Adobe Photoshop CC 2021 on Linux

Disclaimer

By providing this software, I do not give any guarantees of its work. This script was inspired by the work of LinSoftWin. This is only its adaptation. This script will be maintained and developed until I get bored and/or have free time. PR is welcome.

Showcase

What works

• Drag and drop
• Clipboard image pasting
• Mime type association (right click menu, see here)
• GPU acceleration

Tested on:

• Arch Linux
• KDE Plasma 6.2 (Wayland)
• wine 9.19
• AMD GPU

Known issues

• When hovering on toolbar item to see its instructions, black bars may appear around
• Wine's experimental wayland driver is completely broken

Notes

• If you have Papirus Icons installed, the script will use an icon that is already in that pack. If not, the script will download an icon from the internet and use it for the .desktop entry.

Usage

./install.sh
Usage: ./install.sh [options...] <path>
-a    Use already existing Photoshop.tar.xz
-i    Install Photoshop
-h    Show this help
