I'm sure some of you would love to install and use Photoshop on your Linux box. So while I prefer using GIMP, I will still show you how to install Adobe Photoshop inside Linux with the help of Wine (not the alcoholic drink) just in case your photo shop classes or jobs require you to setup and use it. On this tutorial, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" and Photoshop CS4.Now let's get started and install Adobe Photoshop on Ubuntu Linux:
* Downloading and Installing Wine
The first thing that you should do is to install Wine. Using the Linux terminal, add the WineHQ APT repository with this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
To download and install Wine on Ubuntu, just click HERE.
A pop-up will appear, just click "OK".
After installing Wine, you will have to download and install a few more packages. One of which is winetricks.
winetricks is a simple script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries sometimes needed to run programs in Wine.

To get winetricks and the other needed packages, just copy and paste this command:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Now install them:
sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005
You should also install Microsoft TTF fonts:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
Before we will install Photoshop CS4, we will have to download a .dll file. Get atmlib.dll from HERE.
Extract the zip file and copy atmlib.dll to c:/windows/system32. To do this, go to Applications menu -->Wine -->Browse C:\ Drive, then navigate to windows -->system32 and paste atmlib.dll there. After that go to Applications menu --> Wine --> Configure Wine. Inside the Libraries tab, add atmlib.dll and click on "Apply."
* Installing Photoshop CS4 on Ubuntu
You can now run the Photoshop CS4 installer via Wine with this command:
LANG=C wine Setup.exe
Note: you may need to add the path to your installer
Just install Photoshop the way you do it on Windows and you are done.
* Running Photoshop CS4 on Ubuntu
You can now start using Photoshop by going to Applications -->Wine -->Programs, and then selecting Photoshop CS4. Have fun, but don't forget to try GIMP :-)
interesting in trying this...wondering if it will be buggy!
I used this method to install Lightroom 2.4 and it not only installed OK, it actually ran. The only problem is that while the photos I imported show up in the grid, they display only as grey squares with no actual picture content. I guess there are some missing .dlls.
Really nice post, i was just curious and wanted to try it, but got a error whine trying to run "Setup.exe".
This is what i get:
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_RESET_URLCACHE_SESSION: STUB
fixme:wininet:CommitUrlCacheEntryInternal entry already in cache - don't know what to do!

fixme:wininet:CommitUrlCacheEntryInternal entry already in cache - don't know what to do!
btw: i'm running Kubuntu 9.10 and whine version is 1.1.38
I prefer GIMP. By the way, GIMP 2.8 is going to become even better, because it will be singlewindowed!
hi i tried this every thing went right until i run the setup.exe file.
while running it asked for the serial number.i entered it but it is saying that the entered key is invalid.
In terminal it throws a error

will be very helpful if you guide me from getting out of this error in intalling photoshop CS4
I've done everything up until the command: LANG=C wine Setup.exe
But mine says: Module not gound
user@user-laptop:~$ LANG=C wine Setup.exe
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Setup.exe": Module not found
Where am I supposed to put the .exe file?
I tried putting it into:
/home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:
And then I wrote "LANG=C wine /home/anda/.wine/dosdevices/c:Photoshop.exe" but then it says that it cannot find it...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance
