Developer Claims Photoshop Installers Now Work on Linux Using Wine (linuxiac.com)

The inability to use Adobe Creative Cloud on Linux is often cited as a major barrier for many users considering a switch to the platform. But perhaps, just perhaps, there has already been a breakthrough in that direction.

A community developer says they have resolved long-standing Wine compatibility issues that prevented Adobe Creative Cloud installers from completing on Linux, publishing a patchset and prebuilt binaries that they claim enable installation of Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2025.

I found darktable pretty user friendly TBH. The thing I've been struggling with is image editing - I can't find something that has a decent workflow. I'm not looking for anything fancy. Paint.net on windows more than met my needs when I was spending more time in windows.

For me it was the same back some years ago - paint.net was the software I probably missed the most. Between Pinta and Krita, I tend to find everything I need. Pinta is most similar to paint.net imo, quite a bit more basic, but the same toolkit and design philosophy I'd say.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'll have to check Pinta out.

Would Pixi editor be the kind of thing you're looking for?

I will give it a try, thanks for the suggestion.

My biggest issue with darktable was the masking. It's so different in darktable, but once I understood it, all the barriers fell away

I can't find something that has a decent workflow. I'm not looking for anything fancy

I import, sort and tag my photos with Digikam, and then open them with darktable for editing.

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Sorry, I meant a decent editing workflow. Things along the lines of editing - adding outlined text, moving and/or removing things, etc. For example, I've tried gimp a few times but I've found myself fighting against the way it wants you to do things.

Any reason why you are using digikam for importing and sorting and not just daktable?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

Digikam is built from the ground up to be a photo cataloger. Hierarchical tags that you can click on to expand or contract, the ability to jump from a given photo to all photos taken on the same date, or all photos in the same folder, or all photos that share a particular tag. Collapsible folders and tag structures, the ability to toggle child tag/folder recursive view on or off, image grouping (automated by filename/timestamp/burst). They also share metadata perfectly well through EXIF data, so anything I do in one is visible in the other right away.

This is digikam

This is the same folder in darktable

I find the catalogue more convenient in digikam, but it might be because I've used it since the beginning.
