I was wondering if Adobe released any Photoshop versions for Linux? Because I looked everywhere in Adobe's site but I could not find any information.

We currently have no plans to build a version of Photoshop for Linux.

I'm sure there must be loads of people who would dearly love to dump MSFT and it's stranglehold on Windows. There is of course Linux. Peppermint is moving from strength to strength, but there appears to be nothing doing in so far as support from Adobe for Linux. 

To help us living 'on the edge' types, why not offer the older versions of Photoshop - even new Photoshop alone, but just for Linux?

All support welcome

Thanks

Hi Mary,

 

You can use Linux with Photoshop for Web (beta), which requires a subscription that includes Photoshop.

Adobe only offers the current version and one previous of their apps. None of these are compatible with Linux. I've read that some folks install Photoshop using a VM or Wine.

This discussion keeps popping up here in one form or another at regular intervals.

As far as I know there are actually no plans that there's a Photoshop version Linux.

Thanks, unfortunately a Creative Cloud subscription (the compounded cost)
is really for regular business users, who can offset it, and not for the
occasional use only of just one application.

Adobe are a business designed to make profit. They aren't part of your campaign to dump Microsoft. I don't understand the refererence to "offering" old versions for Linux. It would take years of development and tens of millions of dollars to convert for Linux, and they no longer work on old versions.

The Photography plan with 20 gb storage (annual) is deeply discounted and payable at $9.99 per month or in a lump sum. If that's out of your price range, I am wondering why you are asking about Photoshop for Linux at all? You can get a 7-day trial to see if PS for Web works for you. Be sure to cancel if it does not.

@Mary28105188tyfd  I've merged your thread with an existing thread on the same subject.

 

Note the official response from Adobe  at the top of the thread which states 'We currently have no plans to build a version of Photoshop for Linux.'

Thanks. The problem with Cloud is that it means funding a bundle of applications even if someone only wants one and for occasional use.

There was obviously profit in PS before this happened, owing to the ongoing versions and updates, and that was an affordable viable long term iniative.

Not everyone wants their work stored in the Cloud, but very heavy multiple size apps make it necessary as it swamps local storage space 

I don't think there's a huge amount of cost in running an old version with Linux and clearing any unexpected bugs (AI?) . The outcome of bundling all the programs at higher cost has obviously been the movement to free equivalent applications, when all that really needs to happen is keeping an older one bug free.

Hi Mary,

I'm confused. From your first post, it sounded as if you were interested in Adobe for Linux, but your later posts seem to object to the costs even if it were available, which it is not. Earlier versions of Photoshop will not work will Linux. Neither will current versions.

 

We are not allowed to recommend non-Adobe applications, but you might do a web search for "image editors" and "Linux" to see what comes up that you can afford and also works with Linux.
