Who needs Gimpshop if you can afford Photoshop?

Filed in archive Linux For Windows Users by Rom Feria on February 9, 2008

I wrote about the open source version of "Photoshop" called Gimpshop. Whilst it is a free alternative to the commercial Adobe Photoshop tool, what if you already have a copy of Photoshop CS2 and wish to switch to Linux but simply can't because of that app? Good news! Now you can.

With the latest version of WINE, you can now "natively" install Photoshop CS2 without pulling your hairs out! Want to see some proof? Head to Softpedia and see for yourself!

Now, if only WINE can run the more Windows applications, then there will be no need to get yourself into the Microsoft licensing sinkhole.

Developing countries are struggling to get their educational institutions going. Even if photoshopCS2 runs on Linux who of those people can afford the licence? GIMP is free software and can be installed in thousands of schools without that governments get into conflict with Adobe. It not about Mircosoft only ....
