Adobe Photoshop

Hey, has anybody been able to resolve the issue with the "Export As" dialog? It just does not open.

Please report bug report at:
bugs.winehq.org/enter_bug.cgi

Please attach the console logs into that bug report

There are no logs regarding the issue, as far as i've noticed.

Hi,

Is everybody still able to log in into your Adobe account when launching Photoshop?

With this Photoshop version (CC 2018) I was able to solve the log in problem following the DLL's workaround described here: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47015

However, after a few Wine updates the log in no longer works and I cannot create new files either. Photoshop only launches if I bypass the login in this way: I choose an image file in Nautilus and I choose to "open with..." --> Photoshop. Then PS launches with no files opened but in that way I am able to open a file from within PS. At this point all the operations I tested work fine but if I want to create a new file that doesn't work.

Is anybody experiencing the same problem? I'm on Ubuntu 19.10 with the latest Wine Staging.

Thanks

I've finally found the solution for window resizing issue when "Allow the window manager to control the widows" is checked in wine, yay! the solution is posted in forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=20006 by by @rui1965, though it's for office 2007, but it works flawlessly for Photoshop CC_18 as well. Things to do,

1. Goto Settings>Window Management>Window Rules> New...

2. Add description for the rule like. "Settings for photoshop.exe wine" put "photoshop.exe wine" in Window Class application without quotation marks ("") and set it to exact match

3. Check on tab "Size & Position"

4. Check "Full screen": value Forced, No

5. Check "Ignore Requested Geometry": value Forced, Yes

Now we can use Photoshop CC18 flawlessly in KDE.

I think is this solution is global to any wine app running in KDE, means we can use this solution to other problematic wine app in KDE

Hey, for those having difficulty getting a 'new file' to be created, you can go into Edit > Preferences > General in Photoshop and tick the box that says 'Use Legacy New Document Interface.'

That should resolve the issue, but if it doesn't, make sure your winecfg settings, under the Graphics tab, are set for Photoshop.exe to not allow the windows manager to decorate or control the windows (deselect those boxes, that is).

Hope this helps!

To be honest I feel Krita is better at painting specifically, I abandoned Photoshop for it. But many artists I talked to have invested hundreds of dollars into PS brushes and other resources they don't want to leave behind, as well as have a tested workflow and feel switching to Krita would be a case of fixing what isn't broken, and I can understand that.

Also PS has some very powerful special features like the 3D panorama painting for example.

Finally, when it comes to general image editing, then PS truly does not have a Linux equivalent. Ideally I would use PS for general editing and Krita for painting/drawing/animation, but PS is still very unstable under Wine, in addition to the pressure issue. :(

I'm unsure what "Amtlib" is for, if it's for downloading the .dll needed to crack Photoshop that should most likely not be mentioned in this guide to install Photoshop.
Either way the download for "amtlib" is broken and stops the installation of anything mentioned after it so that should probably be changed.

Also, for new users that are unfamiliar with wine the line
winetricks fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015 msxml3 msxml6 gdiplus corefonts
Might be confusing as it will create a wineprefix folder inside the home directory.

You should probably replace it with
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/directory winetricks fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015 msxml3 msxml6 gdiplus corefonts

bug 18517 is marked "Staged" but there is nothing on the ticket for years.
bug 11846 also has very little activity, and seems to have been changed from "Staged" to "New".

I wonder if anyone knows what's up? Is this issue still actively looked into?

I don't mean to be disrespectful but Photoshop is probably the Number #1 pro app in the World and tons of people told me it's the only thing that makes it impossible for them to switch to Linux, so I would assume it's a high priority to get it working... Is it just really this difficult that it couldn't be fixed for almost ten years?

Created an account just to say, +1 to your comment.

Seriously there are A LOT of people who would potentially switch to Linux virtually overnight if any recent version of Photoshop could run reliably on Linux. I absolutely love the Wine devs and have massive appreciation for the work they do, I've donated to the project, I love it. But can we please have a little more attention on this application? It's really pretty damn important. Not only does this application not run in Wine, it can't really be run optimally through a VM since Photoshop really strongly benefits from a GPU, and if we're being honest there's no open source alternative to Photoshop that holds a candle to it. (Sorry GIMP and Krita). Linux needs Photoshop, surely there has to be a way to get this thing run reliably?

Created an account myself to state that, while it is nice that you guys support the Wine devs and even donated to them, it is worth noting that there is only so much the Wine devs can do to have Photoshop and a number of Adobe products and other Windows-exclusive applications to work. They dont have the Windows NT file system, the proprietary source code that is exclusive only to Microsoft�s series of OS. The Wine devs cannot borrow or derive anything from the NT source code or else a lawsuit will be filed. They have no other choice but to create the source code in Wine from scratch.

Wine is a perpetual beta project, as in, the Wine devs are going to have to not only catch up with the old and current updates of Microsoft�s NT file system (by making it from scratch), but they are going to have to tackle the new updates that MS implemented into their source code in order to keep up.

You should direct your want for Adobe Photoshop to work on Linux to the company responsible for creating Photoshop and the other applications belonging to the Creative Cloud: Adobe Incorporated. Insisting that the Wine devs �put more attention to Photoshop� will not only take away most of their attention to maintaining Wine as a whole, but it won�t really fix this incompatibility that Photoshop has with Wine.

If the companies behind these types of applications actually developed ports for Linux, then there wouldn�t be much of a problem. The Wine devs are doing all they can possibly do to mimic the proprietary NT source code from scratch. Let�s not apply more pressure to these hardworking devs.

to avoid crash of CEPHtmlEngine.exe
go to Edit, Preferences, Plug-Ins and un-check "Allow extensions to connect to the internet" and "Load Extension Panels".

PS does not allow me to enable OpenGL - the option is grayed out. This also mean that lots of the features are disabled.

Any ideas?

Need to correct myself.

OpenGL is on (I confused it with OpenCL), but all the 3D functionality is grayed out.

For those who have issues using the stamp tool, I found that the Alt key is dragging the windows around in Ubuntu 16.10. So in order to get the stamp tool to work, you must change the shorcut Ubuntu uses to drag around windows. Here's a link for how to do that: askubuntu.com/questions/521423/how-can-i-disable-altclick-window-dragging
