What works

Most things work, including the core functionality and GPU acceleration for many tools, but it takes a little work. 

What does not

Installing, rich tooltips, most 3D features(those found under the "3D" menu) and oil painting filter do not work. Also the preview for certain transforms that use GPU is displayed upside down, but the applied result is still correct. Lastly, we must force PS to use DX11 mode because of a missing extension in VKD3D if we want to use the GPU.

Workarounds

Here's the main things you need to know:
1. It won't install under Wine, installing the things from step 2 plus ie8 gets you close but the installer still hangs at 30%. Therefore you must install under Windows(or a Windows VM) and then copy the following to your wineprefix:

C:\Program Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
C:\ProgramData\Adobe
C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe


2. winetricks vcrun2022 vkd3d dxvk atmlib gdiplus allfonts fontsmooth=rgb


3. For GPU acceleration and features to work you need to go to Edit -> Preferences -> Technology Previews and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)." Do this before trying to create or open anything or else PS will hang!

What was not tested

Anything that requires super duper advanced knowledge of PS. 

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: AMD
  • Driver: open source

Additional Comments

Other posts suggest msxml3, msxml6, and various older vcruns are needed with winetricks but I tried without these and didn't seem to need them. vcrun2022 is a cumulative package that covers from 2015 to 2022 and that's likely why it's all that's needed. Also of note is PS likes to leave a LOT of processes running even when you close it, so if you don't want random PS related executables running in the background it's best to clean those up when you're done!

Some info

The msxml3, msxml6, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, vcrun2012, vcrun2013 are not required to run this version of photoshop.

Winetricks installs: vcrun2022 allfonts fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus atmlib
DXVK and VKD3D-proton were also applied to the wineprefix as thats what I had on my system.
Installed on qemu & files copied over to linux, following the test's workaround for the install portion.

Tested: basic drawing, zooming, moving layers, text tool, various filters, layer blending, blending options, liquify, saving & loading PSD files, exporting PNGs.
All of the stuff seems functional. I opted not to install mf through winetricks (and also disabled rich tooltips).

Enabling GPU will crash on things like text tool, to "fix" this one can go into preferences -> technology previews -> tick "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)".
Liquify seems to fail under GPU (VKD3D yells about shader compilation failure, there's a syntax error), though its not a big issue to open up settings and untick "use graphics processor" temporarily forcing liquify to be entirely CPU side.
Logging into your adobe account also works, however this will pop up a crash handler that can be safely ignored & closed, I didn't test this further as I don't utilize adobe cloud at all.

There are some definite rough edges, but its way better than what it was year or two ago.
