Adobe Launches Photoshop CS3 Beta… sadly no Linux version
Sadly Linux is not a platform yet for Adobe and Photoshop. However, via Adobe labs you can get your hands on their latest CS3 beta here. The new features being introduced are listed here. A couple that I find enticing are: 1) Automatic layer alignment and blending (if it really works), 2) Multiple, adjustable angle planes for wrapping images around planes and 3) for Mac users, native Intel performance (and for Windows users, native Vista … well performance support…)
I’d really like to see a Linux version.

I’ve read about wine (http://winehq.org/) and it seems that with it you can run Photoshop on Linux, along with other Windows programs. Haven’t tried it yet, but I probably will in the coming weeks.

Photoshop does not run well at all in Wine. I’ve tried already.

Have you tried Gimp? Is it any good?

I’ve used Gimp for a long time… no comparison to CS2

Photoshop CS works fine on last version of WineHQ. You just install it normally. I did it before.
Photoshop CS2 works too, but have some issues and the installation is kind of tricky.
CS3 is far from run on WineHQ. You know that there is a Mac versions, it means, a UNIX version, so, I’wonder if is possible to port some Mac (UNIX) app to Linux…

Hi all,
I have recently started to use Linux more and more, I only started using Linux about 6-8 months ago.
I find Linux (Ubuntu) very easy to install etc.
My only complaint (if I can on free software/OS) is that I use Dreamweaver and CS3 apps heaps.
I undestand a small amount about linux, so I am hopefull some bright spark out there in the open source community will eventually have CS3 etc running natively on linux.
Maybe not in the near future but soon.
So I challange the community, to develop a CS package that can be installed on linux, if it is possible.
Thank you,
Mudsy :)
