x' '*.7z'), right?

Also, I tried copying an existing installation over, and it shows the license agreement without the actual text of the license agreement. When I click accept, Photoshop dies quietly.

fpaste.org/rWBI/

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a good pasting website, as this one expires in one day (designed for IRC).

Does it install now?
by Warren Dumortier on Monday December 21st 2009, 15:45
I saw there were some fixes in Wine regarding Photoshop.
Is anyone now able to install Photoshop (demo) with Wine 1.1.35?

[post new] [reply to this]

Only 1.1.16 works for me
by Damien Mahoney on Thursday December 10th 2009, 7:39
Compiled wine 1.1.33, 1.1.34 and 1.1.16 on openSuse 11.2 32bit. Install only works under 1.1.16 for me though. Followed all the instructions here carefully.

CS4 Installer also works under openSuse 11.1 32bit with wine 1.1.16

I have Photoshop, Bridge and Dreamweaver working after installing through wine 1.1.16. Then the ".wine" folder can be copied over to a 64bit OS install and a newer wine version can be used to run the apps.

You can only run the installer once. A second run will error out with continuous loop? left it for about an hour once.

If someone wants more detailed how to under openSuse, ask.

photoshop
by Sam on Monday August 31st 2009, 4:15
Photoshop works perfect for me along with dreamweaver.

I installed under 1.1.17 and Did not open them under it but instead upgraded to 1.1.22 and then did it (broke under 1.1.17 when opening for some reason).

I then installed other things like office 2007 and eve-online. In the 6-8 tests I did photoshop always broke AFTER installing eve-online. I am not sure why could be a bug or could be that some how directX apps conflict with photoshop. I decided randomly to upgrade to 1.1.28 and now it all works like a beast.

Wine setup: dreamweaver cs4, photoshop cs4, office 2007 and eve online.

I fixed fonts by installing corefonts and tahoma and times32 and now my photoshop looks exactly like windows fonts and all.

gdiplus page fault - font problem
by Psi on Sunday July 19th 2009, 14:00
I got everytime a crash while loading because of broken fonts.

"sh winetricks allfonts fixfonts tahoma" did it for me

Someting I left out.
by Kraust on Thursday June 25th 2009, 17:17
My version of Photoshop crashes when I open PNGs but not JPGs or PSDs. This is an improvement over the last time when only PSDs would open for me.

Perhaps it is a problem on my side but it could also be a problem with what Wine uses to read PNGs or something.

Some notes
by k3mist on Thursday June 18th 2009, 15:29
Works really well once you get it running.

Could not install through wine on 1.1.17 or 1.1.23, did not try other versions. Installation was completed as described here: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318#Comment-42221

On load you will get an error from wine saying the application has to quit. Close the error and normal operation resumes fine with no further errors. May have to hit space bar or enter if error is not responding by clicking ok with pointer.

No Window Decoration(with or without compiz fusion). Alt+spacebar shortcut works. Alt+F9 works for minimizing.

No docking window dialog's (channels, layers, etc). If a window becomes un-docked, there is no docking it back anywhere. Reset workspace through Window > Workspace > Default.

The tooltip/window hints (yellow note looking thing with information in it) will become stuck on screen wherever they appear on all desktops (only one, so if another tooltip hint becomes displayed, the last one is removed). Disappears when application is closed.

Alt+click for setting healing brush, stamp tool, etc. will not work without changing compiz fusion shortcut for Window Management > Move Window.

UI Font size
by Nicklas Börjesson on Saturday May 2nd 2009, 3:56
I am not sure why, but on my screen I had to change the UI font size(preferences->interface->UI Font size) to "medium" in the application, or else it would look quite crappy. After that, it looked great!

It didn't matter how much i flickered the antialiasing settings in KDE, which lead me to believe that photoshop generates those graphics by itself. Does anyone knows if this is the case?

by Danny T. on Tuesday April 28th 2009, 17:04
Thanks, Nicklas Börjesson. I did all step by step what you also did and i used the installer, installed 1.1.20, try to run and thats my result:

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04, re-running "sh winetricks gdiplus" photoshop starts, but i got an error dialog. I dont' know how this dialog looks in english language so i just could try to translate it:

error opening non-psds
by Kraust on Sunday April 5th 2009, 9:26
It seems like I've done everything properly with installation (even the text tool works) but I can't seem to open any other types than .psd. I have to go into CS2 and make my pngs psds before going into CS4 and making what I want to make. Any workaround for this?

PS with Wine 1.1.17 working

Hi!
I just tried the PSCS4 Portable with the wine version 1.1.17.
Install new wine, after
sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko
and the PS started correctly. But the Font layer doesn't working yet.
Anybody has some idea?

run PS without Windows
by Robin L on Wednesday February 25th 2009, 8:41
Did anyone manage to install+run Photoshop CS4 without using Windows or a portable version? I'd like to know this because it's not clear if bug #16681 always occurs when you install PS via Wine. It would explain why a lot of people can run PS without this encountering this bug.

Does not install.
by Andre Mohren on Sunday February 8th 2009, 5:18
I installed wine 1.1.14, gdiplus, msxml etc. (but not ie6, cause it gives me a javascript error in install) ans the installer shows up correctly.
I can proceed every step without any problems, but after selecting which components should be installed, i get a screen with "installation will be prepared" and it doesnt happen anything.

Is there a way to fix that?

Menu glitches
by Aleh Skverniuk on Tuesday November 25th 2008, 12:43
Wine 1.1.9, Ubuntu 8.10, Compiz off, winetricked libraries like described before.

Everything starts fine, runs ok, everything works, but there's a serious menu issue. When you are mouseovering top menu entries and selecting their items/subitems - menu boxes aren't getting properly closed and stay on screen.
