RogueHart Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 im trying to get cs3 to work under ubuntu studio with wine Photoshop.exe. it works sorta lol. it starts loading and i get the splash screen and the window opens up. but before the program finishes loading it dies and the console gives me an error. whats confusing is that the error is different with each run. sometimes its just a missing dll(which if i searched through my vista partition i could find it lol) i'd like to know why the errors that cause the program to abort are different with each run. it kinda goes against everything ive learned about a computer needing a human to screw it up lol.

VaKo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Run it on windows. If you must run it on *nix, get an Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueHart Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just stick with GIMP, You'll get used to it quickly. And you wont need to pirate anything! ive used the gimp before. thats what i used before i found my old ps7 disc. and there are things it can do that make it more effective for my art style than the gimp. the gimp can do everything photoshop can but its more convoluted and harder to reverse later on then i got cs3 and its stuff made everything easier than the gimp. ill be using the gimp but only if it would be less trouble than using my old xp laptop and its copy of cs3 lol.
