Photoshop CS - Lacking Features

Post by PopsTX »

Fresh install of KUBUNTU Intrepid
Fresh install of WINE (latest version)

Finally got Photoshop CS to work but, am missing some very basic features... Like the bounding box. Cannot resize layers, objects or text.

I'm reasonably certain there's a .dll file missing but I don't have a clue as to which one... And I'm also reasonably certain the answer to this is somewhere in this forum but, I've spent the last 4-6 hours searching to no avail.

No errors are being thrown.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you follow the howto in the AppDB? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=1815

Yep, first place I went when before install.

Got all the "tips - tricks - downloads" (winetricks).

I've subsequently removed and installed again and now have the features that sets Photoshop apart from the rest. However, it runs NOWHERE as smoothly as it did prior to a total Windows Meltdown.

I've a sneaking suspicion this problem may somehow be a "licensing" issue as my P.S. is part of a suite and all I wanted was P.S. and the "key" is for the entire suite. Even though the licensed installation will allow "selected" apps to be installed, it real balked when choosing just P.S. Tried to install A.I. but could not get it to install.

I.M.O.: It would behove the good folks at Adobe to port their entire product line to LINUX. However, they don't seem to listen to us as we scream... And have been screaming for years!
