Are you trying to use a guitar as an input device for PhotoShop?
Just dropping this here https://forum.mattkc.com/viewtopic.php?t=336
I love Matt’s videos.
He had a video describing how he completely switched to Linux and he showcased Photoshop in the video. It was immensely satisfying for me.
of course he uses arch
You can’t do that shit any other way, you use either Arch or Void.
true
He uses custom build Nobara
Love the rs232 to scsi adapter that thing is dope.
You can skip 3 of these adapters if you upgrade to the latest libraries, downgrade your microcode, turn off WiFi, and bench press a goat. It turns out it was the goat involved I’m the process, rather than the sacrifice, that made that stuff work.

There are Linux users trying to use Photoshop?
As a challenge… for science 👀…
Photoshop cs2 is
free to downloadand probably works well on wine as its old as hell.Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.
GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.
When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.
I’m sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.
Or just use Photopea like a non-self abusive person
Add one more adapter to plug that 1/4" into a sound card, plug a printer into the other end, and then hire Abdul Alhazred to write a Cups driver.
Gimp sucks.
And ps works with wine if you have it on windows already and drag over some system32 dlls
I’ve been using Gimp for simple things, and it’s been OK once I realized that whatever I want to do, I should look it up first instead of just trying to figure it out through trial and error.
It’s life changing when you start to rtfm.
Gimp doesn’t suck as an image editor, it just sucks as a Photoshop clone, which it was never meant to be. It’s an amazing image editor.
back in the 90s piggybacking peripherals was a common way to upgrade your machine
hardware dongles were the worst. god forbid you wanted to run 3ds and lightwave on the same box, sentinel didn’t like other dongles goddamnit
Neither does HASP.
Just use Krita or the Affinity line of software (works under WINE pretty much flawlessly).
You’ve managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can’t get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I’m happy to give them money for it even.
I don’t use Publisher, I used Affinity photo and it didn’t give me any problems - I assumed it was the same for the rest of their stuff, but maybe I was mistaken.
How do I run Paint Shop Pro 9 on Linux?
I recall a native build of Photoshop 3 running on Irix. That was a long time ago though.
Ooooor, go to photopea. Dont need to download anything but just open a browser
gimp!
