Adobe Photoshop

What works

The majority of PS functions

What does not

File Info, File Open Dialog, Export to Video, Welcome Screen won't function (but you have workarounds) 

Workarounds

You need to register the following native libraries, most of the them come with PS18 and are located in the same folder with Photoshop.exe (except atmlib, gdiplus, and d3d libraries which you need to take from Windows 7 SP amd64/x86 depending on PS18 architecture) 

I all so suggest to rename/copy Photoshop.exe to PhotoshopSE.exe and not apply Wine wide but rather application wide overrides. Remember - Windows always boots the libraries located in the same folder with an executable EXE file first, the same Wine does. So you put the libraries in the same folder with PhotshopSE.exe and then register the overrides for PhotoshopSE.exe only. That gives you a flexibility with other applications which might not need the overrides and which destabilize from using them. To register overrides use regedit ps.reg or (due to a bug in regedit in some Wine version - start regedit.exe and import ps.reg)

Copy the libraries below to Phostoshop[SE].exe folder (they're same as override name + .dll at the end)

File below assumes that you renamed/copied Photoshop.exe to PhostoshopSE.exe, all the overrides will be applied to PhotoshopSE.exe (not to Photoshop.exe) if you want global Photoshop.exe overrides and have only 1 version of PS installed then change PhotoshopSE.exe to Photoshop.exe from the file below

ps.reg

You might force

"d3d11"="native"
"d3d9"="native"

After that CS18 will work pretty well except it uses a new HTML based File Open dialog and Welcome screen which are likely work but poorly with overrides (black screen at the first screen is an indicator that you run into this problem)

To fix it when PS starts

Press Ctrl + K then go to General, switch off Show Start workspace when no Documents are Open and then turn on use Legacy New Document

That will fix the black screen welcome dialog 

What was not tested

It's a huge app... 

Hardware tested

• GPU: Intel

Additional Comments

The first impression is that CS18 is the smoothest running Photoshop with builtin libs from all Photoshops. But that is only the first impression, once you dig into CS18 you start seeing wine bugs. Some functions will not work, like XMP plugin is not going to function, Export to Video won't work, welcome screen, File New dialogs are broken. But generally PS18 has no crashes and quite usable with or without native libraries. Using native libraries are still required if you want to use PS daily. It's more stable with native libraries and gives a better user experience. 

Compared to CS5, CS18 is much slower, unless you need some CS18 features using CS5  with native opengl32.dll and other overrides is faster. For example both CS5 and CS18 are working quite well on Atom N2800 (64 bit, 4Gb of RAM) netbook, but CS5 is about +40% faster on native opengl32.dll from windowsxp than CS18 on native d3d 

Cons is that I found no way of stopping CS5 from crashing on applications exit (plugin unload) with Wine 6.3, 6.5, at the same time all CS5 features are operational. CS18 won't crash at all but it's not full functional with 6.3, 6.5, fortunately you have mentioned above workarounds and the features that won't still work after them are not essential.
