P: Provide support for Linux

I'd be very interested in seeing Lightroom for Linux. Ubuntu/Debian support would be easiest for me.

Even just being able to run it in Wine or CrossOver Office would be enough (Adobe could supply a crosstie file? http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibil... ).

This would so totally get my vote. I have been wanting this on Linux for a long time now since I'm trying to transition everything to Linux. Besides being a photographer, I'm also a PC consultant and technician. I have been transitioning many of my clients to Linux, some of which are photographers. I'm a member of several organizations and groups and would fully promote this if it could be done.

Darktable is good, Photivo is good, but Lightroom is perfect ... I want this tool on Linux !!
I think that more and more people are using Linux, and it could be interesting for Adobe to port Lightroom on it.

It's sad, but many people are staying on windows for using Lightroom only, even if they have already tried Linux !

Don't hold your breath! Adobe seems to have a problem with Linux... Management problem could well be the cause!

Sad but true, I've lost any hope... And I'm a paying customer since years!

I'm looking forward to Darktable on Linux at some point I'm sure a module to convert part of xmp from Lightroom to Darktable will be created. I'm ready to support a regression of some feature as I cannot stand having to install, update and maintain a partition just for Windows!

Mike,

Thank you for your advice! I'll wait for new ASP release...

Regards,

First of all, let me disappoint you - I don't think you can run LR in wine - I did give it a try with the beta of Crossover 11, and I couldn't make it work.

Second, and to make fair comparisons between Corel and Adobe, Corel bought a company (Bibble Labs) that already had a product to run on all three platforms.

Don't reject ASP without:

1. Waiting for the maintenance release that is due this month
2. Getting hold of a copy of AFX's Bibble Survival Guide, most of which is directly transferable to ASP

I also want to support this idea! After condemnable death of Lightzone, I'm looking to buy good RAW software for linux. I;ve tested Corel AfterShot trial (big +++ for linux version!), but Lightroom4 suits me much more. Unfortunately it is not too comfortable to run lightroom on VirtualBox (i haven't tested lightroom in wine yet) and i prefer to have native linux software with support when paying more than $130...

C'mon Adobe, Corel has published Linux version, why do not you?

@Erwan9802097, sadely Bibble is nowhere close to Lightroom from a usability point of view. I have tried the demo version 3 times now, I don't feel well when using it. I do prefer Darktable on Linux over Bibble.

But I do prefer Lightroom, so that's why I'am asking and askin again Adobe to consider this platform!

Would love to have LR on Linux, would order it immediately if it worked on the OS of my choice. Currently the Corel's ASP seems to be the only viable solution.

Now that adobe decided to not support windows xp, for lightroom 4, there are a lot of users out there who detest vista and windows 7, who would rather run linux than windows 7. So please please give us linux support.

Windows 7 is awful.

It should not be much of a port, from OS X, to linux.

Thanks!
Don
