Running Photoshop CS4 with Wine!! Finally

After a long search i download Photoshop CS4 and i try to make it work with wine.. and finally i can work!!

pic is a real screenshot of my desktop!!






Its good to fix antialiasing first from this post



First download Photoshop CS4 Portable from Here.

Unrar it where ever you want to run, it runs direct without install.

then download from here
gdiplus.dll and copy it to system32 folder as root (in terminal : sudo nautilus) and go to home/yourusername/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32

Download fix for Type tool from here

and copy it to system32 this one too!



then from Application-Wine-Configure Wine go Applications and add the exe file of photoshop, then select it go to Libraries and select gdiplus.dll, when you select it press Add and Ok.

you are ready .. execute Photoshop.exe from unziped folder and work!!

ps. Always need latest wine version!

could you give more details? like the wine version you're using, etc.. because i did what you've sugested and photoshop doesn't work. tks ;)

Admin said...

I use the latest Wine 1.1.29, do you have any error?

Unknown said...

i get this error:

fixme:advapi:SetNamedSecurityInfoW L"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Adobe\\Adobe PCD\\cache" 1 -2147483644 0x1caa8c 0x1caa98 0x8baf3a0 (nil)

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000048 in 32-bit code (0x70d375a4).

Admin said...

You have old wine versions... check if you have the latest 1.1.30 :)

Unknown said...

i had 1.1.30 but when i get this error, i try to downgrade back to 1.1.29, but then i get same error...
i have about 100mb free disk space, is possible that this is the problem?
and do you have already wine-gecko package installed? or what is your exact config of wine?
and what about wine registry keys of adobe? in past i used to use adobe dreamweaver.

Admin said...

Its not registry i think because is Photoshop portable..

gecko doesnt matter for sure...

have you try to delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\

??

Admin said...

have you download photoshop from my link ???

Unknown said...

- i downloaded photoshop from your link.
- gecko is needed in startup window where you must accept licence.
- i deleted that directory, but nothings changed...
- and the registry is also needed with portable versions of adobe products, all.

it seems you dont know much about...

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318

Admin said...

i said its not gecko because i was have in my mind that you already have it from older comment (my mistake), registry needed but you dont have to do anything with registry....

just to know, here i post my experience that i do with the software i use.

Julio Bêtta said...

it's working now.. but when I try to use, for example, the type tool, photoshop crashes. does it happen w you??

Admin said...

ok...

for text tool try this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/289713923/5.1.2.225__atmlib.zip

download this dll and copy it to /drive_c/windows/system32

tell me if it works:)

kaialii said...

I keep seeing references to PS portable, could I run regular CS4 with Wine?

I have a chance to upgrade PSE 7 to CS4.

thanks.

oh my gosh, your a life saver!
currently working. but is there anyway you could put a launcher on the desktop?

E.M. said...

Great! Great! Great! working, working, Working!!!

Nice Tutorial. My wife use photoshop, one of the main reason to keep dual boot in her laptop. Now with photoshop running with wine and crossover her laptop only runs ubuntu.

Bye bye windows Virus!

Anonymous said...

Hi! thank you - I would be very happy if I could use photoshiop on my linux, but when I exec this photoshop, you've psoted a few seconds it works and after that time I've got wine error:
"the program photoshop.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. ...."
without any additional error.
In my command line I can see:
"wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000008 at address 0x7209ac2 (thread 001d), starting debugger..."
how can I fix it? :(

Anonymous said...

sorry about second post - my wine is 1.1.32.
I hope somebody knows how to fix this error :(

It won't let me get past the agreement. I hit accept and it does nothing.

Any solutions?

@Anon: Rename adobe_eula.dll to adobe_eula.bak.

E.M. said...

For those not getting pass the License window, update or install wine latest beta Release (not the latest stable) that should do the trick.

Unknown said...

Yo, thanks so much for this guide! I had troubles updating Wine to the latest version when all I had to do was type
sudo apt-get install wine1.2
into the terminal.

You're a lifesaver! This worked beautifully. Thank you so much!

Works perfect for now on ubuntu 10.4

Hello
I have a problem! I did all the thinks what you sayed but when I execute the file there will be an error message:----The file '/home/margrevm/Adobe Photoshop/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.----
What can I do now???

Ricardo said...

The file '/home/ricardo/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Arquivos de programas/Photoshop/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Anonymous said...

@Ricardo that is not a problem. It is just warning you about running unknown programs. You have to right click->properties->permissions and select execute. After that you can run it by clicking on it.

Anonymous said...

hello!
i did all the procedure,
i unzipped the portable photoshop in a folder,
and now,
when i open the folder of the photoshopportable
and i click the photoshopportable.exe,
a folder opens with 2 other folders inside with names $EXEDIR and $PLUGINSDIR.
i have the options to extract the folders and some other strange things.
what's wrong?
thank you
nektarios

Chuck said...

Works great for PSCS5, thanks!

steven said...

Man... works like a charm... thank you
I have ubuntu 10.04, wine 1.1.42, and all those zips and rars from the post. Just follow the post to the letter.

I get the error when trying to open the Photoshop file:

The file '/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

I've done all you wrote, what's wrong?

Unknown said...

I followed all the instructions. But when I try to start the program I get this message:
Archive: /home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe
[/home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe or
/home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/rseaward/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe.ZIP, period.

Can you tell me what is wrong?

I am using hte latest wine 1.1.42

Klaas said...

I followed your post very carefully, but I get the same result as Nektarios mentioned on May 11. If I doubleclick the executable, I get a folder
with 2 other folders inside with names $EXEDIR and $PLUGINSDIR.

No idea where it has gone wrong, so hopefully somebody knows the answer! I would be very, very grateful...

Surej said...

Thanks Man..............works fine,though I have to run PortablePhotoshop.exe first and then Photoshop.exe..................and I think we're supposed to put atmlib.dll inside the photoshop apps folder.........Power to Ubuntu!!!!!!!!!

I think the good wine feels from the first sip. I love to drink wine in a dinner or an speciall reason. Actually i am reading about it . This blog is very interesting. costa rica investment opportunities is a site that i wanted to share with you.

Anonymous said...

I get the same error as Rick from May 20, 2010. Any help?

Anonymous said...

Hey, I think you should probably remind people of that they may need to change the file permissions, such as "Allow executing as a program".

As for everything else - you rock. Cheers.

it failed when i double click it.. i follow all yours instruction. it say:

The file '/home/amirfikri/Documents/PhotoshopCS4Portable/PhotoshopPortable.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

tin22ooo said...

Thanks For the tutorial !!!! it works like a charm..
I also tried the same thing for adobe dreamweaver cs4 Portable - It Works flawless !! Thanks again.

tin22ooo said...

Sorry, i forgot to mention...., that Dreamweaver needs to be installed, in Program Files, and then added in wine configuration,and also added the gdiplus library. Then run the exe file you just added to aplication, from its install folder.

Hi, I followed your tutorial - really great by the way - but it didn't fix the text tool error. I double checked to make sure, and everything is in place/where it should be. Do you have any ideas? I am on the newest version of wine, and wine is set up for windows xp. Could this be the problem? Thank you.

It worked ok until a few days ago with the latest Wine update (1.5.13). Any fix for this?
