photoshopCClinux VS Glimpse

Unless you need the newest features, Photoshop runs surprisingly well under Wine - and I don't mean this in the usual "oh yea, Wine totally works" way where it's a huge pain to set up and is 90% luck, it actually runs with barely more glitches than on Windows (not zero, but it's Adobe software, so you can't expect much).

This is the installer I used to use: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

This one is newer and looks even more promising: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

Indeed it is.

not an expert, but a quick google brought me here

I use this: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

this project on github might be the answer

There are Linux repacks for Photoshop which isn't exactly legal but it sets up wine and it's much easier than installing it on windows https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

Since then, I try to keep an eye on DaVinci Resolve things (like MakeResolveDeb) and things like the WinApps/cassowary, Gictorbit/MiMillieuh Photoshop installer, and Photogimp, or news like about OBS being officially supported on Linux through Flatpak and why that matters.

Remember the fork of GIMP because people were offended by the name?

> What if the name of the software was CripplePhoto

Argumentum ad absurdum.

> I mean, no professional uses Gimp for photo editing

Perhaps because the lack of CMYK, the limited architecture for plugin, or the outdated UI have more to do than the name?

If the name was the real bottleneck for adoption, you can be sure that you'd see someone creating a fork with different branding and being widely successful. Oh, wait. It has been tried already! [0]

There is a bunch of folks who forked Gimp because they find the name offensive. Since they still have to refer to it they use euphemisms (such a "upstream") or call it "GNU Imp".

Glimps is a good one. It has pressure sensitivity support for drawing tablets. If you want something closer to Illustrator, Inkscape is your best shot.

They're named by committee. No committee would have come up with "GIMP" (also forked as "Glimpse").

I've been enjoying the Glimpse fork a lot more these days.

(cc u/krapht) check out glimpse! it’s a fork of GIMP that’s a bit more modern. also an nx version coming soon which will be geared toward beginners
