💻 Installation

The installer scripts uses a virtual drive in wine and makes a new wineprefix for photoshop

0. For Arch users only, symlink wine64 to new wine

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine64

1. Clone the repository with this command:

git clone https://github.com/kc01-8/photoshopCClinux.git
cd photoshopCClinux

2. Run setup.sh script

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

3. (optional) Use -d to specify the installation path, and -c for the cache directory for example:

./PhotoshopSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop

or

./PhotoshopSetup.sh -d /mnt/myfiles/photoshop -c /mnt/cache

If no options are given the installer script will use the default path

During installation pay attention to the script messages.

NOTE : Arch users do not need the wine64 package. Do not change OS version in wine from windows 7.

🍷 wineprefix Configuration

To configure the wineprefix of photoshop you can use winecfg.sh script:

chmod +x winecfg.sh
./winecfg.sh

🔨 Tools

✨ Liquify Tools

As you know photoshop has many useful tools like `Liquify Tools`.

If you get some errors while working with these tools, It may because of the graphics card.

Photoshop uses the GPU to process these tools so before using these tools make sure that your graphics card (Nvidia, AMD) is configured correctly in your Linux machine.
The other solution is you can configure photoshop to use your CPU for image processing. to do that, follow the steps below:

• Go to edit tab and open preferences or [ctrl+K]
• Then go to the performance tab
• In the graphics processor settings section, uncheck Use graphics processor

📷 Adobe Camera Raw

camera raw install:

chmod +x cameraRawInstaller.sh
./cameraRawInstaller.sh

Restart photoshop and open it from: Edit >>Preferences >> Camera Raw

NOTE1: The size of camera raw installation file is about 400M

NOTE2: Camera raw performance depends on your graphic card driver and its configuration

♨️ Uninstall

To uninstall photoshop you can use the uninstaller script with commands below

chmod +x uninstaller.sh
./uninstaller.sh
