1 GiB will be free after installation

4 - Make sure you have an internet connection and about 1.5 Gib traffic to download photoshop and its components

💻 Installation

The installer script uses a virtual drive of wine and makes a new winprefix for photoshop

First of all, you need to clone the repository with this command:

git clone https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux.git
cd photoshopCClinux

Then you can easily run the setup.sh script to install Photoshop CC on your Linux distro:

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

You can use -d to specify the installation path, and -c for the cache directory. For example:

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

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

When no options are given, the installer script will use the default path, The uninstaller script will detect your custom path so there is no problem, I recommend using the -d option and having the default cache directory. This feature is currently being tested, and will be added to setup.sh later

During the installation please pay attention to the script messages

NOTE: Make sure OS version in wine is on windows 7

The installer script uses winetricks to install necessary components

🍷 Wineprefix Configuration

If you need to configure the wineprefix of photoshop you can use winecfg.sh script just run the command below:

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 your graphics card.

Photoshop uses the GPU to process these tools so before using these tools make sure that your graphics card (NVIDIA or 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 use the keyboard shortcut [ctrl+K]
Go to the Performance tab
In the graphics processor section, uncheck Use graphics processor

📷 Adobe Camera Raw

Another useful adobe software is camera raw if you want to work with it beside photoshop you must install it separately to do this, after photoshop installation run cameraRawInstaller.sh script with commands below:

chmod +x cameraRawInstaller.sh
./cameraRawInstaller.sh

Then restart photoshop, you can open camera raw from Edit >> Preferences >> Camera Raw

NOTE1: The size of camera raw is about 400MB

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

♨️ Uninstall

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

chmod +x uninstaller.sh
./uninstaller.sh
