July 28, 2009 at 04:05Installing Photoshop CS4 under Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
- Transfer
Dear colleagues, let me offer you my first post on the hub - the translation of the publication on installing Adobe PhotoShop CS4 under Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.
A considerable number of users use Adobe PhotoShop, and CS4 seems to work (under Ubuntu - approx. Per.). However, installing it is not trivial, and requires some actions: We need to compile the patched assembly of Wine 1.1.25, and then add a bunch of utilities to the system.
It is also not superfluous to recall that you need legal (or trial :) - approx. Per.) version of Adobe PhotoShop CS4.
This instruction is for Ubuntu Jaunty only (it might work for other builds too, but I doubt it)
We will need to install the build-essential package created to compile other Debian packages from source:
For this installation, we need to remove the current version of Wine (if it has already been installed):
First, we need to add the PPA * Wine repositories (system-> Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager-> Repositories - approx. Lane): Add the public key and update the package lists: Now we need to download the dependencies and get the Wine sources: (Warning - on a clean system, the traffic volume was 180 Mb - approx. per.) Now we move to the Wine directory: Here we upload the Patch for the installer to work under Wine: And apply it to the code: After that we compile Wine (Create a Debian package): Note: for multiprocessor systems nduetsya to make each command to indicate parameter -j (chislo_CPU + 1). In this case, physically existing processor cores are meant, and not the number of occupied sockets.
For example, for a 4-core processor (or 2 installed processors with 2 cores), the compilation command should look like:
For a 2-core processor, respectively:
After that, install the package we assembled:
Now, if you did everything right, you have The system has the latest version of Wine, specially patched for normal operation with PS CS4. Also in the current directory is the already compiled Debian package .deb, which you can use to install, for example, on another machine.
Now we need to install for additional packages necessary for normal work with PhotoShop.
To do this, we need a winetricks script: With which we can install the necessary Windows Packages in Wine :), such as MS XML, ie6 and so on: Now download the necessary Windows fonts: Note: My Windows partition is mounted as / windows. Change the command depending on your Windows partition path. If you have Windows installed, copy all the contents from C: \ WINDOWS \ Fonts to ~ / .wine / drive_c / windows / Fonts. In my case, this is the command: (In my case, Windows is missing and it's okay, besides, to use All Windows Fonts, you need an OS License - approx. Author)
Download the atmlib.dll library. You can find it for downloading via Google, or copy it from the directory with Windows Installed (C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ atmlib.dll) and put it at ~ / .wine / drive_c / windows / system32. In my case, for copying from Windows it was a command:
Remove Disk Z: in Wine:
Go to the Disks tab, Remove Disk Z. You cannot use Disk "/" in Wine for certain reasons. You will probably need to create a Drive that links to your Home directory. Wine will not be able to launch the Installer if it cannot find it.
Now run the PhotoShop Installer - go to the directory with the installer and run the command:
(If you use a Language version of Ubuntu other than English, the command should look like this:
approx. per.)
Unfortunately, the choice of installation components is not available to you, since this is an Installer error, but besides this, everything should work fine (Also in the checkbox installer to the left of the phrase “I want to install and use Adobe PhotoShop CS4 in trial mode” I’m invisible. with the mouse, or find Tab, and set the Spacebar - approx.
After the installation is finished, just start PhotoShop. It should work fine (except for OpenGL rendering - it doesn't work).
Woohoo! (The emotions of the author. “I’ll bite the dictionary now!” - the emotions of the translator).
We should have noticed that fonts look awful (and how! - approx. Per.). Winetricks also allows us to enable font smoothing in Wine. There are 3 packages in total: fontsmooth-gray, fontsmooth-rgb, and fontsmooth-bgr. Of these, the most acceptable fontsmooth-rgb. Go to the winetricks directory (if you have not forgotten where it is located), and execute the following code:
If the font looks too funny for you (yeah, you will have a good laugh - approx. Per.) Run the command to install the fontsmooth-bgr package:
By default, icons are not always displayed correctly. For the normal operation of the icons, it is recommended to convert from PNG to format. By default, they are embedded in photoshop.exe, but you can extract them from there with a utility such as IconsExtract . After extraction, re-save with GIMP .ico to PNG (but hiding all layers except the largest) (PhotoShop cannot process Icon files).
After that, rename this file as photoshop.png and copy it to the address / usr / share / pixmaps:
