Adobe Photoshop CS4 Forum

To get this version (CS4) of Photoshop to install, you have to do so using the 1.1.17 version of wine. I made a bottle in cxoffice named CS4 and used winetricks to include some of the dependencies. I did this by downloading that version of wint and using it instead of cxpro's version of it running commands similar to...

env WINEPREFIX="~/.cxoffice/CS4" sh ~/winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005sp1 ie6 colorprofile fontsmooth-rgb atmlib allfonts tahoma fixfonts winxp
env WINEPREFIX="~/.cxoffice/CS4" ~/wine-1.1.17/wine "~/Adobe CS4/Setup.exe"

You can get the 1.1.17 version of wine from their sourceforge page, and winetricks from DanKegel's website

After the installation goes well, when I tried to run it using that 1.1.17 version, it didn't work, so I used cxoffice's run command to run C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe and everything seems to run quite well. The only things I ran into is that the Text Tool does not work at all, as soon as you click on it the Photoshop program freezes, and you have to set the Software Rendering option in Bridge CS4's Preferences for it to function correctly. Everything else I tried worked like a champ.

with the text tool not working, do you think that could be because corefonts is not installed?

i know you said allfonts, but im thinking it could be the bottle version + something like that. anyway im gona test it.

allfonts does install the corefonts part, so I think it has to do with the Adobe TrueType Font Manager (atmlib.dll). atmlib was another winetrick that I tried and it works with the ppa version of wine, but not with the wine that is packaged with crossover, I'm not sure what is done differently. If you do find anything I am very interested to know your tests and results.
